Exception: Exception

Defined in:
lib/cucumber/core_ext/exception.rb

Overview

Exception extension that tweaks Exception backtraces:

  • The line of the failing .feature line is appended to the backtrace

  • The line that calls #cucumber_instance_exec is replaced with the StepDefinition’s regexp

  • Non intersting lines are stripped out

The result is that backtraces look like this:

features/step_definitions/the_step_definition.rb:in `/some step/'
features/the_feature_file.feature:41:in `Given some step'

or if the exception is raised in the tested code:

lib/myapp/some_file.rb:in `/some_method/'
lib/myapp/some_other_file.rb:in `/some_other_method/'
features/step_definitions/the_step_definition.rb:in `/some step/'
features/the_feature_file.feature:41:in `Given some step'

All backtrace munging can be turned off with the --backtrace switch
