Mauro Talevi updated JBEHAVE-328: --------------------------------- Fix Version/s: (was: 3.1) 3.2 > Creation of a new parser to support the tracking of line numbers in error > reporting. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: JBEHAVE-328 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JBEHAVE-328 > Project: JBehave > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 3.1 > Reporter: Mike Neeve > Fix For: 3.2 > > Attachments: jbehave-core.patch > > > Attached is a patch for JBehave. > The main change is the addition of a new parser. Its based on Eclipse JFace, > which means we can track line numbers in error reporting. It can also be > re-used for syntax highlighting in an Eclipse editor. JFace requires some > Eclipse libraries, so these are new dependencies which still work even though > we're not running in an OSGi container. The parser is also very fast compared > to the current regex-based parser - the longest running test was 25s for the > previous parser, and now its just 0.5s. > In ScenarioParserBehaviour we've written some tests for the default > configuration of JUnitScenario. They fail with the current parser but pass > with the new one which is able to throw a new ParseException for each type of > problem. > We've added one test to CandidateStepBehaviour.java that currently fails. > Doug tried fixing it by changing the ExamplesTable to be backed by a > LinkedHashMap which means that the arguments are automatically in the correct > order. But this did not work for other examples and couldn't figure out how > to make it work, so the test is currently broken. We'd need help to fix this. > Further proposed changes would improve the detection of problems such as: > - not having enough columns in the examples section to cover all the required > variables > - having more columns than required in the examples section > - checking the order of statements e.g. ensure a When comes after a Given > - allowing boolean's for parameters > The first two are quite difficult as it involves a good knowledge of the > CandidateStep class. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
