Scenario outline with examples and step definitions

[András Csányi]

Hi All,

I would like to ask some help regarding step definitions and scenario outlines.

I have this scenario outline where I check whether the necessary buttons are displayed or not on a particular field.

Scenario Outline: The grid has CRUD buttons

 Given I am on the homepage

 And I navigate to the "categories" field

 And the grid of the "categories" field is displayed

 When I check the grid buttons

 Then the grid has a button for <Function> rows function

 

 Examples: 

 | Function |

 | Add      |

 | Edit     |

 | Delete   |

 | Find     |

 | Reload   |

If I would like to use the "Generate Step definitions" function then it gives the code below as a step definition for the "Then" part:

        [Then(@"the grid has a button for Add rows function")]

        public void ThenTheGridHasAButtonForAddRowsFunction()

        {

            ScenarioContext.Current.Pending();

        }

However, the example below would be ok as far as I know.

        [Then(@"the grid has a button for ""(.*)"" rows function")]

        public void ThenTheGridHasAButtonForRows(string desiredButton)

        {

            //some code...

        }

If I have the latter and I run the scenario then I can see 5 particular tests in the "Unit test sessions..." field and I get the error message below:

Given I am on the homepage

-> done: NavigationStepDefs.GivenIAmOnTheHomepage() (0.0s)

And I navigate to the "categories" field

-> done: NavigationStepDefs.GivenINavigateToTheField("categories") (12.4s)

And the grid of the "categories" field is displayed

-> done: FieldDisplayingStepDefs.ThenTheGridOfTheFieldIsDisplayed("categories") (0.0s)

When I check the grid buttons

-> done: CheckingStepDefs.WhenICheckTheGridButtons() (0.0s)

Then the grid has a button for Reload rows function

-> No matching step definition found for the step. Use the following code to create one:

        [Then(@"the grid has a button for Reload rows function")]

        public void ThenTheGridHasAButtonForReloadRowsFunction()

        {

            ScenarioContext.Current.Pending();

        }

At the moment I do not have any idea what could be the problem, Can anybody tell me what is wrong with this code?

Thanks for any help in advance!

András

You seem to be missing the quotes ("<Function>") in your feature file since your step definition explicitly expects them: [Then(@"the grid has a button for ""(.*)"" rows function")].
