That's my exact gripe with Cucumber. It's basically just regex soup that's designed to make other people think that you just feed raw intent to your computer and it divines the correct behavior. I honestly don't see how it adds actual value, when Ruby is already so damn readable.
- minhajuddin 15y agoI've tried using cucumber a couple of times and failed, and I knew there was something wrong with it. Thanks for pointing that out.
- cheald 15y agoLots of people like it, so I'm sure that there's an argument to be made for it, but it feels unnecessary and crufty. Personally, I think that the strongest case for it is that it lets your manager without any technical ability feel like he's a useful part of the process, but it just seems like a solution in search of a problem. Something like Steak (https://github.com/cavalle/steak https://github.com/cavalle/steak) feels far more comfortable and readable to me.
