Step definition is not found when using Scenario Outline and "/" characters in the Examples

[marcinosb]

Hello,

pytest-bdd: 7.0.0

I am having a simple Scenario Outline which is using table like this:

        | Popup    | Country  | Site                             | Locator                       |
        | False      | US           | https://my-site.com  | <selenium_locator>  |

In this case I am getting everytime: pytest_bdd.exceptions.StepDefinitionNotFoundError exception. Removing // from the https://my-site.com seems to help and the step works perfectly fine in that case.

Are there any characters that are not allowed to be used in the Scenario Outline examples?

Thanks! Marcin

interesting, this seems a bug indeed, I'll have a look

I have similar issue but with "#". I'm validating a text on the screen

And User verifies that "UP/DN NX/PR #JMP Add Brkup Del Edit  [1]" is on line "7" on the screen

@given(parsers.cfparse('User verifies that "{text}" is on line "{line}" on the screen'))

But I get

E           KeyError: 'pytestbdd_then_User verifies that "UP/DN NX/PR'

..\..\sepac-pytest-bdd-autotests\venv\lib\site-packages\_pytest\fixtures.py:599: KeyError

any suggestions?

@kotavi that happens because pytest-bdd treats everything after # as comment (like in python). That's unrelated to the original issue

[kotavi]

@youtux is there an existing issue for this or should I create a new one? "#" should be accepted as a part of the input in the step definition

[youtux]

Did you try escaping it with a backslash, like \#?

[kotavi]

when I do '#' it's treated as a string with '\', so I just added a workaround in the step definition code.
