[Cucumber] [Parser Error] Getting it when trying to run a very first Cucumber script

[Vizag]

Hi All,

I am a very beginner to Cucumber and BDD. I am getting parser error when
tried to run the first test script itself.

I am windows 7 with 64 bit.

Here is feature file:
-----------------------------------

Feature: Visit Career guide page in career.guru99.com

Scenario: Visit career.guru99.com

Given I am on http://career.guru99.com/

When I click on jobs tab

Then I should see Jobs page

Here is the step-guru.rb file from Step_definitions directroy:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

#Cucumber:

#BDD...Given-When-Then

#Given - that Web site is open and launched

#When - type in log in and pwd and press login

#Then - The page with title 'Welcome' appears


require 'watir-webdriver'

require 'colorize'

browser = Watir::Browser.new



Given (/^ I am on career.guru99 demo Page$/) do

Browser.goto "http://career.guru99.com"

end



When (/^ click on Jobs tab$/) do

Browser.text (:name, "Jobs" ).click

end



Then (/^ I should see Jobs page$/) do

Browser.goto "http://career.guru99.com/jobs/"

puts "Successful Page load"

browser.close

end


And here is the [Parser Error] that I am seeing when running the Cucumber
script.

Hi,

You are passing the step definition file to cucumber as a feature file, so
of course you get a parse error when the step definition file is parsed by
the Gherkin parser.
Instead run cucumber from the c:\Work\Test Scripts\Cucumber directory:
c:\Work\Test Scripts\Cucumber> cucumber
or
c:\Work\Test Scripts\Cucumber> cucumber features\<feature file>.feature
