If I need to add a new step implementation method (“wrapper”) for each name that the examples table column might have, then I think it is limiting reuse.
(by making it harder than it need to be, and by making it less maintainable) Cheers From: Alexander Lehmann [mailto:alexl...@gmail.com] Sent: den 19 september 2014 16:45 To: user@jbehave.codehaus.org Subject: Re: [jbehave-user] Parametrised scenario problem Basically it is not limiting reuse, it just requires a 1-line wrapper @Then("should see <message>") public void shouldSeeMsg(@Named("message")String message) { // check text… // check text… // check text… } @Then("should see <message1>") public void shouldSeeMsg1(@Named("message1")String message) { shouldSeeMsg(message); } On Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 4:12 PM, Anders <codeh...@aek.se <mailto:codeh...@aek.se> > wrote: I would argue that this is a serious bug, a bug that has been there for a long time. This strange “lock down” of parameter names when using example tables has annoyed me for a long time. This bug is seriously limiting the reusability of step methods. Is there an issue for this in Jira that we can vote on?

So I just want to implement it once time. Code like: @Then("should see <message>") public void shouldSeeMsg(@Named("message")String message) { // check text… } When running this case, I hope it can match both step “<message1>” and “<message2>”. But the problem is, I found the parameter name in code must be the same with the name specified in scenario. These steps always in PENDING status. Could anyone help to how to solve this? Thanks very much. Best Regards, Ayesha -- Alexander Lehmann <alexl...@gmail.com <mailto:alexl...@gmail.com> > http://about.me/alexlehm
