Description

I would like to reuse Step classes and its methods in both scenarios that don't use example tables and also in scenarios that I want to use it.

For example:

This scenario we don't use example table, and its very flexible and reusable:

Given that user is editing Suppliers
When user input 12 for rankNumber
And input 3300,00 for maxValue
Then system sends a email to the managers with title 'Supplier rank was changed'.

For this work today I just need to create a step method like this:

@When("user inputs $value for $field")
@Alias("inputs $value for $field")
public void whenUserInputsValue(@Named("field") String pField,
            @Named("value") String pValue)
{
}

That step method is very reusable indeed a lot of scenarios could use it.

But if I want to use the benefit of an Example table in this scenario (maybe I found out others businesse rules that could be treat here too), I don't have this flexibility anymore, because Example table needs the steps sentence be fixed and table column matching @Named parameters.
So I will need to construct other method for the same purpose.

Today example tables need that the column tables match the parameter names

Maybe a solution could be to indicate on textual sentence both tableColumn and @named parameter to use.

For example:

Given that user is editing Suppliers
When user inputs $rankNumber_value for $rankNumber_field
And inputs $maxValue_value for $maxValue_field
Then system sends a email for the manager with '$messageTitle_value'. 
Example:
|rankNumber|maxValue|messageTitle|
|11|2122,00|decreased rank|
|1|50000,00|gold supplier|

The solution was to indicate on textual sentence the tableColumn to be used, and that must be between <> or {} or [] or ().
So, if example table is being used in scenario jbehave will take its values...

Scenario:
 In order to ensure a quick response
 As a trader
 I want to monitor stock prices

 Given a stock of <symbol> and a {threshold}
 When the stock is traded with [price]
 Then the trader is alerted with (status)

 Examples:
 |symbol|threshold|price|status|
 |STK1|15.0|5.0|OFF|
 |STK1|15.0|11.0|OFF|
 |STK1|15.0|16.0|ON|

Refactored trader example to show that the same Java Steps methods (with @Named parameters) can be used to match steps that are executed both as standalone or via examples table.
