For a step in Behave, is there some variable I can use to log the current step text? e.g.
When I go running
@when(u'I go running')
def step_impl(context):
log(f'Behave().currentStepText}')
...
Not directly, but you can use before_step in the environment.py file to save the step.name into the context and then use that in the step implementation.
Run the example below using 'behave --no-capture' so that the prints in the steps implementation show up on stdout.
environment.py:
def before_step(context, step):
context.step_name = step.name
feature/feature.py:
Feature: Print step name
Scenario: Print step name in each step
Given given step and KEYWORD
When when step
Then then step
steps/step.py:
@given('given step and {keyword}')
def step_impl(context, keyword):
# The trailing newline is necessary to have this line show up since
# behave color formatting will hide it otherwise. Could also run it
# as 'behave --no-capture --no-color'.
print(f"GIVEN step name: '{context.step_name}'\n")
@when('when step')
def step_impl(context):
print(f"WHEN step name: '{context.step_name}'\n")
@then('then step')
def step_impl(context):
print(f"THEN step name: '{context.step_name}'\n")
