Hi,
I have a number of scenarios that are virtually the same apart from
one piece of test data
Scenario: The user is returned search links with expected search
text description
Given a logged in xx user
When clicks 'Advanced Search'
And enters 'Aidy' in the Contributors field
And clicks search
Then the resultant links are displayed with the search text in
each description
So, in the first clause of the When method, I would like to change the
string value.
Is there any way of doing this better than copying and pasting the
above Scenario with one different string value and re-running that
test?
For now, no. There is an idea in the works. For right now, I would
merge some of those steps:
Scenario: display search links
Given I am logged in as David
When I do an Advanced Search for Contributors: 'Aidy'
Then I should see blah de blah
That one When covers the three in the original example, and reads
quite naturally in the domain, no?
In the future you'll be able to do *something* like this:
Scenario: display search links
Given I am logged in as David
When I do an Advanced Search for Contributors: 'Aidy'
Then I should see blah de blah
More Examples:
|User |Query |Result |
|David |Contributors:'David' |RSpec |
|David |Contributors:'Joe' |this or that |
Not exactly sure how that's going to look yet, but it's basically a
FIT-inspired tabular input/output format with the columns bound to the
last Scenario. Coming soon to a workstation near you (but not too soon).
Cheers,
David
