Tonight I decided to give iCuke a try but I couldn’t find any good getting started guides. iCuke is a BDD gem for cucumber that enables integration testing for the iPhone. I’m familiar with using cucumber with Rails so getting going wasn’t terribly difficult but thought the pre-reqs should be a little more clear.
Here are five simple steps for getting started:
Step 1: Setup directories
$ cd path/to/your/iphone/app
$ mkdir features
$ cd features
$ mkdir support step_definitions
Step 2: Create cucumber.yml with the following content:
default: -r support -r step_definitions .
Step 3: Create support/iphone.rb with the following content:
require 'icuke/cucumber'Step 4: Enable the iPhone Simulator Accessibility Inspector in System Preferences
Step 5: Create app.feature with the following content:
Background: Given "MyApp" from "../MyApp.xcodeproj" is loaded in the simulatorScenario: User views the Home screen When I tap "Home" Then I should see "Welcome"

Thanks for writing this. From iCuke version 0.5.5 onward I’ve removed the need to enable the Accessibility Inspector by hand, so give that a go, see how you get on.
I also plan to add a simple generator al la Rails to do the basic cucumber setup for a new application, should be landing soon.
