Thanks. :) The examples directory (which actually only contains one example) shows what is the bare minimum needed. You need: 1. A file with the .wire extension with the host and port for cucumber to connect to in features/step_definitions (just like the example). Cucumber automatically finds this 2. An "app" D source file that tells the compiler which modules to look for step definitions in at compile-time. These are passed in as compile-time string parameters to cucumber. server. runCucum berServer (look at examples/source/app.d) 3. Compile the server app with its dependencies by using dub or the build system of choice 4. Run the server, run cucumber in another shell, marvel at the results :P The only thing that may be confusing in the example directory is the fact that the modules that app.d references are themselves in the `tests` directory. The reason being that I actually use them for unit tests too and as we all know, duplication is bad. I expect to run the acceptance / feature tests from a shell script that compiles and runs the server, runs cucumber then brings the server down. Now that I think of it it should be possible to do that from Cucumber itself by using `After` and `Before`. I had to do something like that whilst bootstrapping the process and also for some tests I wrote for my MQTT broker. I think this should work but I can't try it right now so don't trust me: Before do @server = IO.popen("./your_server_name") Timeout.timeout(1) do while @socket.nil? begin @socket = TCPSocket.new('localhost', port) rescue Errno::ECONNREFUSED #keep trying until the server is up or we time out end end end end After do @socket.nil? or @socket.close if not @server.nil? Process.kill("INT", @server.pid) Process.wait(@server.pid) end end The reason it should work is that Cucumber supports mixing step definitions in Ruby and over the wire. Which is awesome.
