Run/Debug Configuration: JRuby Cucumber

Main class

Specify the fully qualified name of the class with the main() method. This class is taken from the jar archive attached when enabling Cucumber support in project.

By default, the main class name is cucumber.cli.Main.

Type the class name manually or click to open the Choose Main Class dialog, where you can find the desired class by name or search through the project.

Glue

In this text field, specify the name of the package, where step definitions are stored.

VM options

Specify the string to be passed to the VM for launching an application, for example, -mx, -verbose, and so on.

When specifying JVM options, follow these rules:

• Use spaces to separate individual options, for example, -client -ea -Xmx1024m.

• If an option includes spaces, enclose the spaces or the argument that contains spaces in double quotes, for example, some" "arg or "some arg".

• If an option includes double quotes (as part of the argument), escape the double quotes using backslashes, for example, -Dmy.prop=\"quoted_value\".

• You can pass environment variable values to custom Java properties. For example, if you define a variable MY_ENV_VAR, you can pass it to the foo property as follows:

  -Dfoo=${MY_ENV_VAR}

The -classpath option specified in this field overrides the classpath of the module.

Program arguments

Type a list of arguments to be passed to the program in the format you would use on the command line. Use the same rules as for specifying the VM options.

Working directory

Specify the working directory to be used for running the application. This directory is the starting point for all relative input and output paths. By default, the field contains the directory where the project file resides. To specify another directory, click and select the directory.

Expand the list to view available path variables that you can use as a path to your working directory.

note

The list of path variables may vary depending on the enabled plugins.

Environment variables

Create environment variables and specify their values.

Use classpath of module

Select the module whose classpath should be used to run the application.

Shorten command line

Select a method that will be used to shorten the command line if the classpath gets too long, or you have many VM arguments that exceed your OS command line length limitation:

• none: RubyMine will not shorten a long classpath. If the command line exceeds the OS limitation, RubyMine will be unable to run your application and will display a message suggesting you to specify the shortening method.

• JAR manifest: RubyMine will pass a long classpath via a temporary classpath.jar. The original classpath is defined in the manifest file as a class-path attribute in classpath.jar. You will be able to preview the full command line if it was shortened using this method, not just the classpath of the temporary classpath.jar.

• classpath file: RubyMine will write a long classpath into a text file.

Click this button to define the scope of code coverage analysis. In the Add Pattern dialog that opens, type the comma-delimited list of Ruby regular expressions, and specify whether the matching files should be included into or excluded from code coverage analysis.

The patterns defining files to be included into code coverage analysis, are marked with +; the ones to be excluded are marked with -.

Each pattern can be enabled or disabled. To do that, select or clear the checkbox next to a pattern. By default, all newly created patterns are enabled.

Click this button to delete the selected pattern from the list.

Click this button to change the selected code coverage pattern.

Do not use the optimized C runtime

Select this checkbox to enable the option --no-rcovrt. Use this option with discretion, since it significantly slows down performance.

Enable coverage in test folders.

If this checkbox is selected, the folders marked as test are included in the code coverage analysis.

Is Active

Select checkboxes in this column to have the log entries displayed in the corresponding tabs in the Run tool window or Debug tool window.

Log File Entry

The read-only fields in this column list the log files to show. The list can contain:

• Full paths to specific files.

• Aliases to substitute for full paths or patterns. These aliases are also displayed in the headers of the tabs where the corresponding log files are shown.

  If a log entry pattern defines more than one file, the tab header shows the name of the file instead of the log entry alias.

Skip Content

Select this checkbox to have the previous content of the selected log skipped.

Save console output to file

Select this checkbox to save the console output to the specified location. Type the path manually, or click the browse button and point to the desired location in the dialog that opens.

Show console when a message is printed to standard output stream

Select this checkbox to activate the output console and bring it forward if an associated process writes to Standard.out.

Show console when a message is printed to standard error stream

Select this checkbox to activate the output console and bring it forward if an associated process writes to Standard.err.

Click this button to open the Edit Log Files Aliases dialog where you can select a new log entry and specify an alias for it.

Click this button to edit the properties of the selected log file entry in the Edit Log Files Aliases dialog.

Click this button to remove the selected log entry from the list.

Click this button to edit the select log file entry. The button is available only when an entry is selected.

Name

Specify a name for the run configuration to quickly identify it among others when editing or running.

Allow parallel run

Allow running multiple instances of this run configuration in parallel.

By default, it is disabled, and when you start this configuration while another instance is still running, RubyMine suggests stopping the running instance and starting another one. This is helpful when a run configuration consumes a lot of resources and there is no good reason to run multiple instances.

Store as project file

Save the file with the run configuration settings to share it with other team members. The default location is .idea/runConfigurations. However, if you do not want to share the .idea directory, you can save the configuration to any other directory within the project.

By default, it is disabled, and RubyMine stores run configuration settings in .idea/workspace.xml.

Alt+Insert

Create a run/debug configuration.

Alt+Delete

Delete the selected run/debug configuration. Note that you cannot delete default configurations.

Ctrl+D

Create a copy of the selected run/debug configuration. Note that you create copies of default configurations.

The button is displayed only when you select a temporary configuration. Click this button to save a temporary configuration as permanent.

Move into new folder / Create new folder. You can group run/debug configurations by placing them into folders.

To create a folder, select the configurations within a category, click , and specify the folder name. If only a category is in focus, an empty folder is created.

Then, to move a configuration into a folder, between the folders or out of a folder, use drag or and buttons.

To remove grouping, select a folder and click .

Click this button to sort configurations in the alphabetical order.

Alt+Insert

Click this icon to add one of the following available tasks:

• Run External tool: select to run an external application. In the dialog that opens, select one or multiple applications you want to run. If it is not defined in RubyMine yet, add its definition. For more information, see External tools and External Tools.

• Run Another Configuration: select to execute another run/debug configuration and wait until it finishes before starting the current configuration. If you want to run several configurations in parallel, use a compound run/debug configuration.

• Run File Watchers: select this option to have RubyMine apply all the currently active File Watchers.

• Run Grunt task: select this option to run a Grunt task.

  In the Grunt task dialog that opens, specify the Gruntfile.js where the required task is defined, select the task to execute, and specify the arguments to pass to the Grunt tool.
