"the JSON should be ..." failing in JRuby #18

Closed declan closed 12 years ago

declan commented 12 years ago

I'm using JRuby 1.6.5 with Rails 3.1.3 and Cucumber 1.1.4.

When I try to use the step 'the JSON should be ...' I get this error

You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.length (NoMethodError)
/home/declan/.rvm/gems/jruby-1.6.5@neo/gems/cucumber-1.1.4/bin/../lib/cucumber/step_match.rb:73:in `replace_arguments'
...

Current workaround is to use 'the JSON at "" should be ...' instead, i.e. use the JSON at PATH step, and just give it the root path.

I haven't been able to get json_spec consistently passing in JRuby. I've removed support for JRuby in the Travis build until somebody comes forward to help keep it JRuby-compatible. Let me know if you're interested.

In principle, sure. I've found this gem tremendously helpful on the JRuby project I'm currently working on. Let me take a look at the code later this week and see if it's something I think I could manage.
