Not ignoring failures in GivenStories

Capturing ScreenShots on failure

Is there an easy way to hook into step failures to capture screen 
shots?  We are running JBehave 3.5.4.

How to make Surefire to see embedder-based tests as JUnit tests?

Hi,

I would like to have a JBehave tests run via maven surefire plugin as the simple JUnit tests. By default
surefire doesn't recognize my test classes as JUnit tests. In case of extending JUnitStory/Stories I
could override run method and add @Test annotation, but what can I do using embedder-based method like below?

@RunWith(SpringAnnotatedPathRunner.class)
@Configure
@UsingEmbedder
@UsingSpring(resources = {...})
@UsingPaths
public class MyStoriesTest {
}

Regards
Marcin

Parameterizing GivenStories for repeating Examples

Absence of action as action?

I often encounter a strange issue that our developers comment on.
Can the absence of action be used as an action?
Shouldn't the scenario be re-written if that is the case?

An example:

Upload of data to a device that is configurable to close the file if the 
connection is idle for X seconds.

Scenario: File is closed or remains open depending on duration of 
idle-time
Given device configured with idle-time 5 seconds
And connection is active
When connection is idle for <idle> seconds
Then file is <file-state>

Examples:
| idle | file-state |
| 4    | open      |
| 6    | closed    |

But obviously, the When is not "really" an action as such.

So, shouldn't it be re-phrased so the action is the change in state, 
instead of the duration of a certain state?

How do others deal with this issue - is it even an issue?

Unable to run GivenStories

I'm trying to use the GivenStories feature of jbehave-core-3.5.1 but the
story using it always shows as pending. My story runs fine when not using
GivenStories and including the steps directly in the story. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

My story:

In order to try out the magnum product,
As a potential customer,
I want to be able to register for a test drive account.

Scenario: successfully registers for test drive

GivenStory: register_for_test_drive.task

Meta:
@type positive
@component test-drive
@suite acceptance
@level 1

My story has no steps as I just want to call the GivenStory steps, in the
same directory I have register_for_test_drive.task with a simple step as
follows:

Given the user opens the testdrive-registration web page

Here is how my stories are configured: TestDriveStories.java

package com.symantec.automation.testdrive.stories;

public class TestDriveStories extends JUnitStories {

private WebDriverProvider driverProvider = new PropertyWebDriverProvider();
  private WebDriverSteps lifecycleSteps = new
PerStoryWebDriverSteps(driverProvider);
  private Pages pages = new Pages(driverProvider);
  private SeleniumContext context = new SeleniumContext();
  private ContextView contextView = new LocalFrameContextView().sized(500,
100);

  public TestDriveStories() {

configuredEmbedder().useExecutorService(MoreExecutors.sameThreadExecutor())
;
    configuredEmbedder().useMetaFilters(asList("-ignore"));
    configuredEmbedder().embedderControls()
        .doIgnoreFailureInStories(true)
        .doIgnoreFailureInView(false)
        .doGenerateViewAfterStories(true);
  }

  public Configuration configuration() {
    Class<? extends Embeddable> embeddableClass = this.getClass();
    return new SeleniumConfiguration()
        .useSeleniumContext(context)
        .useWebDriverProvider(driverProvider)
        .useStepMonitor(new SeleniumStepMonitor(contextView, context, new
SilentStepMonitor()))
        .useStoryLoader(new LoadFromClasspath(embeddableClass))
        .useStoryReporterBuilder(new StoryReporterBuilder()
            .withRelativeDirectory("reports/tests/functional/jbehave")
            .withCodeLocation(codeLocationFromClass(embeddableClass))
            .withDefaultFormats()
.withFormats(CONSOLE, WebDriverHtmlOutput.WEB_DRIVER_HTML));
  }

  public InjectableStepsFactory stepsFactory() {
    Configuration configuration = configuration();
    return new InstanceStepsFactory(configuration,
        new TestDriveSteps(pages),
        lifecycleSteps,
        new WebDriverScreenshotOnFailure(driverProvider,
configuration.storyReporterBuilder()));
  }

  protected List<String> storyPaths() {
    return new StoryFinder()
        .findPaths(codeLocationFromClass(this.getClass()).getFile(),
asList("**/*.story"), null);
  }

  // This Embedder is used by Maven or Ant and it will override anything
set in the constructor
  public static class SameThreadEmbedder extends Embedder {
    public SameThreadEmbedder() {
      useExecutorService(MoreExecutors.sameThreadExecutor());
    }
  }

}

Re: jbehave with testng

Pull latest trader example and you'll find a TestNGTraderStories class 
which you can run via TestNG.

Can I reuse stories with two different implementations?

