@qavajs/memory

This library provides the capability to transit variables between step and access them from gherkin definitions

npm install @qavajs/memory

Usage

Lib resolves provided value from storage

const memory = require('@qavajs/memory');

When(/^save variable as '(.+)'$/, async function (key) {
    memory.setValue(key, 42);
});

Then(/^value '(.+)' should be equal to '(.+)'$/, async function (variable1, variable2) {
    const val = memory.getValue(variable1);
    expect(val).to.equal(variable2);
});

When save variable as 'variable'
Then value of '$variable' should be equal to '42'

Using constants and computed

Lib provides capability to set constant values and computed (values that calculated in the moment of call)

module.exports = {
    CONSTANT: 42,
    now: function() {
        return Date.now()
    }
};

Register constants and computed

Before using memory it needs to be registered. The best place to do it is Before hook

const memory = require('@qavajs/memory');
const memoryMap = require('./memoryMap.js')
Before(async function() {
    memory.register(memoryMap);
});

Escape $

$ can be escaped with double backslash

When I expect text of 'Currency Label' to equal '\\$42'
