Running JBehave Stories : JUnitStory and JUnitStories
JUnitStory
In this post, we will discuss running JBehave stories with JUnitStory / JUnitStories. It is a JUnit runnable entry-point to run a single story specified by a Embeddable class. JUnitStory is an abstract class and extends ConfigurableEmbedder.
public abstract class JUnitStory extends ConfigurableEmbedder { ….
JUnitStories
JUnit-runnable entry-point to run multiple stories specified by storyPaths(). It is similar to JUnitStory class.
public abstract class JUnitStories extends ConfigurableEmbedder { …..
The difference between the two is how they run Stories using the below statement:
embedder.runStoriesAsPaths(….);
run() method
To run the stories, we can either extend the abstract implementation of ConfigurableEmbedder, which does not implement the run() method, or JUnitStory/JUnitStories. These classes implement run() using JUnit’s @Test annotation. However, we can also override these implementations of the run() method.
Sample code snippet
@RunWith(value=AnnotatedEmbedderRunner.class)
@UsingEmbedder(embedder=Embedder.class)
@Configure( storyReporterBuilder=MyReporter.class, storyLoader=MyStoryLoader.class)
@UsingSteps(instances={ MyStorySteps.class })
public class MyCustomStories extends JUnitStories {
@Test
@Override
public void run() throws Throwable {
// finding stories and running them
}
}
AnnotatedEmbedderRunner
AnnotatedEmbedderRunner is a JUnit Runner that uses the AnnotationBuilder to create an embeddable test instance.
public class AnnotatedEmbedderRunner extends BlockJUnit4ClassRunner {…..
AnnotationBuilder is a class that allows the building of Configuration, CandidateSteps, and Embedder from an annotated class as shown in above code snippet annotations.