I am using JBehave in a project where we test http requests to web 
services.  This has worked beautifully so far.  Now the team is 
introducing a new front end using JMS.  It is designed to work as a 
secondary front end to the existing web services.

For example, a customer can post a request directly to the web service 
via http GET or POST, or alternatively submit a message to the JMS 
service, which then will submit an http GET or POST to the web service. 
  The JMS service gives us the ability to prioritize and 
pre/post-process requests, which is why it is being introduced.

I built the tests so that we have a collection of story files & a single 
steps file.  The steps file includes the following:

public class StepsFile {
     MyService service;
     ServiceBuilder serviceBuilder;
     [a collection of @Given, @When, @Then methods]
}

The ServiceBuilder generates the service object at the appropriate time 
during testing.  'service' is then queried for results (within @Then steps).

Now that we need to handle two variations of MyService (http and JMS), 
can I configure JBehave to run thru the same stories twice, but 
injecting different versions of ServiceBuilder in to the StepsFile class 
for each iteration?  Is there a better way to handle this kind of 
implementation variation?

Examples report formatting in 3.5.4

The HTML reporting format for example tables appears to have an issue in 
3.5.4

This is the output from one example in 3.5.4

      Example: {rule=sum(Money1) = 2501.1, output=true}

Given the data:
Side 	Sign 	Amount 	Currency 	Reference1 	Reference2 	ValueDate 
Money1 	Money2 	Integer1 	Boolean1 	DateTime1 	<br/> 	L 	D 	500 	GBP 
978825 	ALB INC 	01/01/2011 	500.0 GBP 	501.0 GBP 	1 	true 	10/11/2010 
15:23:00 	<br/> 	L 	D 	500 	GBP 	978825 	ALB INC 	03/01/2011 	501.1 
GBP 	502.1 GBP 	1 	true 	10/11/2010 15:23:00 	<br/> 	L 	C 	600 	GBP 
978824 	GHM 	01/01/2009 	700.0 GBP 	
	2 	false 	10/11/2010 15:23:00 	<br/> 	L 	C 	600 	GBP 	978824 	GHM 
01/01/2011 	300.0 GBP 	300.01 GBP 	2 	false 	10/11/2010 15:23:00 
<br/> 	L 	C 	700 	GBP 	REF978825 	ALB INC 	10/11/2010 	500 GBP 	499.76 
GBP 	3 	true 	10/11/2010 15:23:00 	<br/> 	L 	C 	800 	GBP 	978825REF 
IBM 	02/03/2010 	
	
	4 	true 	10/11/2010 15:23:00

And the rulesum(Money1) = 2501.1
When the rule is executed
Then the result should betrue

and the corresponding output from 3.4.3.....

      Example: {rule=sum(Money1) = 2501.1, output=true}

Given the data:
Side 	Sign 	Amount 	Currency 	Reference1 	Reference2 	ValueDate 
Money1 	Money2 	Integer1 	Boolean1 	DateTime1
L 	D 	500 	GBP 	978825 	ALB INC 	01/01/2011 	500.0 GBP 	501.0 GBP 	1 
true 	10/11/2010 15:23:00
L 	D 	500 	GBP 	978825 	ALB INC 	03/01/2011 	501.1 GBP 	502.1 GBP 	1 
true 	10/11/2010 15:23:00
L 	C 	600 	GBP 	978824 	GHM 	01/01/2009 	700.0 GBP 	
	2 	false 	10/11/2010 15:23:00
L 	C 	600 	GBP 	978824 	GHM 	01/01/2011 	300.0 GBP 	300.01 GBP 	2 
false 	10/11/2010 15:23:00
L 	C 	700 	GBP 	REF978825 	ALB INC 	10/11/2010 	500 GBP 	499.76 GBP 	3 
true 	10/11/2010 15:23:00
L 	C 	800 	GBP 	978825REF 	IBM 	02/03/2010 	
	
	4 	true 	10/11/2010 15:23:00

And the rulesum(Money1) = 2501.1
When the rule is executed
Then the result should betrue

Looks like the line breaks are formatted incorrectly? Or is there 
something to change to make it compatible with 3.5.4?

Reporting failures per example in parametrized tests while running with JUnit runner

Hi,

Using AnnotatedPathRunner/SpringAnnotatedPathRunner I was able to get JUnit test per story, which is
much more friendly than one big "run" test. I know I have nice looking JBehave report, but I wonder is it be
possible to get reporting per example in parametrized tests (something looking like in JUnitParams -
http://wiki.junitparams.googlecode.com/hg/images/test.png ) to receive instant report in IDE/CI
treating JBehave tests as JUnit tests?

Regards
Marcin
