Gherkin

Fast Gherkin lexer and parser based on Ragel. Gherkin is two things:

The language that has evolved out of the Cucumber project.
This library

Running RSpec and Cucumber tests

rake clean spec cucumber

If the RL_LANG environment variable is set, only the parsers for the languages specified there will be built. E.g. in Bash, export RL_LANG=“en,fr,no”. This can be quite helpful when modifying the Ragel grammar.

Release process

Run “rake clean spec cucumber” for each platform (1.8.6, 1.8.7, 1.9, jruby) to make sure all is green.
rvm 1.8.7

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

Fork the project.
Run rake ragel:rb to generate all the I18N lexers
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, do not mess with Rakefile, VERSION, or History.txt. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but
```
bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
```
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
