Serenity data driven scenarios with SerenityStories

[Francisco Dominguez]

Hello,

I have been using serenity for a couple of weeks now. I am using it with the jbehave integration/plug-in.

I have several stories that have parameters in the stories but I wanted these parameters to be loaded from a file (or an external resource) it there a way to do that other then using SerenityParameterizedRunner. Using the SerenityParameterizedRunner seems to separate the test class from the *.story file since I need to call the steps in order in the test.

I see that jbehave allows for loading parameters from a external resource:

http://jbehave.org/reference/stable/parametrised-scenarios.html

But I was wondering how to accomplish this in the context of using serenity.

If anyone could provide me some guidance it would be much appreciated.

thanks in advance,
francisco

Wohoo, i figured it out and it is quite simple:

I did the following
1. Added additional dir to src/test/resources so now that folder contains 2 folders
- stories
   - sample.story
- tables
    - sample.table
------------------------------------

and then in the story just add like this:


Scenario: ORD-SEB-011 Search for a specific Order by MSISDN
Given the user is on the Search Batch page
When the user tries to search for batches with MSISDN '<msisdn>'
Then the user should see a single search result with params orderId '<order_id>', type '<order_type>'

Examples:
tables/sample.table

------
and sample table looks like this:

|order_id     |order_type              ||msisdn        |
|123            |TEST ORDER        |1234567890 |
