在JBehave方案中步骤失败后继续执行

Question

I am using Selenium Webdriver with JBehave. My Jbehave Story contains few scenarios with some repetitive steps as shown in the below steps and I have created a common function to execute them.

Scenario: 25. Validate Column from Database 
Given I open application URL 
And I login with username "username1" and password "password1"
Then I validate the "column1" from database
Then I validate the "column2" from database
Then I validate the "column3" from database
Then I Logout of the Portal

This is my common function to validate the column from database

@Then("I validate the \"$column\" from database")
public void validateColumnFromDB(String column)
{
    if(column.equals("column1"))
       getColumnFromDB(propertiesConfiguration.getString("column1"));
    else if(column.equals("column2"))
       getColumnFromDB(propertiesConfiguration.getString("column2"));
    else if (column.equals("column3"))
       getColumnFromDB(propertiesConfiguration.getString("column3"));
}

I used Junit ErrorCollector() but after execution, JBehave says "All the tests passed" even though there are some failures and the ErrorCollector() collected them. Atleast JBehave should say some steps failed.

My question is I want to continue the execution in JBehave even after validaiton of any one of the column fails (ony one of Step mentioned in Scenario).

Thanks for your help

Answer 1

I would do cheking all of columns in a single step, in this way:

Scenario: 25. Validate Column from Database 

Given I open application URL 
Then I validate the following columns: "column1,column2,column3" from database

---

@Then("I validate the following columns: \"$columns\" from database")
public void then_i_walidate_columns_from_databale( List<String> columns){
    String columnsWithError = "";
    boolean validationResult = true;
    for( String column : columns){
        boolean validationResultOfCurrentColumn = ( null != getColumnFromDB(column));
        validationResult &= validationResultOfCurrentColumn;
        if( ! validationResultOfCurrentColumn ){
            columnsWithError += column + " ";
        }
    }
    Assert.assertTrue("The following columns don't pass the validation: " + columnsWithError, validationResult);
}

Answer 2

Are you throwing an exception in a JBehave step when an error occurs? JBehave relies on knowing there is an error by your thrown exception. I'm wondering whether the ErrorCollector is consuming your thrown exceptions therefore your errors are not reaching JBehave, hence JBehave thinks there are no errors.

By default, the story runners are configured to fail-fast , ie the execution will stop at first failed story (but will complete execution of the all the scenarios in the story first). To allow the generation of a complete stories view (reporting how many stories failed), the runners need to be enabled to run stories with ignoreFailureInStories flag set to true .
