Passing args when running stories

[Avi Flax]

Hi, I'd like to be able to pass in an arg (for example, a web service
base URL) to
the story runner when running my stories — is that supported today?

Thanks,
Avi

Not directly -- you could pass a system variable i.e. -D and then grab it at runtime in the actual story. Another technique is to tokenize the base URL and replace the token at runtime via Ant/maven, etc with your desired value -- we do this at a client site where the URL changes based upon the environment (test, dev, etc). I suppose you could also use a properties file....

We use a few forms of property files, or just create methods that
abstract out actual functionality and loop over parameters etc. inside
the stories, depending on what we're doing.

Thanks Andrew and Dave! Very helpful.

I'm thinking this feature would make sense — would anyone be
interested in seeing it added to the runner? I might see if I can
tackle it.

Thanks,
Avi

Hi Avi, Andy,

Is there any update on current status of such a feature in easyb?
