wrapping-BDD

This repository contains code which allows cucumber-js BDD framework to be wrapped around a testing tool by means of a custom driver.

Install instructions

1. Download and install nodejs
2. Run : npm install -g yo generator-wrap-bdd cucumber
3. Create a local folder for storing the necessary cucumber-js artifacts : mkdir bdd
4. cd bdd
5. yo wrap-bdd

Collaborator instructions

All source is written using coffee script. In the command prompt of root directory use the following to quickly compile all coffee script source: coffee --compile --output lib/ src/

To wrap cucumber-js BDD with any testing tool, a testtoolfactory.coffee is provided to return an appropriate instance of the test tool driver. When writing the test tool driver, the only two criteria are that the test driver expose a testResult method and test driver emit a testResult event. The testResult method accepts a callback function with a boolean parameter. The 'testResult' event should be emitted when the testing tool has finished and returned result. Following are sample blocks where you will need to make changes when introducing a new test driver:

testtoolfactory.coffee:

createObject: (paramObj) ->
        switch process.env.oletesttool
            when 'TestComplete'
                new tc paramObj
            when 'TestExecute'
                new te paramObj
            else
                throw new TypeError 'Invalid/Unsupported Testing tool. Fix: set oletesttool=TestComplete'

customdriver.coffee

module.exports = class tcdriver extends EventEmitter
    constructor: (paramObj,tool) ->
            # do something and maybe you want to emit the 'testResult' event here
    testresult: (cb)->	
        cb @result
        return

Test scripts

Still need to work on this.
