NAME

       Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepFile - Functions for creating and loading Step Definitions

VERSION

       version 0.84

DESCRIPTION

       Provides the Given/When/Then functions, and a method for loading Step Definition files and
       returning the steps.

SYNOPSIS

       Defining steps:

        #!perl

        use strict; use warnings; use Test::More;
        # or: use strict; use warnings; use Test2::V0;

        use Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepFile;

        Given     'something',          sub { print "YEAH!" }
        When      qr/smooooth (\d+)/,   sub { print "YEEEHAH $1" }
        Then      qr/something (else)/, sub { S->{'match'} = $1 }
        Step      qr/die now/,          sub { die "now" }
        Transform qr/^(\d+)$/,          sub { int $1 }
        Before                          sub { setup_db() }
        After                           sub { teardown() }

       Loading steps, in a different file:

        use Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepFile;
        my @steps = Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepFile->load('filename_steps.pl');

EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

   Given
   When
   Then
   Step
   Transform
   Before
   After
       Accept a regular expression or string, and a coderef. Some cute tricks ensure that when
       you call the "load()" method on a file with these statements in, these are returned to
       it...

   C
   S
       Return the context and the Scenario stash, respectively, but only when called inside a
       step definition.

   load
       Loads a file containing step definitions, and returns a list of the steps defined in it,
       of the form:

        (
         [ 'Given', qr/abc/, sub { etc } ],
         [ 'Step',  'asdf',  sub { etc } ]
        )
