VERSION

version 0.11

DESCRIPTION

Provides the Given/When/Then functions, and a method for loading Step Definition files and returning the steps.

SYNOPSIS

Defining steps:

 #!perl

 use strict; use warnings; use Test::More;

 use Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepFile;
 use Method::Signatures; # Allows short-hand func method

 Given 'something',          func ($c) { print "YEAH!" }
 When  qr/smooooth (\d+)/,   func ($c) { print "YEEEHAH $1" }
 Then  qr/something (else)/, func ($c) { print "Meh $1" }
 Step  qr/die now/,          func ($c) { die "now" }

Loading steps, in a different file:

 use Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepFile;
 my @steps = Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepFile->load('filename_steps.pl');

EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

Given

When

Then

Step

Accept a regular expression or string, and a coderef. Some cute tricks ensure that when you call the load() method on a file with these statements in, these are returned to it...

load

Loads a file containing step definitions, and returns a list of the steps defined in it, of the form:

 (
  [ 'Given', qr/abc/, sub { etc } ],
  [ 'Step',  'asdf',  sub { etc } ]
 )
