Implement hooks #29

Open jowers opened 9 years ago

jowers commented 9 years ago

Currently, as each scenario is a new tcl interpreter, we have been using inline tcl to perform setup tasks for our tests. However, as there is no order to the files being sourced, we have hit a few problems with dependencies (e.g. trying to call a proc before it has been initialised).

It would be good if we were able to have before/after hooks to allow us to perform the initialisation in the before hook, knowing that everything has been sourced by that point.

@mattwynne, would this require changes to cucumber to allow hooks to be passed through?

Note - we'd need to consider what scope things are being run in if looking at this.

Hi @jowers.

I think we can do this without any changes to Cucumber. Shall we start with a feature file as usual, where you can sketch out the tcl DSL for defining hooks, and we can work our way in from there?

Hi,

Sounds good. I'm actually going to have a go at issue #28 first as it should be a quick one that is causing a little bit of frustration at the moment, then I'll move onto this one.
