Futile.SpecFlow.Actions.Configuration 0.1.350.6

Futile.SpecFlow.Actions.Configuration

This SpecFlow.Action is used to read configuration values out of the specflow.actions.json file. You can also provide configurations for multiple targets, to run your scenarios with different configurations.

This SpecFlow.Action is used by every SpecFlow.Action that has a configuration.

Futile?

Work on Specflow has been discontinued and the successor is reqnroll (status May 2024). This nuget package comes from a fork that:

1. Includes some bug fixes
2. Uses net48 and net8.0

Updated examples can be found here (Selenium and Playwright support multiple targets): Futile.SpecFlow-Examples.

Included Features

• Reading configuration values from specflow.actions.json
• Supports targets via specflow.actions.%TARGET_NAME%.json files.
• helper classes to read out the configuration values.

Configuration

You can configure this plugin via the specflow.actions.json.

Example:

{
  "your_configuration": "value of the property"
}

Multiple target configurations

This plugin supports tagreting of multiple configurations at runtime. For each configuration you provide, a class will be generated in your feature's code behind file when you build the project. This means that for any given test, the test will be executed against each target.

Example:

specflow.actions.json

{
  "your_configuration": "value of the property",
  "another_configuration": "another value"
}

specflow.actions.TARGET_1.json

{
  "your_configuration": "TARGET 1 overrides this value"
}

specflow.actions.TARGET_2.json

{
  "your_configuration": "TARGET 2 overrides this value"
}

[Binding]
public class A_Binding_Class
{
    private readonly ISpecFlowActionsConfiguration _specFlowActionsConfiguration;

    public A_Binding_Class(ISpecFlowActionsConfiguration specFlowActionsConfiguration)
    {
        _specFlowActionsConfiguration = specFlowActionsConfiguration;
    }

    public string GetConfigurationValue()
    {
        return _specFlowActionsConfiguration.Get("your_configuration", string.Empty);
    }
}

With this configuration, you are getting every scenario twice in your test explorer.

The result of the GetConfigurationValue is the following:

APIs
