NAME

Cucumber::TagExpressions::Node - Cucumber Tag expression components

SYNOPSIS

  use Cucumber::TagExpressions;
  my $expr = Cucumber::TagExpressions->parse( '@a and @b' );
  if ( $expr->evaluate( qw/x y z/ ) ) {
     say "The evaluation returned false";
  }

DESCRIPTION

This module defines the components making up the tag expressions.

METHODS

evaluate( @tags )

Returns "true" when the tag set specified in $tags satisfies the condition(s) of the expression, "false" otherwise.

@tags can be a list of tags to be used in the expression. It can also be a reference to a hash with the keys being the tags and the values being considered boolean values indicating whether the tag (key) is considered part of the tagset (true) or not (false).

stringify

Returns a string representation of the expression node.

This node class type evaluates one or more sub-expressions ("terms") and returns "true" if any of the terms does. It returns "false" if all of the terms return "false".

ATTRIBUTES

terms

Cucumber::TagExpressions::NotNode
