@Before and @After annotations are useful for technical tasks but have the drawbacks of not being visible to the business (nor to the team, at least not as visible).

I think having an optional GivenStories at story level as well as at scenario level is possible and fully backward compatible.

Hi,

what about having a method annotated with @BeforeStories or @BeforeScenario?

    Hi Jorge,

    I hope i understood your problem well.
    Why don't u just say:

    Scenario: User logs in and perform action A
    Given Stories: baseLogin.story

    Some action A steps

    Scenario: Lodged on user can also perform action B

    Some action B steps

    ....and so on

    I somehow had/have similar problems caused by the fact that is not
    quite easy to control what to run before all scenarios from that
    story (so before the story) and what do I need to run before each
    scenario. Such a feature would really be handy.

    Cheers,
    Julian

        Hi,

        You are right.  GivenStories apply to a scenario, but to
        satisfy your usecase you need only define a first scenario
        with your desired given story.

        We can discuss the pros and cons of adding it to story level
        as standalone.

        Cheers

        From my testing it seems like GivenStories can only be used
        at the Scenario level and not at the Story level. Is this
        correct?

        If so, I’m a little stuck on my use case. I’m testing a
        webApp and the first thing every Scenario need to do is log
        in. Hence I have a “baseLogin.story” that my scenarios use to
        log in. However, if I call this for every scenario it doesn’t
        work because once you log in once if the session is still
        open the next time you are taken to the login page directly
        so the second scenario on the story fails when the GivenStory
        tries to execute for the second time.

        I was hoping to be able to use “GivenStories” at the story
        level. In this case the GivenStory will execute only once at
        the beginning of any scenario and then all the scenarios in
        the story will execute.

        I was also thinking that I have the option of logging out
        after every scenario (don’t like because is very inefficient)
        or write code that detects if I’m logged in at the
        “baseLogin.story” level (seems bulky and wasteful). Is there
        a more elegant/proper way I’m missing?

        Thanks in advance of the help,

        Enrique
