jbehave run only specific story


I have jbehave integrated with Selenium. I am running my tests through command line as below C:\eclipse_workspace\MySeleniumTests>mvn clean test -Dwebdriver.firefox.bin="C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Firefox\firefox.exe"

I have used jbehave-maven-plugin. Maven picks up all the Embedder impl (JunitStories in my case) from the source directory and execute them one by one. Configuration for that is <include>**/*Stories.java</include> in pom.xml

It then looks for relevant .story files in the specified dir and executes them. Say, I have two story files one.story and two.story, both of them are executed.

Over a time, number of story files are going to increase I only want to execute specific story files should there be a way to do this? I am thinking to pass specific story file names as run time parameters but don’t know what is required to make that happen.


Solution

  • I got it working with the below code

    mvn clean test -Dwebdriver.firefox.bin="C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Firefox\firefox.exe" -Dstory=myStory.story
    

    Override storyPaths() method in embedder class as below.

    public class MyTestStories extends JUnitStories /* InjectableEmbedder */{
    
        @Override
        protected List<String> storyPaths() {
            List<String> storiesToRun = new ArrayList<String>();
            String storyProperty = System.getProperty("story");
    
            if (storyProperty == null || storyProperty.isEmpty()) {
               throw new RuntimeException("Please specify which stories to run");
            }
    
            String[] storyNames = storyProperty.split(",");
            StoryFinder sf = new StoryFinder();
            URL baseUrl = CodeLocations.codeLocationFromClass(this.getClass());
    
            for (String storyName : storyNames) {
               storiesToRun.addAll(sf.findPaths(baseUrl, storyName, ""));
            }
    
            return storiesToRun;
        }
