My junit formatter makes it into cucumber 0.3.6

I am proud to announce that my junit formatter was incorporated into cucumber codebase since version 0.3.6  (August 2009)

I’ve recently started using cucumber. The BDD is starting to dawn on me, even though I still have some reservations.

Since my current project uses the continous integration server ‘hudson’, I really wanted the old-fashioned junitreport output from cucumber, so hudson would report any regression errors as soon as possible.

I looked at some on the existing attempts at a junit formatter, but none where quite good enough, IMO. I needed duration times, and the mapping:

• 1 feature -> 1 testsuite
• 1 scenario -> 1 test

So I forked cucumber, and wrote one from scratch. This code made it into cucumber in August, and can now be used as

cucumber –format  junit –out DIR

I’ve written more info on the cucumber wiki:  http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/continuous-integration

Enjoy, everyone.
