Question

What is the difference between cuke4duke.Table.rows() and cuke4duke.Table.raw()
?

I’ve found that when I’m passing a table with one row only, rows() returns a list of size 0;

Cucumber steps

Then I see the following projects in the ProjectList
| My Private Project |

Java implementation

@Then ("^I see the following projects in the ProjectList$")
public void iSeeTheFollowingProjectsInProjectList(cuke4duke.Table table) {
    table.rows().size(); // gives 0 
    table.raw().size(); // gives 1

But the following does work as intended It does!

Cucumber steps

Then I see the following projects in the ProjectList
| Regression Project 3 |
| My Private Project |

Java implementation

@Then ("^I see the following projects in the ProjectList$")
public void iSeeTheFollowingProjectsInProjectList(cuke4duke.Table table) {
    // When I asked, I thought this was returning 2, but it's not, it's returning 1
    table.rows().size();
    table.raw().size(); // gives 2

Answer 1

Your results aren’t reproducible in Cucumber-Ruby.
For the first scenario Table#rows() returns 0 results and Table#raw() – 1 result
For the second scenario Table#rows() returns 1 result and Table#raw() – 2 results

Table#rows() recognizes the first row as table header.

So if your results are true (I haven’t checked it), it may be a bug in Cuke4Duke.

But all work on Cuke4Duke is defunkt so it won’t get fixed.
