CoffeeScript support

[paulbjensen]

Hi

I've added CoffeeScript Support for Cucumber.js.

Regards,

[paulbjensen]

I will write the specs tomorrow morning (apologies for not doing pure TDD, I will look to improve on that).

Hi,

I had a go at trying to write some specs for this, but failed miserably. I initially thought about setting up a spy on the require function to intercept it being called with a CoffeeScript file in the path. Does that sound like a good test?

[jbpros]

Yeah spying on require should be fine. I've added a helper for this: https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-js/blob/master/spec/cucumber/cli/argument_parser_spec.js#L11

I was wondering: couldn't we simply require the coffeescript module once as a hard dependency and not care about it when loading support code? Would that be a performance bugger?

[paulbjensen]

We can, in fact that simplifies the code, and kind of makes sense since CoffeeScript will be a package dependency anyway.

Thanks for the pointer on the spy helper. I'll do some coding on it now.
