NAME¶

Test::BDD::Cucumber::Executor - Run through Feature and Harness objects

VERSION¶

version 0.31

DESCRIPTION¶

The Executor runs through Features, matching up the Step Lines with Step Definitions, and reporting on progress through the passed-in harness.

METHODS¶

steps¶

add_steps¶

The attributes "steps" is a hashref of arrayrefs, storing steps by their Verb. "add_steps()" takes step definitions of the item list form:

 (
  [ Given => qr//, sub {} ],
 ),

and populates "steps" with them.

execute¶

Execute accepts a feature object, a harness object, and an optional Test::BDD::Cucumber::TagSpec object and for each scenario in the feature which meets the tag requirements (or all of them, if you haven't specified one), runs "execute_scenario".

execute_scenario¶

Accepts a hashref of options, and executes each step in a scenario. Options: "feature" - A Test::BDD::Cucumber::Model::Feature object "feature_stash" - A hashref that should live the lifetime of feature execution "harness" - A Test::BDD::Cucumber::Harness subclass object "scenario" - A Test::BDD::Cucumber::Model::Scenario object "background_obj" - An optional Test::BDD::Cucumber::Model::Scenario object representing the Background "scenario_stash" - We'll create a new scenario stash unless you've posted one in. This is used exclusively for giving Background sections access to the same stash as the scenario they're running before. For each step, a Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepContext object is created, and passed to "dispatch()". Nothing is returned - everything is played back through the Harness interface.

add_placeholders¶

Accepts a text string and a hashref, and replaces " <placeholders" > with the values in the hashref, returning a string.

find_and_dispatch¶

Accepts a Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepContext object, and searches through the steps that have been added to the executor object, executing against the first matching one. You can also pass in a boolean 'short-circuit' flag if the Scenario's remaining steps should be skipped.

dispatch¶

Accepts a Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepContext object, and a Test::BDD::Cucumber::Step object and executes it. You can also pass in a boolean 'short-circuit' flag if the Scenario's remaining steps should be skipped.

skip_step¶

Accepts a step-context, a result-type, and a textual reason, exercises the Harness's step start and step_done methods, and returns a skipped-test result.
