Question

I’m using jbehave in my project.

the story:

Scenario: Basic new document creation
Given a user Micky Mouse
When new document created
Then document should named new document
And document status should be NEW

my code:

/snip
    @Then("document status should be $status")
        public void documentStatusShouldBe(@Named("status") DocStatus status) {
            System.out.println(activeDocument.getStatus());
            assertThat(activeDocument.getStatus(), equalTo(status));
        }
/snip

my enum:

public enum DocStatus {
    NEW, IN_PROGRESS, APPROVE
}

when i ren my test i get:

org.jbehave.core.embedder.Embedder$RunningStoriesFailed: Failures in

What i’m doing worng?

Answer 1

Your embedder (typically the story class) needs to explicitly add the EnumConverter to the list of known ones:

configuration().useParameterConverters(
    configuration().parameterConverters().addConverters(
          new ParameterConverters.EnumConverter() ) );

JBehave does not add this converter per default (See ParmeterConverters.defaultConverters())
