Cucumber tests pass without functionality existing

I have started building a test suite for a Meteor app with Cucumber (following http://joshowens.me/cucumber-js-and-meteor-the-why-and-how-of-it/). Some tests are passing without any functionality in place.

For example, the test file login.feature includes Feature: Allow users to login, with Scenario: A user can login with valid information and When I click on sign in link

which is supported in the file loginSteps.js with:

this.When(/^I click on sign in link$/, function (callback) {
    helper.world.browser.
        waitForExist('.at-signup', 7000).
        waitForVisible('.at-signup').
        click('.at-signup').
        call(callback);
});

The sign in button actually has class="btn btn-default navbar-btn" and yet Velocity says that the test passes in 858ms. Another test passes url(helper.world.cucumber.mirror.rootUrl + "event/1") although there is no such url.

Other tests do fail, however, like:

getText('.user-menu .dropdown-top-level', function (err, username) {
            assert.equal(username[0], 'userme');
        }).

with error:

Then I should be logged in  Fail
 TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined

Any ideas?

Try doing a console.log(err) inside your getText statement. My guess is that you aren't finding a match when you run it.

Try something like this:

getText('.user-menu .dropdown-top-level', function (err, username) {
  if (err) {
    callback.fail(err.message);
  }
  assert.equal(username[0], 'userme');
}).
