= pickled_aruba

My own branch of Aruba so I can have needed changes incorporated immediatly. I have features I need to add and was waiting till my first pull request was processed but it never was so I needed to take control. My additions so far are very minor but I need to be able to use them in my apps when I need them. The Aruba project managers are just to busy to actively support pull requests.

I'll incorporate main Aruba changes as I need them.

Based on Aruba 2.3.0

== Description

Cucumber steps for driving out command line applications. The command line application can be anything, a compiled C program, a Java program, a Perl script - anything.

== Usage

gem install pickled_aruba

Then, just require the library in one of your ruby files under features/support

require 'pickled_aruba'

You now have a bunch of step definitions that you can use in your features. Look at pickled_aruba/cucumber.rb to see all the step definitions. Look at features/*.feature for examples (which are also testing PickledAruba itself).

== Getting more output with tags.

PickledAruba has several tags you can use to get more information. You can put these tags on individual scenarios, or on a feature. The tags are:

• tt>@announce-cmd</tt - See what command is is run
• tt>@announce-stdout</tt - See the stdout
• tt>@announce-stderr</tt - See the stderr
• tt>@announce-dir</tt - See the current directory
• tt>@announce-env</tt - See environment variables set by PickledAruba
• tt>@announce</tt - Does all of the above

== Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
