# File lib/cucumber/runtime/user_interface.rb, line 23 def ask(question, timeout_seconds) STDOUT.puts(question) STDOUT.flush puts(question) answer = if Cucumber::JRUBY jruby_gets(timeout_seconds) else mri_gets(timeout_seconds) end raise("Waited for input for #{timeout_seconds} seconds, then timed out.") unless answer puts(answer) answer end
Suspends execution and prompts question
to the console (STDOUT). An operator (manual tester) can then enter a line of text and hit <ENTER>. The entered text is returned, and both question
and the result is added to the output using puts.
If you want a beep to happen (to grab the manual tester’s attention), just prepend ASCII character 7 to the question:
ask("#{7.chr}How many cukes are in the external system?")
If that doesn’t issue a beep, you can shell out to something else that makes a sound before invoking ask
.

Embed src
of MIME type mime_type
into the output. The src
argument may be a path to a file, or if it’s an image it may also be a Base64 encoded image. The embedded data may or may not be ignored, depending on what kind of formatter(s) are active.
