[Cucumber] [JVM] How to use background and How to structure my Tests

Marvin Schramm — 2013-05-23T17:58:29

Hey guys, I am new to cucumber-jvm and i am trying to use it in my project. 
I have a Problem understanding the usage of Background and so forth.

I general i have a problem structuring my tests.

As for now i am creating a *new* Java class for every scenario, because 
when i use one file for every 'scenariogroup' the file gets quite big and 
confusing.
That gets me in the position that, I won't have access to my Background 
(which would be in a seperate class itself), also i cant call already made 
steps(which are in other classes).

In General I am asking how to structure everything. The only way I see 
right now is to put everything in one big ugly class. Is that the only way? 
Or am I missing
some essential features/basic structering techniques?

Greeting Marvin

[Cucumber] [JVM] how to check tags in step closure?

Mike Howells — 2013-05-23T17:10:11

Ah ha! Think I've answered my own question: use tagged hooks.

[Cucumber] [JVM] how to check tags in step closure?

Mike Howells — 2013-05-23T16:59:57

I have step definitions that I want to work slightly differently depending on the feature or scenario they're used in, without having different steps that explicitly show this. For example: to use a different variant of the software under test. 

I've done this before in Python using tags. Is there a way to get the list of tags on the current scenario and feature from within a step definition closure?

With Python's behave framework, step functions are passed a context object that has information about the current feature and scenario. As well as being a useful expando to store stuff between steps, you can also get the list of tags.

[Cucumber] [JVM] Cucumber.Options Summary format

Hieu Dang Duy — 2013-05-23T03:41:37

Dear all,

I'm a newbie in Cucumber-jvm. I've set up successfully in my project (a 
maven package). I've tried using this statement in my test class:

< at >Cucumber.Options( format={"pretty", "html:target/cucumber"} )

public class MyCukesTest {}

And when the tests are finished. One file named “index.html” will be 
created in “cucumber” folder. But it doesn’t contain the *summary* report 
that I expected in this below:

FAILED: x%

PASSED: y%

SKIPPED: z%

----------------

TOTAL: s%


So, is there any "key" format which is supporting in this one?

Thanks !

[Cucumber] [Ruby] Setting up global variables & Objects in a cucumber project accessible in page objects

PTeng — 2013-05-22T21:22:08

Further to above
 
I have a page object class with the below method
 
Class LoginPage
 Include PageObject

...

 def login_with (userid,password)
  p 'Logging in now ...'
  self.password = password
  self.userid = userid
  self.login
       
     wait.until { html_text = MyBrowser::browser.page_source 
        html_text.include?("Login Page") == false
      }  
        p 'Creating menu page'         
        MenuPage.new(browser)
 end
 
I want "wait" the global wait to to available to me that was setup in env.rb or else where ?

My general principle is to try to put nothing into env.rb unless I absolutely have to. I try to think about cohesion, so I'll put things that tend to change together in the same file. That means that if I have hooks and helpers for authentication, for example, I'll put both into features/support/authentication.rb. My capybara configuration lives in features/support/capybara.rb

I think anything you can do to break up your env.rb is a help though. Just start at the bottom, pulling things out into separate files. When everything's in the same file it's hard to see the dependencies, but you'll thank yourself for spending an hour or two trying to clean it up.

The other thing, which might be quite uncomfortable to confront, is that if your Cukes feel like a sprawling mess, perhaps the application you're testing has too many responsibilities? Could it be broken up into smaller projects that can be tested separately

Hello All,
 
I am trying to set up a cucumber project using selenium-webdriver and 
page-object gems in ruby. I want to set up some global objects such as 
browser instance, browser properties among other things. Does any one know 
of a way that it can be done (or there are some design patterns) so that my 
code is DRY. I want these global objects to be available in step 
definitions and page-objects. Right now I find myself not being able to use 
them in page-object classes. some of the things that I might need to be 
available globally
 
browser = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox
wait = Selenium::WebDriver::Wait.new(:timeout => 15)

[Cucumber] [JVM] Feature/Scenario ignored on JUnit

Alexis Mas — 2013-05-22T08:09:45

I'm trying to run a simple scenario with one step, but it's ignored.

OS: Ubuntu 13.04
Cucumber: cucumber-jvm-1.1.3

*Stepdef in ActivityStepdefs.java*

public class ActivityStepdefs {
    < at >Given("^I launch the activity \"([^\"]*)\"$")
    public void iLaunchActivity(String activityName){
         //do something  
    }
}



*RunCukesTest.java*
< at >RunWith(Cucumber.class)
< at >Cucumber.Options(
        glue = {"com.axxiss.RoBDD.steps"},
        features = {"src/test/resources/features/"},
        format = "pretty")
public class RunCukesTest {
}




When I run the test I encounter this issue:


Test '.Scenario: Activity exists.Given I launch the activity 
"com.axxiss.RoBDD.app.SampleActivity"' ignored
Test '.Feature: Activity stepdefs test.Scenario: Activity exists' ignored


You can implement missing steps with the snippets below:

< at >Given("^I launch the activity \"([^\"]*)\"$")
public void I_launch_the_activity(String arg1) throws Throwable {
    // Express the Regexp above with the code you wish you had
    throw

Thanks Serguei.

Add this to your pom:

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.14.1</version>
                <configuration>
                    <useFile>false</useFile>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

When you run again you'll see that you've hit this very annoying bug:
https://github.com/cucumber/gherkin/pull/252

It's the highest priority bug to fix in cucumber-jvm/gherkin right now

I met a strange behaviour when created a standard Maven project in Eclipse 
and jdk1.7. The strange is that whet running a simpoe feature from the 
cukes  examples:

Feature: Hello World

  Scenario: Say hello
    Given I have a hello app with "Howdy"
    When I ask it to say hi
    Then it should answer with "Howdy World"


and running 'mvn clean test' in the terminal, I got:

You can implement missing steps with the snippets below:

< at >Given("^I have a hello app with \"([^\"]*)\"$")
