Cucumber-Clojure

Cucumber-Clojure is a Cucumber implementation for Clojure.

This document is the reference for features that are specific to Cucumber-Clojure.

Please see the general reference for features that are common to all Cucumber implementations.

Step Definitions

Clojure step definitions are defined by using the provided macros. For example:

(use 'clojure-cukes.core)
(use 'clojure.test)

(Given #"^I have (\d+) big cukes in my belly$" [cukes]
       (println cukes))

You can use a DataTable to define a list:

Given I have a table with its keys in a header row:
  | id | name  | created-at    |
  | 55 | "foo" | 1293884100000 |
  | 56 | "bar" | 1293884100000 |

Simply declare the following:

(Given #"^I have a table with its keys in a header row:$" [data]
  (reset! most-recent (table->rows data)))

In this case, the DataTable is flattened to a vector of hashes

[{:id 55, :name "foo", :created-at 1293884100000}
{:id 56, :name "bar", :created-at 1293884100000}]

before invoking the step definition.

Running

There are several ways to run scenarios with Cucumber-Clojure:

• lein-cucumber
• JunitRunner

lein-cucumber

Leiningen uses clojure.test to run Cucumber. All you need is a single entry point:

(ns clojure-cukes.test.core
  (:use [clojure-cukes.core])
  (:use [clojure.test]))

(deftest run-cukes
  (. cucumber.api.cli.Main (main (into-array ["--plugin" "pretty" "--glue" "test/features/step_definitions" "test/features"]))))

You then need to add [lein-cucumber "1.0.2"] to :plugins in your project.clj. This allows you to run all Cucumber features with lein cucumber

JUnitRunner

The instructions for the JUnitRunner can be found here
