To learn how to use Screenplay with SpecFlow, devs must be able to read a tutorial #155

The tutorial page for SpecFlow is yet to be written.

Hi @craigfowler , I was hoping to use your CSF.Screenplay code with Specflow for regression testing but without any documentation its quite difficult, especially since I've had a myriad of issues trying to get it running e.g. not recognising tests (even when following the NUnit tutorial). Any chance of documentation or a tutorial that demonstrates how to use the Screenplay pattern with your library? Thanks.

I've been really bad with this library and seriously neglected the documentation. I also haven't done much dev on my open source projects recently (other life priorities over the past few months). But - I haven't forgotten this and I will come back to it someday.

In the mean-time, you might be able to harvest some information from the tests in another project of mine. That's pretty much why I developed Screenplay, so that I could use it for regression testing, and over there, I do use SpecFlow.

That linked area has my .feature files, and the SpecFlow bindings, as well as Screenplay actions etc are found in the Agiil.BDD project.

There's also a screenplay integration config which will have some relevant info.

In the absence of real docs, you might be able to use these examples to get going?

Thanks Craig, I'll use the links you provided.

One thing I can offer, as the benefit of hindsight, is that I think I went overboard on the acceptance tests. I left my testing pyramid looking a bit like a testing hourglass.

I'm planning on using SpecFlow tags to mark up my features, so that I can convert the majority of test cases into simpler integration tests, and not full end-to-end browser tests.

I may or may not end up using screenplay for the converted ones.

I have just noticed/realised that I had the wiki permissions set incorrectly. Nobody would have been able to contribute to it except myself.

I have just relaxed them, so that others may contribute if they wish. In other news I am just starting to get geared up again for spare-time projects. In reality it may still be quite some time before I pick them up again in earnest, but I can at least see my return on the horizon now.
