[Cucumber-JVM] How to obtain reference to scenario object in step definitions

[Yogesh Aggarwal]

Currently we have a reference to Scenario object in @After hook only.

Can we have a reference to this static Scenario object in my step definition class (other than @After hook) so that I use Scenario.write in any of my step definition class?

Thanks!

I wouldn't do that, there is a new instance created before each scenario, and holding on to old ones in static fields is guaranteed to mess things up.

Any class that defines an @After hook can get a reference to the Scenario passed in. Why don't you just add an @After to each class that needs a ref to the Scenario?

Thanks!

Can we have multiple @After hooks?
If yes, then do all of them execute after then scenario? How do we get a control of their execution?

Yes

Yes, all of them will run after the scenario.

 

How do we get a control of their execution?

Via the order attribute. See the Javadocs.

http://cukes.info/api/cucumber/jvm/javadoc/cucumber/api/java/Before.html

http://cukes.info/api/cucumber/jvm/javadoc/cucumber/api/java/After.html

I just realised the stylesheets are broken, so it's a little hard to read. I have created a ticket for that: https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-jvm/issues/457
