cucumber tests fail when using drb, succeed when not.
Using RM 3.1.1RC2
- cucumber (0.10.2)
- cucumber-rails (0.4.0 5fa1bd0)
- rspec (2.5.0)
- spork (0.9.0.rc4)
My Spork server starts fine.
when I run all features "with --drb"
/home/scottp/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-head/bin/ruby -e $stdout.sync=true;$stderr.sync=true;load($0=ARGV.shift) /home/scottp/workspace/lexigenic/script/cucumber /home/scottp/workspace/lexigenic/features --format Teamcity::Cucumber::Formatter --expand --drb --color

And the test side reports

When I run it "without --drb"

The only difference is the "--drb" option./home/scottp/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-head/bin/ruby -e $stdout.sync=true;$stderr.sync=true;load($0=ARGV.shift) /home/scottp/workspace/lexigenic/script/cucumber /home/scottp/workspace/lexigenic/features --format Teamcity::Cucumber::Formatter --expand --color

Anyone have any idea why that would be?

Did you start spork server from RubyMine using "Tools | Run Spork Drb.." ?
Yes I am starting spork from inside RubyMine. Output from Spork when running Cucumber tests is attached.

Could you show your cucumber run configuration options? Please take a screenshot.
Sure thing, Cucumber Run All Features config attached to this reply.

Hi Roman,
Thank you for your replies. Your help in this issue is highly appreciated!
This seems to be a never ending story though ;(
Me too, I've never managed to get spork up and running.
In the meantime, I work again with other solutions, but this bothers me. I have to give up many other important features.
But Testing with RubyMine is unpractical and not to recommend, because the testing without drb is to slow, its better to use terminal + textmate again.?:|
I attach my screens, too. Hopefully, this issue is gonna be fixed soon, or when me (or others) are doing something wrong have a hint,
what we can do actually.
Thanks a lot!

I finally fixed this issue, look here:

greetinx
it didn't make a difference for the issue I'm having, though it might point the way toward it.
My problem is best illustrated through a 2x2 grid of . With and Without the DRB checkbox checked, With and without "--format Teamcity::Cucumber::Formatter" included in the Runner options dialog.

There is no test GUI structure. (see attached picture)
It launches with the commandline: /home/scottp/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-head/bin/ruby -e $stdout.sync=true;$stderr.sync=true;load($0=ARGV.shift) /home/scottp/workspace/lexigenic/script/cucumber /home/scottp/workspace/lexigenic/features --drb --verbose --color --format Teamcity::Cucumber::Formatter
it is filled with lines like...
##teamcity[customProgressStatus testsCategory='Scenarios' count='0']
##teamcity[testSuiteStarted name='Feature: Authentication' locationHint='file:///home/scottp/workspace/lexigenic/features/manage_authentications.feature:1' timestamp='2011-04-13T17:36:23.328-0600']

I repeat, the only thing different in these runs are in the "Run->Edit Configurations" settings for All Features. DRB checked or unchecked, and the "--format Teamcity::Cucumber::Formatter" in and out of the Runner Options
I hope this helps.

Hi,
At first there is no need to specify Teamcity::Cucumber::Formatter formatter explicitly. If no '--format' option is given RubyMine will use our formatter implicitly. More over if --format or --drb options are explicitly specified RubyMine wont attach GUI to tests results.
1) With DRB and with "--format Teamcity::Cucumber::Formatter"
2) Without DRB and with "--format Teamcity::Cucumber::Formatter"
As I explained before GUI won't be shown and there is no sense in such settings.
With DRB and with "--format pretty" corresponds to console behaviour but spork server is launched from RubyMine with Teamcity::Cucumber::Formatter in loadpath
Without DRB and with "--drb --format pretty" corresponds to console behaviour if spork server is launched in OS console.
3) With DRB and without "--format Teamcity::Cucumber::Formatter"
Is expected use case for using Cucumber+Spork in RubyMine. Spork server should be launched using RubyMine | Tools | Run Spork Drb... otherwise I'll get an error that formatter isn't loaded. "--format Teamcity::Cucumber::Formatter" isn't visible in cmdline because formatter is passed using CUCUMBER_FORMAT environment variable which was set for spork server process. Normally cucumber should prefer it to other ways of specifying --format option.
"No tests found" mean that no events were sent from formatter to RubyMine GUI. According to your screenshot most likely default cmdline formatter somewhere overrides CUCUMBER_FORMAT settings. (In RM 4.0 in such cases we will show better error msg that our test reporter wasn't attached to test framework).
4) Without DRB and without "--format Teamcity::Cucumber::Formatter"
Expected use case for Cucumber without Spork in RubyMine.
P.S: I've tested it on fresh Rails 3.0.5 project with cucumber 0.10.2, cucumber-rails 0.4.0 and spork 0.9.0.rc4 / 0.8.4. In past cucumber-rails gem generated buggy cucumber.yml where CUCUMBER_FORMAT not always was preferred. cucumber.yml was discussed at http://devnet.jetbrains.net/message/5300866#5300866. In mine recently created project cucumber.yml is
