Yup. JBehave is more "in the box" as its easy to sell as a Junit plugin.
Take a look at https://github.com/jbehave/jbehave-tutorial particularly a dir called etsy-stories/ and the Groovy classes within. You'll note that the steps class has a few examples. The regex is simpler in JBehave too. Just use replacement var names (and JBehave itself makes the actual regex). You might like to fork that project as a starting point :) - Paul On Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 10:37 AM, Bradley, Todd <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, I’m a new user of JBehave.
