  • Hello, is there a way to get just the glue code and use that in our code? I downloaded the zip file and am hesitant to set it up the way the Playbook describes because I already have Cucumber set up on my computer and also the basic code that clicks through most of our Appian website, and I don't want any of the prior set up to get messed up because of that. However, I am interested in using the steps that are in the CheatSheet.feature such as "Given I click on card "CARD_LINK_NAME or CARD_LINK_NAME[INDEX]" to be able to add more tests on top of what we have, but am unsure of how to go about getting the code for it.

  • Hi Gina,

    You can reuse your existing installation and replace the src and lib folders from the new zip you downloaded. This will update you to the latest version in the current spot you are using Cucumber. When you do this, you could rename the existing folder to lib_old and src_old for example to make a backup of your current setup in case you need to revert.
