Gherkin¶

Gherkin is a way of making test cases easily readable and understandable for users.

Learn by example

Check out our example Gherkin repository.

Formats¶

For Gherkin you can upload the feature files you write your test cases in, and Calliope will generate a blank report. See Gherkin feature for more information.

Installation¶

Gherkin is part of Cucumber so check out the link below on how to install Cucumber.

https://cucumber.io/docs/installation/

However, it is not necessary to install Cucumber to write Gherkin features. As long as you use the correct syntax we can convert it see https://cucumber.io/docs/gherkin/reference/ for the syntax.

Importing your result to calliope¶

When you have written your feature file you can upload this to Calliope. You can Zip your features and upload or drag and drop them to get your files into Calliope!

Calliope Auto Populate¶

We build a feature to make it easier to upload minimalistic Gherkin. This is a great feature if you quickly want to make a structure. If you add the @auto_populate tag to your feature we only need a scenario to create a report. It will automatically add a step with the status Unknown. From there on out you can start editing the report to whatever you like.

The only exception with regular Gherkin is that Background does not work.

Here is an example:

@auto_populate
Feature: SuperMarket Online scenarios meeting nr 21030

  Scenario: SuperMarket login

  Scenario: SuperMarket add to cart

  Scenario: SuperMarket remove to cart

  Scenario: SuperMarket checkout

Is translated to:

@auto_populate
Feature: SuperMarket Online scenarios meeting nr 21030

  Scenario: SuperMarket login
    Then result

  Scenario: SuperMarket add to cart
    Then result

  Scenario: SuperMarket remove to cart
    Then result

  Scenario: SuperMarket checkout
    Then result
