Words should have meanings
--------------------------
Key: JBEHAVE-196
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JBEHAVE-196
Project: JBehave
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 2.3
Reporter: Rickard Oberg
In general, words should have meanings. For JBehave, if I use the annotations
@Given, @When and @Then, they should mean different things. Right now there is
no difference, which can lead to very confusing behaviour.
Example:
@Given("foo named $name")
public void givenFoo(String name) {...}
@When("foo named $name is created")
public void createFoo{...}
If I have a scenario like this:
Scenario: Do stuff
Given xyz
When foo named Bar is created
...
then the "When" can match the givenFoo() method, which gets passed "Bar is
created" as parameter.
This unexpected behaviour, due to words not having any meaning, causes
randomness in test execution. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It
would be better if the different annotations had separate meanings, so that
when I write Given/When/Then in the scenarios they will match corresponding
@Given/@When/@Then methods.
