[CUCUMBER] Noob question

Meta question: is this the right/best place to ask for assistance with
Cucumber or am I in the wrong place?

Anyway, here goes. I just started using cucumber and it’s very
impressive!

Check out this fragment:

And I go to the home page
Then I should see “Choose Your Jurisdiction:” within “h2”
And I follow “Middlesex”
Then I should see “Middlesex” within “#user-navigation

My problem is that it’s failing on the 4th step.

And it looks like the “click” on the link “middlesex” didn’t have the
expected effect. In other words, when used interactively I see what I
expect to see in user-navigation.

So my question is about debugging this problem. What I need to know is:

  • is the "And I follow “Middlesex” step actually clicking on what I
    think it is?
  • is that click working or doing what it should do?
  • what page is being examined by the "Then I should see “Middlesex”
    within “#user-navigation” step?

These are all debugging questions, right, if I could see those I could
figure out what was going wrong.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Cucumber has it’s own list:

Feel free to ask us your rspec questions here, though :slight_smile:

Cheers,

With rspec you can put ‘debugger’ in your steps and then run the spec
from
the command prompt. Make sure you have the ruby-debug gem installed. In
cucumber you can put a ‘debugger’ statement in any step definition.
Hopefully this will be enough to get you started

All best
