Cucumber step definitions not found using cucumber-tsflow












0















I have been banging my head for a while trying to figure out why a few step definitions using cucumber-tsflow aren't being recognized by cucumber, yet the bare bones cucumber package definitions work fine. Has anyone come across this issue before? Any help would be appreciated!



My repo structure is as follows:



root/
- features/sample.feature
- steps/steps.ts


Inside sample.feature, I have:



Feature: Simple maths
In order to do maths
As a developer
I want to increment variables

Scenario: easy maths
Given a variable set to 1
When I increment the variable by 1
Then the variable should contain 2


Not Working Snippet (steps.ts):



import assert = require('assert')
import { binding, given, then, when } from 'cucumber-tsflow'

@binding()
class MySteps {
private a: number

@given('/a variable set to "([^"]*)"/')
public aVariableSetTo(searchValue: string): void {
this.a = Number(searchValue)
}

@when('/I increment the variable by "([^"]*)"/')
public incrementTheVariableBy(increment: string): void {
this.a = this.a + Number(increment)
}

@then('/the variable should contain "([^"]*)"/')
public theVariableShouldContain(expected: string): void {
assert.equal(this.a, Number(expected))
}
}

export = MySteps


Working Snippet (steps.ts):



const { Given, When, Then } = require('cucumber')
var assert = require('assert')

let a

Given('a variable set to {int}', function(number) {
a = number
})

When('I increment the variable by {int}', function(number) {
a = a + number
})

Then('the variable should contain {int}', function(number) {
assert.equal(a, number)
})


The command I used to run the test is:



./node_modules/.bin/cucumber-js src/test/features/ --require src/test/steps/*.ts --require-module ts-node/register


My package versions are:



"cucumber": "^5.0.2",
"cucumber-tsflow": "^3.1.0",
"ts-node": "^7.0.1",
"typescript": "~3.1.6"


Various things I tried (and failed) to get the Not Working version fixed:




  • Downgraded cucumber version to 3.x, and 4.x instead of 5.x

  • Tried various directory structures and re-arranging

  • Tried several command line variations for cucumber-js

  • Resolved the original issue. For anyone that wants to use this snippet, the line @when('/I increment the variable by "([^"]*)"/') had an extra " before the $ so the steps weren't being recognized... wow.
