I solved this issue - at first I was adding gems in enviorement/tests.rb but after adding those gems in gemfile - problem get solved. this is the step-

in gemfile

group :development, :test do
  #gem "rspec-rails", '>=1.3.2'
  gem 'rspec', '>=1.3.2'
  gem "capybara", "0.3.9"
  gem "cucumber", ">=0.2.2"
  gem "cucumber-rails", "0.3.2" 
  gem 'database_cleaner'
  gem 'webrat', ">=0.4.3"
end

from project folder console/terminal run this command => ruby script/generate cucumber

At a glance I would say that your are having dependency issues. Rails 2 is pretty old, and those gems you are trying to install have moved quite far ahead of where Rails 2 is.

So I would avoid using the ">=" specification in the Gem requirement. Since you're using a Railscasts as a learning tool, I would make the Gem versions "=". So you can at least guarantee that the versions are the same.

Using ">=" for legacy project is pretty dangerous as Ruby gems are fast moving targets. So for every legacy app, there comes a day when you have to lock versions.
