Cypress-cucumber use embedded steps
I am using cypress and cucumber. There is a common folder with steps that are shared. I want to create a step that consist of few other different steps is there any way how can I achieve it?
Example:
And("step1", () => {
...
})
And("step2", () => {
...
})
And("step3", () => {
...
})
And("combined", () => {
step1
step2
step3
})
Solution 1:
The best way do this is to have the step call a helper method and have the method call other helper methods. If you follow this approach you remove all the cucumber specific stuff from your problem and you allow yourself the space to customise your solution and make it more robust.
In ruby I would do this as follows
module StepHelper
def step1
end
def step2
end
def combined
step1
step2
end
end
World StepHelper
And "step 1" do
step1
end
And "step 2" do
step2
end
And "combined" do
combined
end
Note the last scenario implementation, it is much better than
And "combined" do
step1
step2
end
You'll need to translate this to cypress (sorry I can't help you with that)
