I’m trying to output my cucumber tests to pdf format. I’ve been doing this

  • 0

I’m trying to output my cucumber tests to pdf format. I’ve been doing this for a while and it’s worked. After upgrading some gems my pdf output has stopped working with the error:

% rake cucumber:new_report_pdf

Here is my cucumber.yml file

<%
rerun = File.file?('rerun.txt') ? IO.read('rerun.txt') : ""
rerun_opts = rerun.to_s.strip.empty? ? "--format #{ENV['CUCUMBER_FORMAT'] || 'progress'} features" : "--format #{ENV['CUCUMBER_FORMAT'] || 'pretty'} #{rerun}"
std_opts = "--format #{ENV['CUCUMBER_FORMAT'] || 'progress'} --strict --tags ~@wip"
%>

wip: --tags @wip:3 --wip features
rerun: <%= rerun_opts %> --format rerun --out rerun.txt --strict --tags ~@wip
report:  --format html --out=features.html
report_pdf: --format pdf --out=features.pdf
new: --tags @new
new_report: --format html --out=features_new.html --tags @new
new_report_pdf: --format pdf --out=features_new.pdf --tags @new 

Do I have to upgrade cucumber? or downgrade prawn or something?

Update: I’ve tried using the latest cucumber & prawn git repo (24/05/2011) in my Gemfile and running bundle. I still get the same problem.

Update: (18/07/2011)
After following take_tk’s advice and using
$ gem uninstall prawn –version=0.11.1

I got a little further but still have an issue:

    I have the same trouble. So, uninstalled “prawn –version=0.11.1”. Then I got OK.

    [tk@EeePC-31 kyuuyo]$ sudo gem list prawn*

    * LOCAL GEMS *

    prawn (0.11.1, 0.8.4) <<<– version confused!

    prawn-core (0.8.4)

    prawn-layout (0.8.4)

    prawn-security (0.8.4)

    [tk@EeePC-31 kyuuyo]$ sudo gem uninstall prawn –version=0.11.1

    Successfully uninstalled prawn-0.11.1

    [tk@EeePC-31 kyuuyo]$ sudo gem list prawn*

    * LOCAL GEMS *

    prawn (0.8.4)

    prawn-core (0.8.4)

    prawn-layout (0.8.4)

    prawn-security (0.8.4)
