[jbehave-user] Question about JBehave, steps, Spring and dao interaction

[Julien Martin]

Hello,

I am new to JBehave and BDD. I would like to know whether it is right (from
a BDD point of view) for steps to interact with the database via a
dao/repository.

If that is the case, how can I alter the configuration below so that I can
inject/autowire Spring dependencies into my steps?

Regards,

Julien.

Configuration is show below:

*public class KadjoukorWebStories extends JUnitStories {

    private WebDriverProvider driverProvider = new
PropertyWebDriverProvider();
    private WebDriverSteps lifecycleSteps = new
PerStoriesWebDriverSteps(driverProvider); // or

                // PerStoryWebDriverSteps(driverProvider)
    private Pages pages = new Pages(driverProvider);
    private SeleniumContext context = new SeleniumContext();
    private ContextView contextView = new
LocalFrameContextView().sized(500, 100);

    public KadjoukorWebStories() {
        // If configuring lifecycle per-stories, you need to ensure that
you a
        // same-thread executor
        if (lifecycleSteps instanceof PerStoriesWebDriverSteps) {

configuredEmbedder().useExecutorService(MoreExecutors.sameThreadExecutor());
        }
    }

    @Override
    public Configuration configuration() {
        Class<? extends Embeddable> embeddableClass = this.getClass();
        return new SeleniumConfiguration()
                .useSeleniumContext(context)
                .useWebDriverProvider(driverProvider)
                .useStepMonitor(new SeleniumStepMonitor(contextView,
context, new SilentStepMonitor()))
                .useStoryLoader(new LoadFromClasspath(embeddableClass))
                .useStoryReporterBuilder(
                        new
StoryReporterBuilder().withCodeLocation(codeLocationFromClass(embeddableClass)).withDefaultFormats()
                                .withFormats(CONSOLE, TXT, HTML, XML));
    }

    @Override
    public InjectableStepsFactory stepsFactory() {
        Configuration configuration = configuration();
        return new InstanceStepsFactory(configuration, new
KadjoukorWebSteps(pages), lifecycleSteps, new
WebDriverScreenshotOnFailure(driverProvider,
                configuration.storyReporterBuilder()));
    }

    @Override
    protected List<String> storyPaths() {
        return new
StoryFinder().findPaths(codeLocationFromClass(this.getClass()).getFile(),
asList("**/*.story"), null);
    }

    // This Embedder is used by Maven or Ant and it will override anything
set
    // in the constructor
    public static class SameThreadEmbedder extends Embedder {
        public SameThreadEmbedder() {
            useExecutorService(MoreExecutors.sameThreadExecutor());
        }
    }
}*
