How to get all the cucumber scenario steps in before hook?


I want to access all the cucumber scenario steps in @before hook. Is there a way to do this?

I have tried passing the cucumber scenario object in the before hook method but it only provides the basic info like scenario.getName(), scenario.getId(). What I require is something like getSteps() which give me the List<String> of all the steps of that particular scenario.

What I am looking for is something like this

    @Before("@dev")
public void testcase(Scenario scenario){

    for (Step a : scenario.getSteps()) {
        System.out.println("scenario step = " + a.getText());
    }
}

Basically I want the complete scenario information at the beginning of the test execution itself.

If I pass the argument of class cucumber.api.TestCase in the before method then I can access the getTestSteps() method but that leads to below exception.

cucumber.runtime.CucumberException: When a hook declares an argument it must be of type cucumber.api.Scenario. public void com.thermofisher.bid.spa.kingfisher.ui.steps.Hooks.poc(cucumber.api.TestCase)

Solution

  • Try something like this:

    @Before
    public void setUp(Scenario scenario) throws Exception{
    
        tags = (ArrayList<String>) scenario.getSourceTagNames();
        System.out.println("At Hooks: " + scenario.getId());
        Iterator ite = tags.iterator();
    
        while (ite.hasNext()) {
    
            String buffer = ite.next().toString();
            if (buffer.startsWith("<tagOfATestCase>")) {
    
                Field f = scenario.getClass().getDeclaredField("testCase");
                f.setAccessible(true);
                TestCase r = (TestCase) f.get(scenario);
    
                List<PickleStepTestStep> testSteps = r.getTestSteps().stream().filter(x -> x instanceof PickleStepTestStep)
                        .map(x -> (PickleStepTestStep) x).collect(Collectors.toList());
    
                for (PickleStepTestStep ts : testSteps) {
    
                    System.out.println(ts.getStepText());//will print your test case steps
    
                }
    
            }
    
        }
