Though I have read many, but many articles on how to use JBehave, I can't get it to work. Here are the steps I went through so far:
- Created new Java Project
- Downloaded JBehave JAR file version 3.6.8 and added it to my build path libraries
- Created a package called
com.wmi.tutorials.bdd.stack.specsunder the test source folder in my workspace - Added the JBehave JAR file to my Build path Library configuration
- Created a JBehave story in the above-mentioned package (StackBehaviourStories.story)
- Created a Java class in the above-mentioned package (StackBehaviourStory.java)
- Created a Java class in the above-mentioned package (StackBehaviourSteps.java)
- Imported the Given, Named, Then, When annotations in my Java class
- Written two different scenarios in my JBehave story file
And still, I can't get it to work/run! =(
The story file:
Narrative:
In order to learn to with JBehave using Eclipse
As a junior Java developer though senior in .Net and in BDD
I want to define the behaviour of a custom stack
Scenario: I push an item onto the stack
Given I have an empty stack
When I push an item 'orange'
Then I should count 1
Scenario: I pop from the stack
Given I have an empty stack
When I push an item 'apple'
And I pop the stack
Then I should count 0
The story class
package com.wmi.tutorials.bdd.stack.specs
import org.jbehave.core.configuration.MostUsefulConfiguration;
import org.jbehave.core.junit.JUnitStory;
public class StackBehaviourStory extends JUnitStory {
@Override
public Configuration configuration() { return new MostUsefulConfiguration(); }
@Override
public InjectableStepsFactory stepsFactory() {
return new InstanceStepsFactory(configuration()
, new StackBehaviourSteps());
}
}
The steps class
package com.wmi.tutorials.bdd.stack.specs
import org.jbehave.core.annotations.Given;
import org.jbehave.core.annotations.Named;
import org.jbehave.core.annotations.Then;
import org.jbehave.core.annotations.When;
import org.jbehave.core.junit.Assert;
public class StackBehaviourSteps {
@Given("I have an empty stack")
public void givenIHaveAnEmptyStack() { stack = new CustomStack(); }
@When("I push an item $item")
public void whenIPushAnItem(@Named("item") String item) { stack.push(item); }
@Then("I should count $expected")
public void thenIShouldCount(@Named("expected") int expected) {
int actual = stack.count();
if (actual != expected)
throw new RuntimeException("expected:"+expected+";actual:"+actual);
}
}
I'm currently using Eclipse Kepler (4.3) JEE with everything I need to use JUnit, Google App Engine, and yes, JBehave is installed correctly following the Eclipse JBehave installation tutorial.
I can't get it to work. So how can I make it work correctly using Eclipse, JBehave and JUnit?
