I debugged it and as it seems, this method does not work as I would expect it: org.jbehave.core.steps.StepCreator.ParameterisedStep.parametriseStep()
The "org.jbehave.core.annotations.Named" annotation supports only one value. But in my use cases I need two values: "creditAccount" and "debitAccount". What if you support using an regular expression for the @Named annotation instead of allowing just one value? That could be one way to solve it. The method "ParameterisedStep.parametriseStep()" would need to be adapted accordingly to support that logic. 2014-02-07 Hans Schwäbli <[email protected]>: > Hello Mauro, > > I took the time to create an example project for Eclipse so that you can > reproduce it. > > I attached the zip file to this email.
