Cucumber: web_steps.rb

Question

I'm wasting my time here and I can't seem to figure this out..

I have used Cucumber in Rails applications before, and if I'm not mistaken, it generates the features/step_definitions/web_steps.rb file when you run rails g cucumber:install. Right?

I looked this up in a book I was using a while ago to learn Rails and it says so there aswell:

It nevertheless passes because of the features/step_definitions/web_steps.rb file, which was generated when you ran the rails generate cucumber:install command.

However, when I run it in this application I'm trying to start working on, it does not generate it..

$ rails g cucumber:install
      create  config/cucumber.yml
      create  script/cucumber
       chmod  script/cucumber
      create  features/step_definitions
      create  features/support
      create  features/support/env.rb
       exist  lib/tasks
      create  lib/tasks/cucumber.rake
       force  config/database.yml

No web_steps.rb to be found. Am I losing my mind here?

Thanks.
