Examples can only be used with Scenario Outlines. Scenario Outlines are ways to run a scenario with different data sets. If you change Scenario to Scenario Outline your example will work: Feature: Homepage As a webiste user I want to see a pretty homepage Scenario Outline: Homepage Display Given I am on an ecommerce <website> … Read more
You can right click on the project and choose ‘regenerate feature files’ to do them all at once.
Here is a non-developer tool. We had a similar requirement and I wanted to have a stab at creating a Chrome extension. It’s free and there are no ads. Above all it is cross-platform and requires no technical knowledge to install and run. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tidy-gherkin/nobemmencanophcnicjhfhnjiimegjeo I know this is an old post, but I came across … Read more
(I might be biased because I am involved with SpecFlow, but here my thoughts…) Cuke4Nuke is very close to Cucumber. This promises a lot of advantages: Compatibility Getting new features from Cucumber when Cucumber evolves (at least in theory, but language support is an example for this) Being a real part of the Cucumber community … Read more
Bah. I can’t believe I didn’t find this earlier. You CAN escape a pipe with the backslash, but the specflow syntax highlighter gets confused by it. Then the data should be | Field | Value | | SomeField | a\|b\|c |
SpecFlow creates a .cache file in your Temp folder that holds these bindings to speed things up. If that file gets out of whack, you can delete it: Exit Visual Studio. Open Windows Explorer. In the address bar, type %TEMP% and hit Enter to go to your temp folder. Find the files whose names start … Read more

If you want to be able to run your tests directly from Visual Studio 2010 without any additional tools or extensions than you should configure SpecFlow to use MsTest as its unit test framework. This can be done in your application configuration file with the following: <configSections> <section name=”specFlow” type=”TechTalk.SpecFlow.Configuration.ConfigurationSectionHandler, TechTalk.SpecFlow”/> </configSections> <specFlow> <unitTestProvider name=”MsTest” … Read more
Great question. I am neither a bdd or specflow expert, however, my first bit of advice would be to take a step back and assess your scenario. Do you really want to use the terms “throw” and “exception” in this spec? Keep in mind the idea with bdd is to use a ubiquitous language with … Read more
Declaritive is the proper way, IMO. If youre talking about page .aspx file names, you’re doing it wrong. The purpose of the story is to facilitate communication between developers and non-develoeprs. Non-developers don’t care about products.aspx, they care about a product listing. Your system does something the non-developers find value in. This is what you’re … Read more
