    text
    copied!<p>I've set up Cucumber-JS and Grunt-JS within my solution.</p> <p>My folder structure looks like this:</p> <pre><code>+ Project + features - Search.feature + step_definitions - Search_steps.js + support - world.js - package.json - gruntfile.js </code></pre> <p>I've added a Cucumber-JS task in gruntfile.js:</p> <pre><code>// Project configuration. grunt.initConfig({ pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'), cucumberjs: { src: 'features', options: { steps: 'features/step_definitions', format: 'pretty' } } }); grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-cucumber'); grunt.registerTask('default', ['cucumberjs']); </code></pre> <p>And I've written out my feature file:</p> <pre><code>Feature: Search As a user of the website I want to search So that I can view items Scenario: Searching for items Given I am on the website When I go to the homepage Then I should see a location search box </code></pre> <p>And my step definition file:</p> <pre><code>var SearchSteps = module.exports = function () { this.World = require('../support/world').World; this.Given('I am on the website', function(callback) { callback.pending(); }); this.When('I go to the homepage', function (callback) { callback.pending(); }); this.Then('I should see a location search box', function (callback) { callback.pending(); }); }; </code></pre> <p>And my world.js file:</p> <pre><code>var World = function (callback) { callback(this); }; exports.World = World; </code></pre> <p>But when I run grunt at the command-line, while it seems to see my features, it never seems to run any of the steps.</p> <p>All I get is this:</p> <pre><code>Running "cucumberjs:src" (cucumberjs) task Feature: Search Scenario: Searching for items Given I am on the website When I go to the homepage Then I should see a location search box 1 scenario (1 pending) 3 steps (1 pending, 2 skipped) Done, without errors. </code></pre> <p>Cucumber doesn't seem to pay any attention to what I put inside the tests.</p> <p>Even if I put some obvious logical bug in, e.g.:</p> <pre><code>this.Given('I am on the website', function(callback) { var x = 0 / 0; callback.pending(); }); </code></pre> <p>It just ignores it and prints the above message.</p> <p>The only way I can seem to get any error out of Cucumber is to put an outright syntax error in the step file. E.g. remove a closing bracket. Then I get something like this:</p> <pre><code>Running "cucumberjs:src" (cucumberjs) task C:\dev\Project\features\step_definitions\Search_steps.js:14 }; ^ Warning: Unexpected token ; Use --force to continue. Aborted due to warnings. </code></pre> <p>What am I missing here?</p>
