Remove web_steps.rb

[andycox]

The cucumber-rails authors removed web_steps.rb in version 1.1.0 (cucumber/cucumber-rails#174) because they believed it led to misuse of Cucumber. (See The training wheels came off for more background.)

I propose doing the same for cucumber-sinatra.

I removed the related template files and updated the generator. features/step_definitions is the default directory for step definitions, so rather than omit that directory it makes sense to create an empty features/step_definitions to help new Cukers get started. We could also create a dummy features file and corresponding step definition file, but that might require additional thought to do the right thing.

It doesn't look like there is any automated testing to verify my changes, but I did successfully run cucumber-sinatra with the updated version. Let me know whether I can help with any other testing. I also did not bump the version, since I don't know how you'd want to handle that.

Thanks for the patch!

Are you actively using cucumber-sinatra and are interested in maintaining this? :)

[andycox]

I just came across cucumber-sinatra, and I wouldn't say I'm actively using it, but I'm willing to help. Are you looking for help with this issue only or with the entire project?

[bernd]

Well, I don't use it anymore so I was wondering if you would like to maintain the cucumber-sinatra project.
