# Cucumber-Lua
[](https://travis-ci.org/cucumber/cucumber-lua)
A [wire protocol](https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-ruby-wire) server for [cucumber-ruby](http://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-ruby) that executes steps defined in [Lua](http://www.lua.org/)
#### Installation
1. Install Lua 5.2
2. Install cucumber-lua using luarocks:
```
luarocks build https://raw.github.com/cucumber/cucumber-lua/master/cucumber-lua-0.0-2.rockspec
```
3. Install [Ruby]([url](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/installation/)), [cucumber-ruby]([url](http://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-ruby)) and the [wire protocol gem]([url](https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-ruby-wire)).
Create a `Gemfile`
```
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem "cucumber"
gem "cucumber-wire"
```
Then ask [Bundler]([url](https://bundler.io/)) to install the gems:
bundle install
Add a file to load the wire protocol plugin:
echo "require 'cucumber/wire'" > features/support/wire.rb
5. Add a .wire file telling cucumber that Lua is listening:
###### /features/step_definitions/cucumber-lua.wire
```
host: 0.0.0.0
port: 9666
```
#### Usage
Run the cucumber-lua server:
```
cucumber-lua
```
Then run cucumber in another terminal:
```
bundle exec cucumber
```
#### Lua Step Definitions
cucumber-lua expects you to define a single file for step definitions (features/step_definitions/steps.lua). If you need anything more than a single file, use lua modules and require them from your main steps file (that means we don't need luafilesystem).
Create your step definitions using the following global keywords:
* `Before(fn)` - called before each scenario
* `After(fn)` - called after each scenario
* `Given(step, fn)` - define a step where a pre-condition/state is declared
* `When(step, fn)` - define a step where user action or behaviour is performed
* `Then(step, fn)` - define a step where the outcome is observed
* `Pending(message)` - indicate a step as pending implementation
Note: If a `Before` or `After` function fails the whole scenario is reported as failed.
###### /features/step_definitions/steps.lua
```Lua
Calculator = require("calculator")
Before(function()
Calculator:Reset()
end)
After(function()
print("I am called after each scenario")
end)
Given("I have entered (%d+) into the calculator", function (number)
Calculator:Enter(number)
end)
When("I press add", function ()
Calculator:Add()
end)
Then("the result should be (%d+) on the screen", function (number)
assert(Calculator.result == tonumber(number),
"Expected " .. number .. ", was " .. Calculator.result)
end)
Then("Something not yet implemented", function ()
Pending("It's not ready yet")
end)
```
