Introduction
In this post, we will write the Step class for the Calculator JBehave story.( Writing Simple JBehave Story . The easiest way to create the step class with a dummy skeleton is from the story itself.
Generate Steps
Right-click on the story in Project Explorer in Eclipse IDE. Go to JBehave > Generate Steps as shown in the below picture.
Complete path
Project Explorer >> JBehave Story >> Right click >> JBehave >> Generate Steps.
Write Step class for a story
package com.testingdocs.jbehave;
import org.jbehave.core.annotations.*;
import junit.framework.Assert;
public class AddSteps{
int i, j , result ;
@BeforeScenario
public void allClear()
{
i =0 ;
j =0 ;
result = 0 ;
}
@Given("numbers i and j")
public void givenNumbersToAdd()
{
i= 5;
j = 10;
}
@When("we add them")
public void whenWeAdd()
{
result = i + j ;
}
@Then("verify the sum")
public void thenVerifyTheSum()
{
Assert.assertEquals("Sample Assert", 15, result);
}
@When("we subtract i from j")
public void whenWeSubtract()
{
result = j - i ;
}
@Then("verify the difference")
public void thenVerifyTheDifference()
{
Assert.assertEquals("Sample Assert", 5, result);
}
}
We can check the linking of the corresponding method, by clicking on the story gherkin line. You will be landed on the method provided if there is a valid method that matches. While writing stories, if some are common across the stories/scenarios we can move them to say CommonSteps for better maintainability and readability of code.
