Cucumber "--format progress" doesn't work - ruby-on-rails-3

Question

In my cucumber.yml I've tried to add this option (default: --drb --format progress), but it return an error :
Exception encountered: #<ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (3 for 2)
Error creating formatter: progress>
When I take it in brackets default: --drb --"format progress" it doesn't helps:
invalid option: --format progress (OptionParser::InvalidOption)
So maybe there is no option, but it should be
And "format pretty" works correctly without any brackets.
I want see not all scenarios in console, but just which has an errors, perhaps there is another way to do this.
Full trace:
wrong number of arguments (3 for 2)
Error creating formatter: progress (ArgumentError)

I have a Spork by the way maybe it's a problem.

Answer 1

Based on the updated information in your question, I think I see the problem (hence I'm posting another answer as it's completely different to my other one). It looks like Cucumber is trying to instantiate an ActiveRecord class, so I suspect you have a model named 'Progress' in your project somewhere, which Cucumber is trying to create instead of of the actual formatter.
I was able to reproduce your problem (close enough, anyway) by adding this class in the 'support' folder:
class Progress
def initialize
raise "I don't exist!"
end
end
According to the docs, you should be able to specify a fully qualified class name here i.e. --format Cucumber::Formatter::Progress, to force Cucumber to use it's own formatter. However, I tried this and it still doesn't work, there seems to be a bug in how Cucumber resolves the fully-qualified name.
I was able to get around this by adding this line to my env.rb file:
require 'cucumber/formatter/progress'
Which then allowed me to run cucumber --format progress successfully.
I think that, as env.rb gets executed before any other code, then Cucumber's Progress class will be the first one that gets found when creating the formatter.

Answer 2

It looks from the output you've pasted in, that you have an extra angle ('>') bracket floating around in your cucumber.yml file:
Error creating formatter: progress>
Unless that's a typo in your question, for some reason Cucumber is trying to create a formatter named 'progress>', so you probably just need to find and remove the extra angle bracket.
Edit: This wasn't the problem at all, see my other answer
