Answer 1

Did you run the Cucumber generator after you installed the Cucumber gems? It's all documented here. http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/ruby-on-rails

I seem to remember getting that error when i forgot to run the generator on my own install. The 'default profile' your error mentions is referred to in the cucumber.yml file thats created on running the generator.

ruby script/generate cucumber

Answer 2

Try setting the environment variable RSPEC, it looks like it's looking in your test/unit directories (assuming you're using rspec of course!)

export RSPEC=true

It might also be the default setting in config/cucumber.yaml is looking for a file that isn't there. Rename this file temporarily and see if it starts working. I had to remove a lot of cruft from mine. For reference, it looks like this:

<%
# rerun = File.file?('rerun.txt') ? IO.read('rerun.txt') : ""
# rerun_opts = rerun.to_s.strip.empty? ? "--format progress features" : "--format           #{ENV['CUCUMBER_FORMAT'] || 'pretty'} #{rerun}"
# std_opts = "#{rerun_opts} --format rerun --out rerun.txt --strict --tags ~@wip"
std_opts = "--format progress features"
%>
default: <%= std_opts %>
wip: --tags @wip:3 --wip features

As you can see I commented a lot of it out.
