Gherkin Executor for C#

The Gherkin Executor for C# converts Gherkin files into unit tests.

See the full documentation at GitHub - atdd-bdd/GherkinExecutorBase: This is the base for Gherkin Executor containing Documentation and Examples

You can see an example of a featurex file at:

https://github.com/atdd-bdd/GherkinExecutorForCSharp/blob/main/GherkinExecutor/examples.featurex

The generated code, as well as the altered glue file are in this directory:: [

GherkinExecutorForCSharp/GherkinExecutor/Feature_Examples at main · atdd-bdd/GherkinExecutorForCSharp · GitHub

This documents the setup required for C#. It assumes you have some experience with running unit tests in Visual Studio.

Setup

• Create a MSTest or NUnit test project (or you can use an existing test project)

•  Add a folder: GherkinExecutor

• Go to GitHub - atdd-bdd/GherkinExecutorForCSharp Into GherkinExecutor folder: Download translate.cs GherkinExecutorForCSharp/Translaste.cs at main · atdd-bdd/GherkinExecutorForCSharp · GitHub Download starting.featurex GherkinExecutorForCSharp/GherkinExecutor/starting.featurex at main · atdd-bdd/GherkinExecutorForCSharp · GitHub

• In the GherkinExecutor folder, create a features.txt file that contains

starting.featurex 

        In the same folder, create a options.txt file that is empty

• Edit the csproj file for the project.

        Add a line in the PropertyGroup

    <StartupObject>GherkinExecutorForCSharp.Translate</StartupObject>

• Change the test framework, if necessary, in Translate.cs

  public static readonly string TestFramework = "MSTest";
  // Could be "NUnit" 

• Run the program. When it has executed:

        Go to the Feature_Starting_glue folder

        Rename Feature_Starting_glue.tmpl to Feature_Starting_glue.cs

       Set the Build Action to C# Compiler for this file

• Now Run Tests

        You should get one failure on Feature_Starting

At this point, you can implement the production code to make the test pass.

If you add a Scenario to the feature file, you need to rerun Translate. If you add new steps, you need to copy the new glue code from the glue tmpl file to the glue cs fie.

If you want to compare two lists of objects, you can use the following. Replace ClassName with the actual data class: bool result = expectedList.SequenceEqual(actualList, new ClassName.ClassNameComparer()); Console.WriteLine("SequenceEqual: " + result);
