Maybe I'm missing something, but it looks like the current implementation is not compatible with one of the greatest features when using gherkin: Step defintion reuse!
That means, I want to define steps (ie. methods) that are mapped to gherkin lines based on a regular expression.
Maybe kyuri is not that far from that, with something like this (modified from the README example):
vows.describe('Addition').addBatch({
"Add two numbers": {
"GIVEN I have entered 50 into the calculator": {
topic: function () {
Given('I have entered 50 into the calculator');
},
"AND I have entered 70 into the calculator": {
topic: function () {
Given('I have entered 70 into the calculator');
},
"WHEN I press add": {
topic: function () {
When('I press add');
},
"THEN the result should be 120 on the screen": function () {
Then('the result should be 120 on the screen);
},
}
}
}
}
}).export(module);
then on runtime, those methods could use regex to call the appropiate step method defined somewhere else.
Given, When, and Then methods could be implemented easily.
It could be just a flag for kyuri to generate tests like this.
