About to create a new Github Issue?

We appreciate that. But before you do, please learn our basic rules:

  • This is not a support forum. If you have a question, please go to The Cukes Google Group.
  • Do you have an idea for a new feature? Then don't expect it to be implemented unless you or someone else sends a pull request. You might be better to start a discussion on the google group.
  • Reporting a bug? Please tell us:
    • which version of Cucumber you're using
    • which version of Ruby you're using.
    • How to reproduce it. Bugs with a failing test in a pull request get fixed much quicker. Some bugs may never be fixed.
  • Want to paste some code or output? Put ``` on a line above and below your code/output. See GFM's Fenced Code Blocks for details.
  • We love pull requests. But if you don't have a test to go with it we probably won't merge it.

Contributing to Cucumber

The rest of this document is a guide for those maintaining Cucumber, and others who would like to submit patches.

Talking with other devs

You can chat with the core team on https://gitter.im/cucumber/contributors. We try to have office hours on Fridays.

Installing your own gems

A Gemfile.local-file can be used to have your own gems installed to support your normal development workflow.

Example:

gem 'pry'
gem 'pry-byebug'
gem 'byebug'

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project. Make a branch for your change.
  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.
  • Make sure your patch is well covered by tests. We don't accept changes to Cucumber that aren't tested.
  • Please do not change the Rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself so we can ignore when we merge your change)
  • Send us a pull request.

Running tests

gem install bundler
bundle install
bundle exec rake

To get code coverage results, run `bundle exec rake cov`

First timer? No problem!

If you are new to the project or to OSS, check the label Easy. Also, you can help us to correct style violations reported here: .rubocop_todo.yml.

Release Process

  • Upgrade gems with scripts/update-gemspec
  • Bump the version number in lib/cucumber/version
  • Update CHANGELOG.md with the upcoming version number and create a new In Git section
  • Remove empty sections from CHANGELOG.md
  • Now release it:
git commit -am "Release X.Y.Z"
make release
