Data Tables Line break / Wrap

[N Kuruba]

I am using Geb/Groovy/Spock framework and working on parameterizing my tests with the data tables.

eg. 

where:

            name   |    address   |   occupation

             'John'  |    'London'   |   'Manager'

             'Tom'  |    'Zurich'     |   'Architect'

I have long list of attributes which makes my table row much longer, is there a way to present the data table in parts with a possible line break ?

As the data table goes alongside the code (BDD style) ... it becomes harder to reach to the columns while entering data.

Thanks!

Note that you don’t have to have your parameters inline. You can get them from pretty much anywhere. The spock doc gives an example using a database:

It is very easy to write a custom data provider. Just implement the methods next() and hasNext() (as defined in java.util.Iterator) and optionally size() and close(), and you are ready to go!

And even a spreadsheet is possible:

thanks for your reply, in BDD style I was under the impression that inline tables are the best way of parameterization, in terms of maintainabiity etc.

I may be wrong though, however it would be great if there is a way to break/wrap the inline data table

Thanks.
