cant get basic tests to run about cucumber-nagios

[tauboy]

if it helps here is a list of gems currently installed on my server

[root@localhost rubygems-1.3.5]# gem list

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

bundler (0.9.7, 0.8.0)
cucumber-nagios (0.6.7)
diff-lcs (1.1.2)
extlib (0.9.14)
gemcutter (0.3.0)
highline (1.5.2)
json_pure (1.2.0)
rake (0.8.7)
templater (1.0.0)

and this is what happens when I create a project and run gem bundle

[root@localhost cucumber]# cucumber-nagios-gen project google

Your new cucumber-nagios project is set up.

To get going, you'll need to bundle gems into the project:

  $ gem bundle

It's highly recommended you version control your projects:

  - with Git: git init ; git add . 
  - with Bazaar: bzr init ; bzr add 

[root@localhost cucumber]# cd google/
[root@localhost google]# gem bundle

Hey, sorry cucumber-nagios is giving you the run around.

A few things that will help debugging:

• What version of Ruby are you running? (cRuby, REE, JRuby)

1. run bin/cucumber-nagios features/google.co.uk/browse.feature --debug --pretty (note the debug + pretty flags)
2. copy the first line of output (looks something like bin/cucumber --require ...)
3. paste the copied line onto your command line, and add --backtrace to the end
4. paste the output of that command here

hi mate

no need to worry about it giving me a few problems it'll help me troubleshoot issues when I start to use it in more depth

ok ruby version is
[root@localhost google]# ruby -v
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i386-linux]

the output of the backtrack is:-

[root@localhost google]# /opt/nagios/cucumber/google/bin/cucumber --require /opt/nagios/cucumber/google/features --format pretty features/google.co.uk/browse.feature --backtrace
Feature: google.co.uk
It should be up

hope it makes sense, as I said early I did a base install using the gem bundle to grab all the gems

Hey again,
Could you download and run this gist, and paste the output here?

Thanks!

That's really annoying. I did some digging, and it looks like the instance_method_defined? method wasn't added to Ruby until 1.8.6.

Unfortunately CentOS/Red hat haven't packaged 1.8.6 for RHEL/Centos 5, but some kind soul has packaged it and published it in a Yum repo:

http://krnjevic.com/wp/?p=75

Hope that helps!

[tauboy]

that did the trick

my basic test works now

thanks so much for all your help in this, but it may be worth noting the ruby version needed in the readme to save someone else having this error

cheers

Mike

[auxesis]

Yeah, I've added a personal TODO to update the documentation.

Thanks for your help debugging the issue!
