I'm trying to create a BDD test with serenity (former thucydides) using the jbehave extension, this is my story (originating from the serenity jbehave examples)
Scenario: a scenario with embedded tables
Given that I sell the following fruit
| fruit | price |
| apples | 5.00 |
| pears | 6.00 |
And I sell the following vegetables
| vegetable | price |
| potatoe | 4.00 |
| carrot | 5.50 |
When I sell fruit
Then the total cost should be total
Examples:
| goods | total |
| apples, carrot | 11.50 |
| apples, pears | 11.00 |
| potatoe, carrot | 9.50 |
The generated java code is the following:
@Given("that I sell the following fruit\r\n| fruit | price |\r\n| apples | 5.00 |\r\n| pears | 6.00 |")
public void givenThatISellTheFollowingFruitFruitPriceApples500Pears600() {
// PENDING
}
@Given("I sell the following vegetables\r\n| vegetable | price |\r\n| potatoe | 4.00 |\r\n| carrot | 5.50 |")
public void givenISellTheFollowingVegetablesVegetablePricePotatoe400Carrot550() {
// PENDING
}
@When("I sell fruit")
public void whenISellFruit() {
}
@Then("the total cost should be total")
public void thenTheTotalCostShouldBeTotal() {
// PENDING
}
How do I retrieve the table arguments in my test ?
I tried the ExamplesTable parameters as per documentation on jbehave tabular parameters but that did not work.
Is there a way to make the given annotation more readable (by not adding the table parameters) ?
You can retrieve the ExampleTable parameter like this (and have more readable given annotations):
@Given("that I sell the following fruit $exampleTable")
public void thatISellTheFollowingFruit(ExamplesTable exampleTable) {
System.out.println("MyTable: "+exampleTable.asString());
}
If it doesn't find the declared method and tells you that this step is pending, you could check if you have a whitespace in your story after the word fruit:
Given that I sell the following fruit
How to access the several rows and columns in your tables is written in the jBehave documentation under http://jbehave.org/reference/stable/tabular-parameters.html
You could also think about creating only one table instead of three:
Scenario: a scenario with embedded tables
Given I sell <product1>
And the price is <product1price>
And I sell <product2>
And the price is <product2price>
When I sell something
Then the total cost should be <total>
Examples:
| product1 | product1price | product2 | product2price | total |
| apples | 5.00 | carrot | 6.50 | 11.50 |
| apples | 5.00 | pears | 6.00 | 11.00 |
| potatoe | 4.00 | carrot | 9.50 | 13.50
The java code would have to look like this to access the parameters:
@Given("I sell <product1>")
public void iSellProduct(@Named("product1") String product1) {
//do something with product1
}
Does this help? If not, what exactly does not work when you try to read the exampleTable?
