When I try to generate a feature I get

/opt/local/apache2/rails_data/qna/ebay.com.au$ cucumber-nagios-gen feature
search --trace

One or more unknown options given: --trace

Usage: cucumber-nagios-gen generator_name [options] [args]

Generate a cucumber-nagios project.

Available generators
    project                          Generate a new self-contained
cucumber-nagios project.

General options:
    -p, --pretend                    Run, but do not make any changes.
    -f, --force                      Overwrite files that already exist.
    -s, --skip                       Skip files that already exist.
    -d, --delete                     Delete files that have previously been
generated with this generator.
        --no-color                   Don't colorize the output
    -h, --help                       Show this message
        --debug                      Do not catch errors



It seems that 'feature' is not detected as generator.
