Test Scopes

While Autometa can be run entirely with Global steps, it may be desireable to provide specific implementations for some scenarios. For example, step texts that have high potential for conflict due to same text but different intended behavior, or scenarios which have edge cases for the same text.

The available groups are Feature, Rule and ScenarioOutline with the test type being Scenario.

By default, Autometa will assemble all rules, scenarios and outlines from global steps, but they can be explicitely overwritten. When overwritten, not every step in that group needs to be defined. If there are 5 steps, and 4 are valid global steps, then only one step need be defined in the test group.

import {
  Feature,
  Rule,
  ScenarioOutline,
  Scenario,
  Pass,
} from "@autometa/cucumber-runner";

Feature(() => {
  Scenario("override this scenario", () => {
    Given("override this specific step", Pass);
  });
  Rule("override this rule", () => {
    ScenarioOutline("override this scenarioOutline", () => {
      Given("a step unique to this outline", Pass);
    });
  });
}, "./my-feature.ts");
