Szczepan Faber commented on JBEHAVE-312:
----------------------------------------
+1
I don't use jBehave in anger (however, I do use other tool that is very similar
and I would like to move to jbehave). I cannot imagine a use case when I want
the regexp groups to be greedy. Again, I'm a newbie so don't listen to me too
much...
> Configuration option for non-greedy matchers for steps
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JBEHAVE-312
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JBEHAVE-312
> Project: JBehave
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.5
> Reporter: James Ravn
>
> The biggest sore point for my team are the greedy reg-ex matchers for step
> prose.
> This was somewhat solved in another ticket which added a {{priority}} field
> to the annotation.
> However, this does not scale well with a large amount of steps. It's
> unmanageable, and a bit ugly, to have to worry about a global priority number.
> This problem would be best fixed if the reg-ex matcher was simply non-greedy.
> A usable solution, I think, would be to provide a configuration option in the
> StepsConfiguration to enable this.
> (On a side note, you may want to consider moving to a feature rich templating
> language like velocity).
