Cucumber and Capybara require different Selenium-Webdriver gem versions - trying to set up test environment

Question

I am relatively new to BDD and have been struggling to get my test environment set up and stable, and a lot of googling has still failed to surface how to solve this problem.

Capybara v 1.0.0 requires selenium-webdriver (~> 2.0)

Cucumber however throws an error message when I have gem selenium-webdriver v.2.3.0 installed and demands "Could not find selenium-webdriver (~> 0.2.0)"

Is there a simple way to fix these dependencies and make selenium capybara and cucumber all play nice together?

Using cucumber (1.0.2) Using cucumber-rails (0.4.1)

I'm just adding a comment for anyone who comes late to this issue... it's a bit more complex than that I have discovered... there's a mess of dependencies on versions with the different testing tools... selenium and cucumber and capybara are a bit tricky to get working together :-( — Richard Jordan

Your cucumber-rails gem is out of date. Your version is 0.4.1 when the latest is 1.0.2. Run bundle update cucumber-rails to update that and try again.
