是否可以从JSON文件传递Cucumber功能中的参数值？

Question

We have current framework in Jbehave where we have large number of test data stored in JSON file and using Parameterconverter to pass value to JBehave stories based on specific environment. I am working on switching framework to Cucumber and wondering if I can use same JSON files or not

Answer 1

Cucumber dosen't support data out side the feature file or from external file . What you are looking for is supported with qaf by use of json data provider . With QAF your scenario can look like below:

@dataFile:resources/${env}/data/logintestdata.json
Scenario: example
    Given use is on login page
    When login using '${username}' and '${password}'
    And store into 'status'
    Then verify that '${status}' is '${isvalid}'
    And verify error message '${expected_msg}'

In above example, value of ${env} in data file path can be provided at the time of execution in different ways .This is just as an example. There can be other alternative ways by using different features of qaf depending on need.
