----------------------------------------
Summary: Allow injection of the "Steps" class to customize its
behavior
Key: JBEHAVE-702
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JBEHAVE-702
Project: JBehave
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 3.5.4
Reporter: Daniel Schneller
To get more natural German story texts, it would be very helpful if the
Steps.listCandidates() method could be amended.
This would allow for automatically generating slight variations of the texts
without having to specify them all as aliases. Currently I am doing this:
@Then("soll foo bar with $xyz")
@Aliases(values = {
"foo bar with $xyz",
"soll foo bar: $xyz",
"foo bar: $xyz" })
The word "soll" is made optional this way. The reasoning behind this is that
when using "And" it is more natural to write
Then soll something else
And foo bar with $xyz
instead of
Then soll something else
And soll foo bar with $xyz
It would be very nice to not have define aliases for all these variants,
because it makes the code harder to maintain. Instead, I though I'd add this
dynamically, the same way annotated Aliases are, but it seems this
functionality would require providing a new subclass of
org.jbehave.core.steps.Steps which I cannot see how to do.
I suggest a change like this:
1) In org.jbehave.core.steps.Steps add another call in listCandidates() after
each of the addCandidatesFromAliases(...) like addCustomDerivedCandidates(...)
with the same signature and a protected empty default implementation.
2) Allow configuration to specify a custom subclass of
org.jbehave.core.steps.Steps. In there custom additions to the candidates list
could be made, like the one I described.
