Data Tables #18

Closed hisapy closed 7 years ago

Feature: Data Tables
  As a developer
  I want support for Data Tables 
  So I can get a list of values inside a step definition

Scenario: Data table represented as a list of maps
  Given the following data table
  | id  |  name  |
  | 1    | Luke    |
  | 2   | Darth   |
  When I run a the test file
  Then in the step definition I should get a var with the value
  """
  [%{id: "1", name: "Luke"}, %{id: "2", name: "Darth"}]
  """

Notice: I don't know if Cabbage currently support multiline strings. For more info see: https://cucumber.io/docs/reference#data-tables

Have you looked at https://github.com/cabbage-ex/cabbage/blob/master/test/features/coffee_outline.feature?

No I haven't but now that I have, I see is not the same as data tables. In the coffee example, the scenario is run with different values instead of making the step receive a "list" or "table"

So those are scenario outlines, which rerun the test with variables filled in. What hes asking for is also kind of necessary in order to do something like creating a user with specific attributes. I believe gherkin has support for data tables, we'd need to add a test and what it does and if there are any tweaks necessary on this side of things.
