Cucumber.yml was found, but could not be parsed.
07 Apr 2010
Cucumber suddenly stopped working today with this error message:
cucumber.yml was found, but could not be parsed. Please refer to cucumber's documentation on correct profile usage.
I hadn't changed that file and I couldn't understand what could have caused it to stop working. To troubleshoot I tried parsing the file manually:
$ script/console
>> e = ERB.new(File.read('config/cucumber.yml'))
>> pp e.result
"\ndefault: --format pretty features/search.feature:14\nted/features/search.feature:16\n --format rerun --out rerun.txt --strict --tags ~@wip\nwip: --tags @wip:3 --wip features\n"
See that extra stuff? That is in the rerun.txt - so I removed it and now I'm back in business.
$ rm rerun.txt
