Crockpot

A very simple templater for Cucumber files, using mustache.

Installation

As per standard npm installs...

npm i cucumber-crockpot -D

Change -D to -S is this is not a devDependency.

Import to your project as follows:

const crockpot = require('cucumber-crockpot');

File format

A .crock file is merely a valid .feature file with some templated contents using mustache.

An example file might look like:

@{{name}}
Feature: {{nameCapital}} Display

  Scenario: Buying {{indefiniteArticle}} {{name}}

    Given we have 50 {{namePlural}}
    When we sell {{indefiniteArticle}} {{name}}
    Then we receieve {{price}}
    And we have 49 {{namePlural}} remaining

with a paired .view.json file as such:

[
    {
        "name": "apple",
        "namePlural": "apples",
        "indefiniteArticle": "an",
        "nameCapital": "Apple",
        "price": "$0.76"
    },
    {
        "name": "banana",
        "namePlural": "bananas",
        "indefiniteArticle": "a",
        "nameCapital": "Banana",
        "price": "$0.16"
    },
    {
        "name": "currant",
        "namePlural": "currants",
        "indefiniteArticle": "a",
        "nameCapital": "Currant",
        "price": "$0.06"
    },
    {
        "name": "durian",
        "namePlural": "durians",
        "indefiniteArticle": "a",
        "nameCapital": "Durian",
        "price": "$1.56"
    }
]

NOTE: the name property is the lone required part of a any given view item, must be unique, and valid for use in a filename.

And this would result in .feature files like this:

@apple
Feature: Apple Display

  Scenario: Buying an apple

    Given we have 50 apples
    When we sell an apple
    Then we receieve $0.76
    And we have 49 apples remaining

API

Currently, only two functions are exposed:

  • parse: Takes an object with two properties: crock and view, each are paths to their respective files. Each view item must have a unique name property that will be used to generate .feature file names.
  • setFeaturePath: This changes the path for exporting resulting .feature files to whatever path you provide. Without using this, the default is the ./features folder in your project.

Example use of API

This example will take a ./crockpots/ directory, that contains a folder for each featureset, and process every .crock & .view.js file.

const crockpot = require('cucumber-crockpot');
const { readdirSync, statSync } = require('fs');
const { join } = require('path');

const dirs = p =>
    readdirSync(p).filter(f => statSync(join(p, f)).isDirectory());

const crockpots = dirs('./crockpots/');

crockpot.setFeaturePath('./product-features/');

crockpots.map(pot =>
    crockpot.parse({
        crock: `./crockpots/${pot}/${pot}.crock`,
        view: `./crockpots/${pot}/${pot}.view.json`
    })
);

Recommendations

Since the crock files are the "source of truth" for your Cucumber tests when using it, I recommend you have Crockpot export its files into a directory not tracked by Git or any source control systems. As long as you keep your crock & view files, you can always regenerate these files.

Roadmap

I don't currently foresee adding any more complexity to the .crock file beyond how it is for now, but I am open to suggestions.

Development

Source is written in TypeScript. Run tests via npm run test.
