A fast Gherkin parser in Ragel

Gherkin¶ ↑

Fast Gherkin lexer and parser based on Ragel. Gherkin is two things:

• The language that has evolved out of the Cucumber project.

• This library

Running RSpec and Cucumber tests¶ ↑

rake clean spec cucumber

Release process¶ ↑

• Run “rake clean spec cucumber” for each platform (1.8.6, 1.8.7, 1.9, jruby) to make sure all is green.

• rvm 1.8.7

• Bump version in the VERSION file

• rake clean jar compile

• rake gemspec

• git commit -a -m “Release vX.Y.Z”

• rake release

• ./nativegems.sh

• gem push pkg/… (for each native gem)

Note on Patches/Pull Requests¶ ↑

• Fork the project.

• Run rake ragel:rb to generate all the I18N lexers

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with Rakefile, VERSION, or History.txt. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but

  bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
