To answer your question more specifically: there is no problem in using as many steps classes you want for a single story, as a matter of fact is a recommended practice to not have a single class or a class hierarchy.

In your case, it should suffice to add the PerStoryWebDriverSteps to your steps factory to have the WebDriver initialised before each story.

Then you define your other steps independently - i.e. no need to inherit from it.

Hi Roy,

this information is not sufficient for us to help you.

As already noted in https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JBEHAVE-810 there is a working tutorial available at

http://jbehave.org/tutorials.html

and an archetype that you can use

http://jbehave.org/reference/web/stable/archetypes.html

Note that JBehave Web provides the WebDriverProvider interface to instantiate the WebDriver and is typically per scenario, story or stories, e.g.

org.jbehave.web.selenium.PerStoryWebDriverSteps

I like to organize my steps in multiple class files. (because we have many steps in our application)

Question is: how can we use the steps from multiple step definition classes to execute a single story.

I use webdriver, I tried the following:

BaseClass.java
Instantiates the driver and opens the browser.

LoginSteps.java inherit from BaseClass.java
steps to login in application

SearchSteps.java inherit from BaseClass.java
Verify is elements is present.
BUT here is my driver instance suddenly null.

I think it has something to do with the way I execute my tests:
@Override
public InjectableStepsFactory stepsFactory() { return new InstanceStepsFactory(configuration(), new LoginSteps(), new searchPageSteps()); }

Please tell what other information you need or what I have to do differently.
Thanks
