Defined in:
lib/cucumber/glue/proto_world.rb

Overview

Defines the basic API methods availlable in all Cucumber step definitions.

You can, and probably should, extend this API with your own methods that make sense in your domain. For more on that, see Dsl#World

def pending(message = 'TODO')

    begin
      yield
    rescue Exception
      raise Pending, message
    end
    raise Pending, "Expected pending '#{message}' to fail. No Error was raised. No longer pending?"
  else
    raise Pending, message
  end
end

#puts(*messages) ⇒ Object

Note:

Cucumber might surprise you with the behaviour of this method. Instead of sending the output directly to STDOUT, Cucumber will intercept and cache the message until the current step has finished, and then display it.

If you'd prefer to see the message immediately, call Kernel.puts instead.

Print a message to the output.

# File 'lib/cucumber/glue/proto_world.rb', line 82

def puts(*messages)
  super
end

#skip_this_scenario(message = 'Scenario skipped') ⇒ Object

Skips this step and the remaining steps in the scenario

Raises:

  • (Core::Test::Result::Skipped)

def skip_this_scenario(message = 'Scenario skipped')
  raise Core::Test::Result::Skipped, message
end

#step(name, raw_multiline_arg = nil) ⇒ Object

Run a single Gherkin step

Examples:

Call another step

step "I am logged in"

Call a step with quotes in the name

step %{the user "Dave" is logged in}

Passing a table

step "the following users exist:", table(%{
  | name  | email           |
  | Matt  | [email protected]   |
  | Aslak | [email protected] |
})

Passing a multiline string

step "the email should contain:", "Dear sir,\nYou've won a prize!\n"

Parameters:

  • name (String) —

    The name of the step

  • multiline_argument (String, Cucumber::Ast::DocString, Cucumber::Ast::Table)

def step(name, raw_multiline_arg = nil)

end

#steps(steps_text) ⇒ Object

Run a snippet of Gherkin

Examples:

steps %{
  Given the user "Susan" exists
  And I am logged in as "Susan"
}

Parameters:

  • steps_text (String) —

    The Gherkin snippet to run

# File 'lib/cucumber/glue/proto_world.rb', line 39

def steps(steps_text)
  super
end

#table(text_or_table, file = nil, line = 0) ⇒ Object

Parse Gherkin into a Ast::Table object.

Useful in conjunction with the #step method. Returns a Cucumber::MultilineArgument::DataTable for text_or_table, which can either be a String:

table(%{
  | account | description | amount |
  | INT-100 | Taxi        | 114    |
  | CUC-101 | Peeler      | 22     |
})

or a 2D Array:

table([
  %w{ account description amount },
  %w{ INT-100 Taxi        114    },
  %w{ CUC-101 Peeler      22     }
])

Examples:

Create a table

users = table(%{
  | name  | email           |
  | Matt  | [email protected]   |
  | Aslak | [email protected] |
})

Parameters:

  • text_or_table (String) —

    The Gherkin string that represents the table
