Example project for the article "Behavior Driven Development" by Matthias Balke and Sebastian Laag

Overview

This is a test project to demonstrate how JBehave can be used in a java project context.

Execute example tests

The prepared tests can be run from either command line (maven) or IDE (Eclipse/JUnit). To run the tests from command line using maven execute:

mvn clean integration-test

To run them from within Eclipse execute the *Stories files located in src/test/java. The method stepsFactory() defines which tests will be executed.

Note: Some systems like Windows or Mac OS X have an default file encoding other than UTF-8. On this systems the execution from command line may fail. This can be fixed by changing the default file encoding temporarily. For Windows system check out the runTests.bat:

Windows:

:: set the file encoding temporarily to UTF-8
set JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF8"
:: and execute the tests
mvn clean integration-test

Mac OS X/Linux/Unix:

#!/bin/bash
# sets the default platform encoding temporary to utf-8
export JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF8"
# and execute the tests
mvn clean integration-test
