Data Driven Test with "Scenario Outlines"

[Sabha]

Hi,

I have a field in the app that accepts a number to authenticate.

I wanted to parametrize different numbers to validate boundary values(mostly the invalid data) 

This is how I did using Scenario Outline and Examples:

 Scenario Outline: Login invalid credentials

  

 Then I enter <phonenumber> into input field number 1

 Then I press "Activate"

 Then I wait for 2 seconds

 Then I clear input field number 1

Examples:

|phonenumber|

|1234580980000|

|123987|

|1244456789|

|9996707999|

But - Calabash is throwing 

  Scenario Outline: Login invalid credentials            # features\1Setbridgeurl_1.feature:19

    Then I enter <phonenumber> into input field number 1 # features\1Setbridgeurl_1.feature:21

    Then I press "Activate"

    Then I wait for 5 seconds                            # calabash-android-0.4.3/lib/calabash-android/steps/progress_steps.rb:14

    Then I clear input field number 1                    # calabash-android-0.4.3/lib/calabash-android/steps/enter_text_steps.rb:17

    Examples:

      | phonenumber   | 

      | 1234580980000 |

      | 123987        |

      | 1244456789    |

      | 9996707999    |

5 scenarios (4 undefined, 1 passed)

28 steps (8 skipped, 8 undefined, 12 passed)

You can implement step definitions for undefined steps with these snippets:

Then /^I enter (\d+) into input field number (\d+)$/ do |arg1, arg2|

  pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you had

end

Then /^I press Activate$/ do

  pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you had

end

Can some one let me know - how can we use 'Scenario Outline' in calabash

or let me know - where I went wrong.

You need to create those 2 steps that the compiler is telling you to

[callahat]

Are you trying to use the steps from calabash-android/calabash_steps? (as in you have "require 'calabash-android/calabash_steps'" in your step definition file)

You might need to double check quotes:

from calabash-android/steps/enter_text_steps.rb:

Then /^I enter "([^\"]*)" into input field number (\d+)$/ do |text, number|

  performAction('enter_text_into_numbered_field',text, number)

end
