specflow

I've got a project that's using SpecFlow, NUnit and Coypu to do acceptance tests on a web application. I've got the project building OK via Jenkins on a build server. Jenkins calls a psake script which runs msbuild on the specs project, then the script calls nunit-console to run the specs/tests, and then I want to generate a report from SpecFlow. Framework "4.0" task Default -depends RunSpecs task BuildSpecs { $env:EnableNuGetPackageRestore = "true" msbuild /t:Rebuild ReturnsPortal.Specs.csproj } task RunSpecs -depends BuildSpecs { exec { & "C:\path\to\NUnit 2.5.9\bin\net-2.0\nunit-console-x86

first of all I'm new to SpecFlow. I have a feature file which I have / want to automate using MSTest to run as a functional test involving a fully set up server, data access ... For this purpose I have to configure the server with the data in the SpecFlow's 'Given' blocks and start it afterwards. I also have to copy some files to the test's output directory. In the non-SpecFlow functional tests I was using the ClassInitialize attribute to get the TestDeploymentDir from the TestContext; something like this: [ClassInitialize] public static void ClassSetup(TestContext context) {

We have utilized Specflow and WatIn for acceptance tests at my current project. The customer wants us to use Microsoft coded-ui instead. I have never tested coded ui, but from what I've seen so far it looks cumbersome. I want to specify my acceptance tests up front, before I have a ui, not as a result of some record/playback stuff. Anyway, can someone please tell me why we should throw away the Specflow/watin combo and replace it with coded ui? I've also read that you can combine specflow with coded ui, but it looks like a lot of overhead for something which I am already doing fine in specflow

I'm currently running tests through visual studio. Before all the tests are run, I automatically create a set number of users with know credentials, and at the end of the run I delete those users. However, sometimes I need to cancel my tests midway. In these cases the test never gets the chance to clean up, this means that there is left over fake user info from the test run and may causes the next test run to crash (when it attempts to add user info into the DB). Is there anyway to force visual studio/mstest to run a clean up method even if the test is canceled? I know one option is to have

I am using selenium, Specflow and nUnit to run automated tests with visual studio. The code was working with visual studio 2010. After I installed visual studio 2012, selenium and Specflow again (I think I did it right), it stopped working. First, the steps didn't recognize their definitions and I think I fix it writing [Binding] in all the c# files that contains their definitions. Now when I try to build the project it shows an error that I can't solve to all feature files. It shows 50 errors (the same number of Specflow feature files I have), they are all the same, and it says this: Error:

I would like out QA team to be able to run SpecFlow tests. I would like them to be able to change values and append more scenarios. These appended scenarios will have matching step definitions, so they only need to modify the features. The QA team does not have access to Visual Studio. Is it possible to achieve this without using Visual Studio? We are currently using MS Test but we are willing to use NUnit if that will help. Yes - there is a 'simple' way. Since SpecFlow merely generates tests from the text in the .feature files you can use the command line runner of the tool of your choice.

Is there a way to pass an array of parameters instead of passing each parameter individually? For example I have the following scenarios: When i login to a site then <firstname>, <lastname>, <middleName>, <Desingation>, <Street>, <Apartmentno> are valid The list can go on above. Instead can I pass all the above variables in an array? You can pass a comma separated string and then transform it into a list: When i login to a site then 'Joe,Bloggs,Peter,Mr,Some street,15' are valid [Then("'(.*)' are valid")] public void ValuesAreValid(List<String> values) { } [StepArgumentTransformation] public
