List,

Quick question about Cucumber/Gherkin.

I'm considering adding 'With' as a step definition to support scenarios like:

Given a policy
With a PCF practice state
And a secondary risk
...

I'm fairly new to ruby - but I can't quite get this one figured out. I've tried adding

Cucumber.alias_steps (['With'])

To my features/support/env.rb file, but when I run cucumber, I still get a Syntax error. It looks like my 'with' never gets added to the original list.

Unfortunately, this only aliases the ruby methods (this will let you call With /some step/ do..end in a step definition ruby file. In order to make the plain text parser recognise other words, a change is needed in languages.yml.

If you add a feature request in Lighthouse I'll see if I can add it.

I'm not sure if I like this - dependency between steps seems like a dodgy road to go down.

When you're in a step definition, how would you know what object the 'With' was referring to?


Good question Matt. Let's clarify this first. Maybe there is a better way to express this with the current language.
