cucumber6-static-usage v1.2.0

cucumber6-static-usage

Static steps usage reporter for cucumber-js v6.

This reporter is inspired by the built-in usage reporter without limiting the matches to the first five: this reporter gives you the usage for all steps without any limitation, so the generated report might be huge.

To install this steps usage reporter

• run the command:

  npm install --save cucumber6-static-usage

Usage

• add to the cucumber-js command-line the following option:

  --format node_modules/cucumber6-static-usage:steps-usage.txt --dry-run

You should run cucumber-js in dry mode, because this reporter does not handle test execution results and durations.

What it generates

Here is a sample that corresponds to this feature file:

simple-maths.feature:

@foo
Feature: Simple maths
  In order to do maths
  As a developer
  I want to increment variables

Background: Calculator
  Given I have a simple maths calculator

Scenario: easy maths
  Given a variable is set to 11
  When I increment this variable by 1
  Then the variable should contain 12
  When I increment this variable by 2
  Then the variable should contain 14
  When I increment this variable by 2
  Then the variable should contain 16

Scenario Outline: much more complex stuff
  Given a variable is set to <var>
  When I increment this variable by <increment>
  When I increment this variable by 2
  Then the variable should contain <result>
  Examples:
    | var | increment | result |
    | 100 | 5         | 105    |
    | 99  | 1234      | 1333   |
    | 12  | 5         | 17     |

Control the size of the first column of the generated report

The reporter tries to infer a 'best' width for the first column of the report.

In some cases this value may not fit your needs; you can control the width of the first column by setting the environment variable STEPS_USAGE_REPORT_FIRST_COL_WIDTH:

process.env['STEPS_USAGE_REPORT_FIRST_COL_WIDTH'] = 150;
