gistfile1.feature

# cucumber supports selenium by default, just mark features with @selenium tag

@selenium
Feature: This feature will be executed with selenium
    ...

gistfile2.rb

# if you're using fakeweb, then you will get an error like the following

Real HTTP connections are disabled. Unregistered request: GET http://127.0.0.1:54602/__identify__ (FakeWeb::NetConnectNotAllowedError)

gistfile3.rb

# this is because selenium runs the application on a different server. We need to tell fakeweb to allow those connections to localhost

# just put this to features/support/env.rb to enable connections to localhost
FakeWeb.allow_net_connect = %r[^https?://(localhost|127.0.0.1)]
