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

VERSION

       version 0.17

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;

        use Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepFile;
        use Method::Signatures; # Allows short-hand func method

        Given     'something',          func ($c) { print "YEAH!" }
        When      qr/smooooth (\d+)/,   func ($c) { print "YEEEHAH $1" }
        Then      qr/something (else)/, func ($c) { print "Meh $1" }
        Step      qr/die now/,          func ($c) { die "now" }
        Transform qr/^(\d+)$/,          func ($c) { int $1 }
        Before                          func ($c) { setup_db() }
        After                           func ($c) { 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...

   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 } ]
        )
