Trouble Running Cucumber with Stephen Celis config app

Question

I'm trying to get cucumber up and running with a config app I use in Rails.

The config app is used to set various config options in Rails, for example the site value for ActiveResource:

self.site = "http://#{App['domain']}#{App['path']}"

When I run "cucumber features", I can get an error

bad URI(absolute but no path): http:// (URI::InvalidURIError)

I'm assuming this is because cucumber is not populating that self.site field with values from the config gem before it runs. I've included the config gem in my test environment but have not had any luck.

Where should I go from here?

The original app config gem is located here:

I have not used this gem, but did notice that you said you included the config gem in your "test environment." If you haven't already done so, you should make sure you do the same in the config/environments/cucumber.rb file as well. This might not be your issues, but I've seen people get tripped on test versus cucumber environments several times in the past.
