Hi Rob, SeleniumSteps is just a utility class, but you are not forced to inherit from it.
Nothing stops you from creating your own instance of Selenium in your steps: public class MySteps(){ private Selenium selenium; @Given("the browser is <browser>") public void givenBrowser(@Named("browser") String browser){ selenium = createSeleniumFor(browser); } } Note that if using POJOs for Steps, you need to use the StepsFactory: |||addSteps(||new| |StepsFactory().createCandidateSteps(||new| |MySteps())); ||| Cheeers On 07/07/2010 17:21, r.day...@yelladworks.com wrote: > I'm sure this is obvious, and someone else must have tried this, but it's > not leaping out at me. > > I'm evaluating jBehave to use with selenium, and I'd like to be able to > run each scenario against a different browser.
