I want to pass empty Strings with a Parameterized style scenario like this:
| scenario | Test with A "_", B "_" and C "_" | a, b, c |
| ensure | do | type | on | id=field1 | with | #a |
| ensure | do | type | on | id=field2 | with | #b |
| ensure | do | type | on | id=field3 | with | #c |
and accordingly I use this code:
| Test with A " ", B " " and C " "|
It doesn't matter, whether I use " " or "${blank}" for an empty string, instead of empty strings FitNesse parses the arguments into "#a", "#b" and "#c".
Only if I deliver one not empty string, the others pass as empty.
e.g.:
| Test with A "dummy", B " " and C "${blank}" |
writes "dummy" into field1 and empty strings into the fields 2 and 3.
How can I achieve that all arguments pass as empty?
Thanks in advance!
Try passing the value as literal text
|!- Test with A " ", B " " and C " "-!|
Although. to me, it sounds like you should use a decision table and not Scenario Table. But that's just me :)

In previous job I have used DBFit and used parameters (variables/placeholders) for values
example:
|Key? |
|>>Key|
!|Query|SELECT Status FROM Confirm WHERE Name='xyz' |
| Status | Key |
| Confirmed | <<Key |
I am now using SpecFlow and wondered if it has similar functionality
example: ( I have used << and >> here just for explanation )
Given I get Initial for
And the 1st response should contain
| Name | string | "xyz" |
| Key | string | >>{Key} |
When I get Confirm for
Then the 1st response should contain
| Name | string | "xyz" |
| Key | string | <<{Key} |
I think you are looking for Scenario Outlines.
With them, you can specify a table with your parameters. So in your case, it is looking something like this:
Scenario Outline: Title for your Scenario Outline
Given I get Initial for And the 1st response should contain
| field | type | assertion |
| Name | string | "xyz" |
| Key | string | <Key> |
When I get Confirm for
Then the 1st response should contain
| field | type | assertion |
| Name | string | "xyz" |
| Key | string | <Key> |
Examples:
| Key |
| example1 |
| example2 |
| example3 |
Be aware that you have here two different types of tables. The table at your steps is an argument for the step.
The Examples table at the end are the concrete examples. So the Scenario is executed once per each entry in this table.
You can use the parameters from the example table with a simple <COLUMN_NAME> placeholder.

Currently, for a recurring search with different parameters, I have this ActiveRecord query built:
current_user.documents.order(:updated_at).reverse_order.includes(:groups,:rules)
Now, usually I tack on a where clause to this to perform this search. However, I now need to do a search through the jsonb field for all rows that have a certain value as in the key:value pair. I've been able to do something a similar to that in my SQL, with this syntax (the data field will only be exactly two levels nested):
SELECT
*
FROM
(SELECT
*
FROM
(SELECT
*
FROM
documents
) A,
jsonb_each(A.data)
) B,
jsonb_each_text(B.value) ASC C
WHERE
C.value = '30';
However, I want to use the current ActiveRecord search to make this query (which includes the groups/rules eager loading).
I'm struggling with the use of the comma, which I understand is an implicit join, which is executed before explicit joins, so when I try something like this:
select * from documents B join (select * from jsonb_each(B.data)) as A on true;
ERROR: invalid reference to FROM-clause entry for table "b"
LINE 1: ...* from documents B join (select * from jsonb_each(B.data)) a...
^
HINT: There is an entry for table "b", but it cannot be referenced from this part of the query.
But I don't understand how to reference the complete "table" the ActiveRecord query I have creates before I make a joins call, as well as make use of the comma syntax for implicit joins to work.
Also, I'm an SQL amateur, so if you see some improvements or other ways to do this, please do tell.

Sample rows, first would match a search for '30' (data is the last field):
2104 | 24419693037 | LsitHandsBackwards.jpg | | | 1 | 2017-06-25 21:45:49.121686 | 2017-07-01 21:32:37.624184 | box | 221607127 | 15 | {"owner": {"born": "to make history", "price": 30}}

You can use a query similar to the one you already showed:
SELECT
d.id, d.data
FROM
documents AS d
INNER JOIN json_each(d.data) AS x ON TRUE
INNER JOIN json_each(x.value) AS y ON TRUE
WHERE
cast(y.value as text) = '30';
Assuming your data would be the following one:
INSERT INTO documents
(data)
VALUES
('{"owner": {"born": "to make history", "price": 30}}'),
('{"owner": {}}'),
('{"owner": {"born": "to make history", "price": 50}, "seller": {"worth": 30}}')
;
The result you'd get is:
id | data
-: | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 | {"owner": {"born": "to make history", "price": 30}}
3 | {"owner": {"born": "to make history", "price": 50}, "seller": {"worth": 30}}

That's a link to the file in which it is not working! If you open it, go to sheet named "My query stinks".
The sheet called deposits has data like this in columns A (date), B (description), and C (amount):
+---+-----------+-----------------+---------+
| | A | B | C |
+---+-----------+-----------------+---------+
| 1 | 6/29/2016 | 1000000044 | 480 |
| 2 | 6/24/2016 | 1000000045 | 359.61 |
| 3 | 8/8/2016 | 201631212301237 | 11.11 |
+---+-----------+-----------------+---------+
The sheet "My Query Stinks" has data in columns A (check number), B (failing query) and C (amount):
+---+-----------------+------+--------+
| | A | B | C |
+---+-----------------+------+--------+
| 1 | 1000000044 | #N/A | 480 |
| 2 | 1000000045 | #N/A | 359.61 |
| 3 | 201631212301237 | #N/A | 11.11 |
+---+-----------------+------+--------+
In Column B on My Query Stinks, I want to enter a query. Here's what I'm trying:
=query(Deposits!A:C,"select A where A =" & A2)
For some reason, it returns "#N/A Error Query completed with an empty output." I want it to find that 1000000044 (the value in C4) matches 1000000044 over on Deposits and return the date.
Try
=query(Deposits!A:C,"select A where B ='" &A2&"'")
Explanation
Values like 1000000044 in Column B of the Deposit sheet and Column A of My Query Stinks sheets are set as text (string) values, so they should be enclosed on single quotes (apostrophes) otherwise QUERY think this values are numbers or variable names.
Try this:
=query(Deposits!A:C,"select A where B = '"&A2&"' LIMIT 1")
You'll need LIMIT 1 as you have multiple deposits for the same value in your second column.
Another solution for this problem could be to replace '=' with 'contains':
=query(Deposits!A:C,"select A where B contains '" &A2&"'")
Simple, but this error cost me half a morning.
I am trying to pass a string into JIRA via an API call and have the string formatted like I have below. String ->
"This is a message with a table. \\\ ||A||B||C|| \\\ |1|2|3| \\\ |4|5|6|"
Expected Output:
This is a message with a table
| A | B | C |
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |
Pretty much what is in the URL below but my line breakers in the message aren't working. Any help is appreciated.
https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/WikiRendererHelpAction.jspa?section=tables
Try \n or even \r\n in your submitted string instead of the \\. I've used \\ when I want to start a new line in JIRA's output, but I think you need the line break on the input here.
This capybara table def in cucumber works:
And the developer adds these attributes:
| el_name | value |
| field_regex | ^area_cd$ |
| default_format | text |
This doesn't:
And the developer adds these attributes:
| el_name | value |
| field_regex | ^(area|zip)_cd$ |
| default_format | text |
The pipe character in the regex is breaking the table parse. I've tried every mechanism of wrapping and escaping I can think of. No joy.
Suggestions?
