QAF | In Data driven testing, retrieving csv data row directly inside StepDef - bdd

Question

In my setup using QAF Gerkin, I have an 80+ data column in the test data file which is very difficult to pass all the columns in steps using "<data_column>". I would like to retrieve all the column data directly in my StepDef according to data-driven iteration. I have tried using getBundle().getString("column_name"), but it is not working.
Eg:
Feature File:
Scenario outline: UI-34_Customer Creation
And I request api "get.sample.call"
And I assert api response status is "200"
And Test Data Retrive
Examples: {"datafile": "data/scenarios/1622630669181.csv", "filter": '(_status==true) && (_id.equalsIgnoreCase("UI-34"))'}
StepDef:
QAFTestStep(description="Test Data Retrive")/**/
public void testDataRetrive(){
System.out.println("============>>>>>>>==========");
System.out.println(getBundle().getString("customer_name"));
System.out.println("============<<<<<<<>>>>>>>==========");
}
Note: I'm able to retrive the data, if I mention the column name directly in Step.

Answer 1

Your step need to accept argument and value need to passed when called. In order to pass record/entry from data-provider you can use args[0] reference as value.
Refer example below:
#QAFTestStep(description="Test Data Retrive {testdata}")
public void testDataRetrive(Map<String, Object> data){
System.out.println("============>>>>>>>==========");
System.out.println(data.get("customer_name"));
System.out.println("============<<<<<<<>>>>>>>==========");
}
Scenario outline: UI-34_Customer Creation
And I request api "get.sample.call"
And I assert api response status is "200"
And Test Data Retrive "${args[0]}"
Examples: {"datafile": "data/scenarios/1622630669181.csv", "filter": '(_status==true) && (_id.equalsIgnoreCase("UI-34"))'}
