Cucumber-Eclipse

Eclipse plugin for Cucumber. This repo will host what comes out of the collabortive effort that results from this discussion.

Installation and further information

Please head over to the plugin website for more information.

Modules list

Plugins:

• cucumber.eclipse.editor - an editor for .feature files - will use step definitions from integration implementions if they exist
• cucumber.eclipse.runner - runs a feature file wrapped up in a JUnit test. Initially will depend on the steps integration implementation.
• cucumber.eclipse.steps.integration - an extension point for plugins that supply a means to deduce a list of all steps defined in a project
• cucumber.eclipse.steps.jdt - an implementation of the integration extension point that uses Eclipse JDT to find steps.

Feature:

• cucumber.eclipse.feature - an Eclipse feature set that includes all of the above plugins.

Working on the plugin

You should be able to work on the plugin by cloning this repository:

git clone git@github.com:cucumber/cucumber-eclipse.git

You can then import the 4 plugin projects into Eclipse.

We have arbitrarily decided to support Eclipse 3.5+ - hopefully this will cover most development kits that don't stick to the bleeding edge of Eclipse versions, however if there is an overriding reason to use a more recent version of the eclipse APIs, this is not set in stone. When adding dependencies to the plugins, make sure to add them as version [3.5,0).

Releasing

There is an Eclipse Update Site on the gh-pages branch. If you're going to do a release you'll need to clone that branch too:

git clone -b gh-pages git@github.com:cucumber/cucumber-eclipse.git cucumber-eclipse-site

You can then import the update-site subdirectory as an Eclipse project, and you'll also need to import the cucumber.eclipse.feature directory of the main code that you're using.

The build procedure is then:

• Update version numbers in plugin.xml/MANIFEST.MF for each plugin
• Update version number in feature.xml for the feature
• Open site.xml and remove the feature version you're removing, and add the new one
• In the site.xml, click the Build All button
• In the _posts directory, add a new .md file for your version, giving brief release notes.
• Git-add all changes, and commit using a github issue that covers the release, commit and push to relevant branches.
