Question

I’m using cucumber for BDD and I used @wip tag for a certain scenario that I want to focus on. But when I try to run “cucumber –wip” it gives an error that says ” You can’t use both –strict and –wip (RuntimeError)” Any suggestions on how to debug it?

PS: I am using cucumber 1.1.4, cucumber-rails “1.2.1”, rails “3.1.0”

Answer 1

It’s possible that Cucumber is getting the --strict option from a profile. Do you have a cucumber.yml file in your project directory or config subdirectory? If so, you can add a line to it like this:

wip: --wip

Then, you can use the work-in-progress feature without --strict being silently appended, like so:

cucumber --profile=wip

The Cucumber wiki has a page with more info on Cucumber profiles.
