Passing variables on the command line to check the cucumber

Question

I am trying to keep usernames and passwords for the cucumber project out of version control.

Is there a way to manually pass variables on the command line, such as usernames and passwords, to a cucumber script?

My backup plan was to put them in a YML file and add this file to gitignore so that they do not fall into version control.

Answer 1

So, I saw your comments with Tin Man, and the answer is: Yes.

cucumber PASSWORD=my_password

PASSWORD is set as an environment variable, and you can use its value by referring to it as ENV['PASSWORD']. For instance,browser.text_field(:id => 'pwd').set ENV['PASSWORD']

• cucumber.yml : firefox: BROWSER_TYPE=firefox PLATFORM=beta

  @browser = Watir::Browser.new ENV['BROWSER_TYPE']
