It looks like cucumber just looks for any file under features with a familiar extension.
I did "touch features/fake.rb" and got snippets on the next run.

I've submitted a patch to cucumber to fix the problem; I am hoping that it will be included in the master before too long. Until then, I created a fork (based on cucumber 0.3.98) at git://github.com/JESii/cucumber.git in case you're interested.

I figured out the problem -- at least for why we get NO snippet text when there are no step definitions. Cucumber supports both ruby and python programming languages and has to figure out what language you're using before it can actually program the snippets. The way they figure out the language is they look at the step file but, of course, there's no step file so it can't figure out the language. Therefore, the whole snippet_text definition fails and you end up with a blank entry for each undefined step definition. Haven't figured out how to fix this yet...

Nope; haven't figured it out yet. It's happened again (and you can see it in section 4.1 of the book as well). When I get a chance, I'm going to see if there's anything posted about this on the Cucumber site.

And yes, good book so far. I'm looking forward to the next beta as I've found several references to "not yet" sections of the book.

I had the same problem, no snippets! I googled and...found your page :) Did you work out what the problem was? Otherwise I'm enjoying this book a lot...
