如何在Ruby中的多个项目之间共享一些常见的页面对象和黄瓜步骤定义

Question

We have multiple projects that use some common step definitions and page objects in the cucumber tests. I want to not duplicate such common stuff in each projects but would prefer having a way to share these between multiple projects.

Has anyone done such a thing before?

I am using Ruby.

Answer 1

Shared steps could be packed as gem, and included as a dependency in both projects.

For example, we have a gem named 'common', which contains common.rb:

When(/^I share steps$/) do
  puts "And I do!"
end

Then(/^I should be able to use it from another project$/) do
  puts "seems ok!"
end

Then we could create features/step_definitions/common_steps.rb in every dependent project, which consists of a single line:

require 'common'

Then we just use these shared steps like usual:

Feature: Sample
  Scenario: Sample
    When I share steps
    Then I should be able to use it from another project
