Re: Keeping node dependencies up to date

Aslak Hellesøy — Thu, 06 Jun 2019 05:41:22 -0000

Interesting idea to keep them all at latest in package.json. I'll try that!

It might be worth noting that this approach will probably only work for applications, and not for libraries. I don't think a 3rd party library's package-lock.json is honoured.

Upgrading many dependencies at once might cause breakage, and now you don't know what upgrade broke your build, so you start investigating, possibly spending a lot of time. Yesterday I did this on a Rails project, and came across https://github.com/lpender/... which will create a commit for each upgrade, then run git bisect to find the offender in case something broke. I haven't found a bummr alternative for Node - someone please make one!

Hi Lena,

The Transform feature is not going to be reintroduced in a future release of Cucumber. You either have to stay on a release that supports them (2.4.0 or earlier), or upgrade your Transforms to ParameterTypes if you wish to use 3.0.0 or later.

If you need help with upgrading you have the choice between community support (Slack, Mailing list) which doesn't provide any guaranteed replies, or purchase a paid support plan from Cucumber Ltd, where you are guaranteed replies and help. You can find more information at https://cucumber.io/support

You'll find all the released versions here:

I assume you were misled by the links, which I just fixed: https://github.com/cucumber...

Try to capture context-action-outcome while writing as little as possible (with fat pens) seems to work well. Simple drawings too, depending on domain. Make it easy to visually take in the whole map.

Avoiding implementation detail is really important. I often invite participants to imagine it’s 1920, and there are no computers.

For Ruby and JavaScript I recommend features/support/parameter_types.{rb,js}. That's just a convention though, Cucumber will pick them up from any file under features.

Regular Expressions and Cucumber Expressions can be used side-by side. If you define a step definition with a Regular Expression, then Regular Expressions are used. If you define a step definition with a String, Cucumber Expressions are used.

No environment variable is needed.

How about:

ParameterType(
name: 'delivery-type',
regexp: /(?:restaurant delivery|customer pickup|platform delivery)/,
transformer: -> (type) { type.gsub(' ', '_').to_sym }
)

You can read more about the origin of the name here: https://www.quora.com/Why-i...

Cucumber owes its tremendous world-wide success to about 1000 whimsical people who have contributed novel ideas and code over a period of nearly 10 years.

Changing the name would not only be a very costly activity, it would also send a signal that we're abandoning our enormous community's identity and culture. That would be a foolish thing to do. The only contributions from that day on would be from people thinking inside a very small box.

I could go on naming hundreds of government organisations and Fortune 500/FTSE 100 companies that not only use Cucumber, but also buy training and consulting from Cucumber Ltd, but that would just be booooooring.

A silly name worked pretty well for Apple. We'll stick to Cucumber.

Re: What Do User Story Conversations Look Like?

Aslak Hellesøy — Thu, 15 Jun 2017 09:29:15 -0000

Great post Kent! It's worth emphasising that we generally discourage the use of Gherkin during example mapping. It's more effective to capture examples in a simpler format. For example, a rule about airline seating "babies uner 2 must sit in an adult's lap" could be exemplified as "Toddler Joe sits on daddy Phil's lap" and flesh that out as Gherkin *after* the example mapping session.
