Steps

Single Line Steps

Scenario: Some title

    Given some precondition
    And another precondition
    When I do something
    Then expect some side effect
    However some other side effect should not occur

• Steps do not have to start with Given, When, Then, And or But.
• Steps are trimmed (both right and left).
• Steps do not support annotations.
• Implement steps using Yadda step libraries and dictionaries

Multiline Steps

Scenario: Some title

    Given a poem
    --------------
    The Loss of the Dredger
    A stormy night, with lashing waves,
    To send the sailors to their graves.
    The howling wind brings mist and fog,
    The captain notes this in his log.
    --------------
    Then expect the poem to have one verse and four lines.

• Multiline steps must be preceded by a "leading" single line step, e.g. 'Given a poem'. This is because the contents of the multiline step is appended to the "leading" step, separated with a line break (\n).
• Multiline steps are demarcated by three or more consecutive dashes.
• If the mutiline step is the last step in the scenario, the terminating dashed line is optional.
• Multiline steps are left trimmed to start of the dashed line and right trimmed.

Structured Multiline Steps

Scenario: Some title

    Given some csv
    --------------
    First Name,Last Name,Age
    Joe,Bloggs,23
    John,Smith,41
    --------------
    Then expect Joe to be younger than John

Multiline steps can contain structured data such as tables, csv, xml and json, you only need to write a converter.
