man Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepFile (3): Functions for creating and loading Step Definitions

VERSION

version 0.50

DESCRIPTION

Provides the Given/When/Then functions, and a method for loading Step Definition files and returning the steps.

SYNOPSIS

Defining steps:

#!perl
use strict; use warnings; use Test::More;
use Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepFile;
Given 'something', sub { print "YEAH!" }
When qr/smooooth (\d+)/, sub { print "YEEEHAH $1" }
Then qr/something (else)/, sub { S->{'match'} = $1 }
Step qr/die now/, sub { die "now" }
Transform qr/^(\d+)$/, sub { int $1 }
Before sub { setup_db() }
After sub { teardown() }

Loading steps, in a different file:

 use Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepFile;
 my @steps = Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepFile->load('filename_steps.pl');

EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

Given

When

Then

Step

Transform

Before

After

Accept a regular expression or string, and a coderef. Some cute tricks ensure that when you call the "load()" method on a file with these statements in, these are returned to it...

C

S

Return the context and the Scenario stash, respectively, but only when called inside a step definition.

load

Loads a file containing step definitions, and returns a list of the steps defined in it, of the form:

 (
  [ 'Given', qr/abc/, sub { etc } ],
  [ 'Step',  'asdf',  sub { etc } ]
 )
