Append environment variable via "cucumber"-step

It is quite handy to modify the environment of a process. To make this
possible, aruba provides several steps. One of these is
I append the values to environment variables:-step. Using this step appends
the values. Each variable name and each value is converted to a string.
Otherwise ruby would complain about an invalid argument.

Background

Given

I use the fixture "cli-app"

And

an executable named "bin/aruba-test-cli" with:

#!/bin/bash

echo $LONG_LONG_VARIABLE

And

a file named "features/support/variables.rb" with:

ENV['LONG_LONG_VARIABLE'] = '1'

Scenarios

Append environment variable by using a step given in table

Given

a file named "features/home_variable.feature" with:

Feature: Environment Variable
  Scenario: Run command
    Given I append the values to the environment variables:
      | variable           | value      |
      | LONG_LONG_VARIABLE | long_value |
    When I run cli
    Then the output should contain:
    """
    1long_value
    """

When

I run cucumber

Then

the features should all pass

Append single environment variable by using a step

Given

a file named "features/home_variable.feature" with:

Feature: Environment Variable
  Scenario: Run command
    Given I append "long_value" to the environment variable "LONG_LONG_VARIABLE"
    When I run cli
    Then the output should contain:
    """
    1long_value
    """

When

I run cucumber

Then

the features should all pass
