cucumber-enhancement

Enhances cucumber.js to make it easier to interact between steps.

Simple usage

• Create a file features/step_definitions/world-enhance.js as follows

const {setWorldConstructor} = require('cucumber');

setWorldConstructor(require('cucumber-enhancement'));

This modifies the World object to do the following:

• Write attributes for later retrieval:

Given(/^I am on the "([^/"]*)\/([^"]*)" repository on GitHub$/, function (owner, repo) {
    // This saves owner and repo for use in other steps
    this.setAttributes({
        owner,
        repo
    });
});

• Read attributes from previous steps:

Then(/^I should see "([^"]*)" as one of the branches$/, function (branch) {
    const data = this.getAttributes({
        branches: this.joi.array()
    });

    // data.branches contains data saved from another step
    expect(data.branches).to.contain(branch);
});

• Exposes joi interface for quick access during step definition (see above).
