I suggest you look up ENV['BROWSER'] (and anything else you might need
to configure Selenium) directly in your my_steps.rb file
(I also suggest you move Before blocks to features/support/env.rb)
# Rakefile
Cucumber::Rake::Task.new do |t|
profile = ENV['PROFILE'] || 'default'
t.cucumber_opts = "--profile #{profile}"
end
# features/support/env.rb
Before do
browser_type = ENV['BROWSER'] || '*chrome'
browser = Selenium::SeleniumDriver.new(server_host, server_port,
browser_type, root_url, time_out)
end
If you want to rely less on environment variables, you can make
yourself a YAML file with settings (e.g. selenium.yml) consisting of a
Hash of Hash:
chrome:
server_host: foo
browser: *chrome
timeout: 2
ie:
server_host: bar
browser: *ie
timeout: 9
And do something like this in your env.rb:
profile = ENV['PROFILE']
c = YAML.read_file('features/selenium.yml')[profile]
browser = Selenium::SeleniumDriver.new(c['server_host'], ...)
-and be done with one single env var - PROFILE
