This article is rather old – I might be able to write up a better example, for instance these days I’d use selenium 2 (aka WebDriver) – but I think that’d probably be a more complex example, not a simpler example! It’s a fairly complex thing to do, sadly, to get cucumber and selenium playing nicely together.

For more examples of cucumber in general, take a look at http://cukes.info and the wiki linked above.

The world is the context that all cucumber steps run in - see https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/wiki/A-Whole-New-World - it's handy as you can add methods and data to it for reuse throughout your steps. You could just pass the browser around in this example, but the world is more widely useful.

This is good stuff. I kinda get it. Would you mind to give a simpler example?

Btw, why do you need to use world as an arg in your constructor (initialize method) instead of selenium’s browser? what’s special about “world”?

thanks,
