Mauro Talevi updated JBEHAVE-492:
---------------------------------

    Description: 
In multi-threaded mode, the steps instances need to be instantiated per thread. 

A way to do this is to pass the InjectableStepsFactory to the StoryRunner run 
context and let the context instantiate the candidate steps per thread. 



  was:
public void addSteps(List<Class> steps) {
}

... would be better.

Why?  There's an instance that's made during the setup of a suite (refer 
EtsyStories).  If you are running in multi-threaded mode, that **initial** 
instance is **never** used during the running of scenarios.

In multi-threaded mode, there's a constructor for BasePage that takes a 
WebDriverProvider.  When it is passed in during the primordial instantiation 
phase, no WebDriver has been initialized.  We don't want to do that of course 
because (a) we know this **initial** instance is going to be garbage collected 
and never used, and (b) on SauceLabs at least it would result in browser 
opening in the cloud then closing (or maybe not closing, but never used; I'm 
not sure).

JBehave does not actually need the **initial** instance.  I believe this is 
provable. Instead it could perfectly well use the class definition without the 
instance ref somehow.   

Proposal:  Long overdue, I think, but could for 4.x we shift to using 
class-defs.  Either rework CandidateSteps to hold a Class rather than an 
instance.  Or further do a away (move the logic elsewhere) with CandidateSteps, 
and use the POJO Step's class-def directly.
