Starter project to write and debug cucumber-js v7 features in TypeScript language

After cloning the repo

• run the command npm install.

To execute the tests locally

• run the command npm test.

To choose a reporter

The last reporter/formatter found on the cucumber-js command-line wins:

--format summary --format @cucumber/pretty-formatter --format cucumber-console-formatter

In package.json file, modify the cucumber script to keep only your preferred formatter.

To debug a scenario in Visual Studio Code

• tag the scenario with @debug
• set the breakpoints in the typescript code
• Start debugging

To run only specific scenarios

• tag the scenario(s) with @only
• run the command npm run only.

To ignore a scenario

• tag the scenario with @ignore

To check for typescript, linting and gherkin errors

• run the command npm run build.

To view the steps usage

• run the command npm run steps-usage.

To view the html report of the last run

• run the command npm run report.

To create a new step

• first write the Given/When/Then sentence:

  Given I push "foo" on "bar"

• run the npm script:

  npm run snippets

• the script will report the missing step(s): you just need to copy and paste them in the step definitions file:

  Given('I push {string} on {string}', async function (string, string2) {
    // Write code here that turns the phrase above into concrete actions
    return 'pending';
  });

To use a custom option on the CLI

With cucumber-js v7, you cannot have anymore custom options on the CLI. This is a breaking change with cucumber-js v6.

You must instead use environment variables.

When running your tests localy, you can setup environment variables by customizing the file set-environment-variables.ts.

When running on a CI, you should setup your jobs with the expected environment variables.

To use a custom World Objet

• cutomize the given Custom World Object : custom-world
