Cannot use the same step multiple times in a scenario
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: JBEHAVE-652
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JBEHAVE-652
Project: JBehave
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.5.4
Reporter: Andreas Ebbert-Karroum
I have a story that looks like this:
{code}
Meta:
@themes Book
Scenario:
As a member I can return all my borrowed books at once.
Given an empty library
And a user <user> has borrowed books <isbns>
And a user <user2> has borrowed books <isbns2>
When user <user> returns all his books
Then books <isbns> are not borrowed anymore by user <user>
And books <isbns2> are still borrowed by user <user2>
Examples:
| user | isbns | user2 | isbns2
|
| [email protected] | 0321293533 | |
|
| [email protected] | 0321293533 | [email protected] | 1234567962
|
| [email protected] | 0321293533 | [email protected] | 0321293533

|
| [email protected] | 0321293533 1234567962 | [email protected] | 0321293533
1234567962 |
{code}
As you can see, I would like to reuse a step two times, with different
parameter sets (user/isbns and user2/isbns2). JBehave forces me to wrote two
different step definitions (two annotated methods), because the @Named actually
pulls the value straight out of the examples table, regardless, of what
parameters match the step.
So I am forced to do this. Very ugly, IMHO.
{code}
@Given("a user <user> has borrowed books <isbns>")
public void createListOfBorrowedBooks(@Named("user") String user,
@Named("isbns") String isbns) throws SQLException{
}
@Given("a user <user2> has borrowed books <isbns2>")
public void createListOfBorrowedBooks2(@Named("user2") String user,
@Named("isbns2") String isbns) throws SQLException{
createListOfBorrowedBooks(user, isbns);
}
{code}
I regarded the steps as something similar to a method or keyword, but now I
realize that there are subtle differences.
As weird as Robot Frameworks syntax and grammar might be sometimes, it is
coping much better with these circumstances.
