Re: [jbehave-dev] Override step in Jbehave

You could convert it from your own file format using a table transformer.

I thought about parametrized scenarios option to read table values from a file but then looks like we need to create external resource file in table format and maintain. Is there any way we can read from our existing data source (file or database) directly without converting to table format?

Hi,

Sorry but I had misunderstood the usecase, the report will show the original textual value.

What you might consider is parametrised scenarios, where the values are replaced at the each execution. The table values can be read from a file.

If you can provide a simplified example of your usecase we can add it our core examples.

Cheers

    Mauro,

    I tried just simple String conversion using @AsParameterConverter
    (haven’t created ErrorCode type yet) . It is returning converted
    string fine but I don’t see converted string in HTML report.
    Report still showing original string from feature file in report.
    How can I replace converted string in report?

    Thanks,

    Nikunj

    Here's an example of dynamic lookup via a parameter converter method:

    
https://github.com/jbehave/jbehave-core/blob/master/examples/core/src/main/java/org/jbehave/examples/core/steps/TraderSteps.java

    Look for:

    publicTrader retrieveTrader(Stringname);

        Can you please guide to the example (if any)?

        Hi,

        thanks for explaining your scenario.  In this case, a custom
        ErrorMessage type and a custom converter that looks up the
        translation in a file or database would seem your best option.

        Let use know if you encounter problems in its implementation.

        Cheers

            HI,

            This is one the option we are thinking for i18n testing.

            I know JBehave have i18n testing example but we don’t want
            to convert entire story file in language we supporting. We
            only want to convert labels and messages in different
            language and test and keep everything in English. We are
            planning to have converted text in multiple languages
            available in files (key/values) or database.

            Using below example, error message or label “abc” will be
            in English, then using language files we convert values to
            appropriate language(language set in
            application.properties) before do compare with actual
            value. Now, we want to include this converted text in the
            HTML report.

            One other option I was thinking to these message in story
            example template and use meta filter but there are so many
            and we don’t want to maintain in feature file.

            What do you suggest we should do to test this kind of
            scenario?

            Thanks,

            Nikunj

            It's possible if you define your own custom converter, but
            it should be associated to a custom parameter type, e.g.
            ErrorCode.

            Then you implement the value conversion logic in the
            parameter converter.

            That said, it does not really seem very logical to do
            this.   What's your usecase?

                Hi,

                Is there any way in Jbehave we can override step with
                converted parameter values?

                Here is what I am trying to do:

                For Example:

                I have step in feature file- Then error message “abc”
                should be displayed.

                Let’s see I am converting  string from “abc”  to “xyz”.

                Now, I want to override feature file step with
                converted value and see HTML report like-  Then error
                message “xyz” should be displayed.

                Thanks,
