cucumber-rust

An implementation of the Cucumber testing framework for Rust. Fully native, no external test runners or dependencies.

Usage

Create a directory called tests/ in your project root and create a test target of your choice. In this example we will name it cucumber.rs.

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[[test]]
name = "cucumber"
harness = false # Allows Cucumber to print output instead of libtest

[dev-dependencies]
cucumber_rust = "^0.5.1"

If using stable Rust, you need to disable the nightly feature:

cucumber_rust = { version = "^0.5.1", default-features = false }

Create a directory called features/ and put a feature file in it named something like example.feature. It might look like:

Feature: Example feature

  Scenario: An example scenario
    Given I am trying out Cucumber
    When I consider what I am doing
    Then I am interested in ATDD
    And we can implement rules with regex

And here's an example of implementing those steps using our tests/cucumber.rs file:

#[macro_use]
extern crate cucumber_rust;

pub struct MyWorld {
    // You can use this struct for mutable context in scenarios.
    foo: String
}

impl cucumber_rust::World for MyWorld {}
impl std::default::Default for MyWorld {
    fn default() -> MyWorld {
        // This function is called every time a new scenario is started
        MyWorld { 
            foo: "a default string".to_string()
        }
    }
}

mod example_steps {
    // Any type that implements cucumber_rust::World + Default can be the world
    steps!(::MyWorld => {
        given "I am trying out Cucumber" |world, step| {
            world.foo = "Some string".to_string();
            // Set up your context in given steps
        };

        when "I consider what I am doing" |world, step| {
            // Take actions
            let new_string = format!("{}.", &world.foo);
            world.foo = new_string;
        };

        then "I am interested in ATDD" |world, step| {
            // Check that the outcomes to be observed have occurred
            assert_eq!(world.foo, "Some string.");
        };

        then regex r"^we can (.*) rules with regex$" |world, matches, step| {
            // And access them as an array
            assert_eq!(matches[1], "implement");
        };

        then regex r"^we can also match (\d+) (.+) types$" (usize, String) |world, num, word, step| {
            // `num` will be of type usize, `word` of type String
            assert_eq!(num, 42);
            assert_eq!(word, "olika");
        };
    });
}

// Declares a before handler function named `a_before_fn`
before!(a_before_fn => |scenario| {

});

// Declares an after handler function named `an_after_fn`
after!(an_after_fn => |scenario| {

});

// A setup function to be called before everything else
fn setup() {
    
}

cucumber! {
    features: "./features", // Path to our feature files
    world: ::MyWorld, // The world needs to be the same for steps and the main cucumber call
    steps: &[
        example_steps::steps // the `steps!` macro creates a `steps` function in a module
    ],
    setup: setup, // Optional; called once before everything
    before: &[
        a_before_fn // Optional; called before each scenario
    ], 
    after: &[
        an_after_fn // Optional; called after each scenario
    ] 
}

The cucumber! creates the main function to be run.

The steps! macro generates a function named steps with all the declared steps in the module it is defined in. Ordinarily you would create something like a steps/ directory to hold your steps modules instead of inline like the given example.

The full gamut of Cucumber's Gherkin language is implemented by the gherkin-rust project. Most features of the Gherkin language are parsed already and accessible via the relevant structs.
