Surprisingly, yes, I do. Cucumber is a testing tool
for ruby applicationsfor a whole lot of programming languages.Yeah, we use gherkin, which is a variety of cucumber. Programmers name things weird. Java is a coffee bean and C is just a letter; they’ve just gotten big enough that people recognize them now.
Java is also an island
(Sorry, small inside joke for German-speaking Java programmers)
And slang for coffee, which is some old tech too IIRC
Java for insels
Gherkin is the syntax, Cucumber is a specific implementation.
C is just a letter
It’s the successor to B, which was derived from BCPL (“Basic Combined Programming Language”)
Incidentally, C++ is a reference to how integer values are iterated in C. And then C# is a pithy take on C++ wherein you’ve stacked two rows of plus signs on top of each other.
There’s often some rhyme or reason to these names.
I found this interesting, was there an A?

Have always personally seen Gherkin being used with Cucumber, as I believe that they’re two parts of the same whole, but I’m happy to be corrected if wrong :).
My understanding is that Gherkin is the syntax used to write the scenarios / acceptance criteria, whilst Cucumber is the tool that interprets said scenarios and executes them as automated tests.

I wonder what A and B looked like XD

Eating, preparing, or inserting? The answer is yes.
Careful, they might rule you out for being overqualified
Demonstrate doing all three in the proper order. You get one cucumber.
It’s a terrible time right now. I’ve applied for over 100 roles this year and only got 3 interviews. Interviews went well, but you never move on. Likely they had someone in mind for the position already.
I think I’m close to reaching out to one of those temp agencies and try to find a year contract somewhere with the hope I end up getting a permanent offer somewhere.
I have 10 years experience in operations and finished a BBA a year ago and it has not amounted in any new opportunities sadly.
Just keep working on your cucumber. Things will come around.
Getting onto a short term contract sounds like a good next move.
Something is better than nothing, but keep looking.
Testing stuff with cucumber is really cool tbh
I disagree. I’m a full-stack engineer, and every time I interact with our QA test suite in cucumber, I break out in hives. I hate keeping the gherkin feature file up to date with the test code, why so much complexity?
Ah. Yeah to be fair I’ve only used it on personal projects. I’ve never had to use it at work. Maybe I’d change my tune after that experience
Or maybe we just use it poorly. It doesn’t help that we use perhaps my least favorite language for testing: Java. I’ve written tons of integration tests, but we just used Python and unittest with some plugins to make output nicer, and it was pleasant enough.
This is one of those things where if I was to say, “no, but I know celery”, people would think I was being silly.
Well yeah, cucumber is a Ruby/Java/etc testing framework and celery is a Python async task queue framework. Know what job you’re applying for, silly.
😁
Do cucumbers have experience in you?
I assume that’s what experience with cucumbers was
Yeah but then they add all these new requirements to be considered “experienced”. Every company really wants you to know Cucumber++ but only to spent all your time converting old legacy Cucumber code. It’s going to be an awful job to take.
And some of them don’t even know that CucumberScript is an entirely different language. No one would ever use CucumberScript in the Backend. It’s clearly a frontend only language. But nope. They keep trying to ask you if you have experience with Cucumber++ or CucumberScript for backend work. These recruiters have no idea what they are even asking you. You clearly should be using Eggplant. It’s the only thing that will work longterm as your backend requirements expand.
“I’ve had a few inside me, if you know what I mean.”
“Ah, good. A salad lover.”
That some new framework or something?
Edit: yeah, a testing tool.
At the rate those things get spewed out, you can use pretty much any dictionary word and it’ll be the name of some kind of software tool. Probably in javascript.
And here I thought the fact that it’s spelled “Cucumber” and not “qcmbr” was the giveaway that it’s a joke.
Hey, i’m german. It’s Gurke here.
Cucumba!
“Oh” Drops cucumber
required skill for certain onlyfans work
Cucumber? I barely know her.
Fun fact!
Cucumbers taste better when taken in anally
*end-to-end
That’s not what I meant when I said I had taste buds up the ass!
Do you have experience in Word?
