SpecFlow .net up and running with IntelliJ Rider
Create the project
I used a class library project
Add the required libraries
Using Nuget:
- Specflow.xunit
- FluentAssertions
- Microsoft.net.test.sdk
Add some features
- Create a folder called features (for the gherkin files)
- Create a folder called steps (for the step implementation files)
Create a feature file in features, such as test.feature, containing:
Feature:
As a product owner
I want to use Gherkin
So that I convey system intent to my dear developers
Add some acceptance criteria:
Scenario: A use case
Given I have some gherkin
When I execute it
Then the product owner is happy
Now build the project. Some magickery will cause some files to be created, to support SpecFlow.
Implement a stub step
To let SpecFlow know where to create the implementation for the steps:
- Create a class such as TestSteps inside the steps folder:
namespace xxx
{
[TechTalk.Specflow.Binding]
public class TestSteps
{
}
}
Link the Gherkin to C#
Now go back to the feature file and option-enter the squiggly line on all the steps. Rider will create the step stubs in the TestSteps file.
Voila!
