We're trying to verify XML REST API's and would like to write Cucumber
specs of the following type:
Scenario: Create a phrase
Given I have an authenticated session for user with login "steve"
When I send a POST to /phrases with parameters: locale=ca and post
body
"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<phrase>
<uuid>060e985b-0307-4c8f-b43f-c16f0e45196d</uuid>
<text>Fake Catalan Source</text>
<source_language>ca</source_language>
</phrase>"
Then I get a 201 (created) status result
And I a phrase object with UUID=060e985b-0307-4c8f-b43f-c16f0e45196d
exists on the server
In other words, we're trying to pass a multi-line value to the parser.
We've found this reference:
https://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/16211/tickets/4-add-multiline-step-support
It's marked as resolved, but we can't seem to get it to work with the
"..." syntax.
The parser statement is:
When /^I send a (GET|POST|PUT|DELETE) to ([\/\w]+)(?: with parameters:
)?(.*) and post body (.*)$/m do |method, path, params, body|
send(method.downcase.to_sym, path, params)
end
The error:
$ cucumber features/phrases_xml.feature -n
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/cucumber-0.2.3/bin/../lib/cucumber/parser/treetop_ext.rb:42:in
