Support asterisk as a conjuction #123

Closed qi55wyqu closed 1 year ago

qi55wyqu commented 1 year ago

The gherkin syntax supports using an asterisk instead of And (https://cucumber.io/docs/gherkin/reference/).

When I use And, the step is parsed as 'keyword': 'And ', 'keywordType': 'Conjunction'.

However when I use * the step is parsed as 'keyword': '* ', 'keywordType': 'Unknown'.

It would be great if the correct keywordType was set.

* means that it could be used by any keyword step And means that type of step is substituted from the previous step

So they have different meanings

Ah that makes sense, thank you! I think this issue can be closed then.

This difference isn't clear from the official documentation though.
