Use Cucumber Expressions? #1

Cucumber Open no longer encourages the use of regular expressions. All snippets are Cucumber Expressions.

In order to be consistent and avoid confusing users I think we should avoid using Regular Expressions for our example projects and use Cucumber Expressions instead :-)

You are totally right

And that's not the only issue. We should also stay away from the Connextra template (As a... I want to... So that...). Seb and Steve told me that as a feature is not a user story, it does not really make any sense.

Our whole CucumberStudio documentation and hiptest-publisher templates have to be updated to fix this.

For this repository, I used regular expressions because that's what hiptest-publisher is exporting at the moment. I had to get something quick and running for the demo. Thanksfully, the community has proposed enhancements and the TypeScript, Java, and Groovy exports will use Cucumber Expressions in next release of hiptest-publisher.

For next demo I'll make sure to update it, as well as the one on cucumber/coffee-machine-javascript.

Agreed on removing the connextra template. That said, I think the description ought to describe who the feature is for, and why it exists. I prefer simple prose without a particular template - whatever makes sense.
