How to pass spaces in table ?
Background:
Given the following books
|Author |(here several spaces)Title(here several spaces)|
I would do this:
Given the following books
| Author | Title |
| "J. K. Rowling" | "Harry P " |
| " Isaac Asimov " | "Robots and Empire" |
Then your bindings can be made to strip the quotes if present, but retaining the spaces.
I think this is much preferable to the idea of adding spaces afterward, because that isn't very human readable - quotations will make the spaces visible to the human (stakeholder / coder) reading them.
You can work around it by adding an extra step. Something like:
Given the following books
|Author | Title |
Add append <5> spaces to book title
Edit:
A complete feature can look something like:
Scenario: Adding books with spaces in the title
Given the following book
| price | title |
And <5> spaces appended to a title
When book is saved
Then the title should be equals to <title without spaces>
I just faced same situation, my solution was this, added spaces in the step as follows:
Scenario: Adding books with spaces in the title
Given the following book ' <title> '
When book is saved
Then the title should be equals to '<title>'
| price | title |
| 50.00 | Working hard |

I would like to add the vertical pipes so that I can have my data table down there under "Examples" feature in Specflow. Anyone to give me any tip so I can go through it?. My scenario outline looks like:
#mytag
Scenario Outline: Check Noun Words
Given Access the AnalyzeStateless URL
And language code
And content of <Sentence>
And the Expected KeyWord <Expected KeyWords>
And the Expected Family ID <Expected FID>
And the index <Index>
When return the XML response
Then the keyword should contain <FamilyID>
Examples:
| Index | Sentence | Expected KeyWords | Expected FID |
| 1 | I need a personal credit card | personal | 92289 |
The "Examples" feature has been manually entered in above case. I have a thousand of rows on an excel file, any appropriate way to get all of the values in one go?
Have you looked at Specflow.Excel which allows you to keep your examples in your excel files?
I have a table in README.md file in TFS like this:
| Tables | Are | Cool |
| ------------- |:-------------:| -----:|
| col 3 is | right-aligned | $1600 |
| col 2 is | centered | $12 |
| zebra stripes | are neat | $1 |
It's work. But I need to shift this table to the right by tab character. And if I place tab (or space character) before table rows it's not recognize as table and just print as plain text. HTML tag also doesn't work in TFS.
How I can move table?
Unfortunately shift table is not supported in Markdown.
Markdown does not provide any special syntax for tables.
Please see Syntax guidance for Markdown files, widgets, wikis, and pull request comments for details.
I can think of is that you can capture a screenshot for the table, render the captured image, check in the image, then Add image to your Markdown file.
But please note that just as Waylan mention in below comments : For screenshot of a table, the text will no longer be searchable and cannot be copy and pasted by the user. And any future edits will require recreating the entire table.
I am looking for a solution to extract the list of concepts that a text (or html) document is about. I'd like the concepts to be wikidata topics (or freebase or DBpedia).
For example "Bad is a song by Mikael Jackson" should return Michael Jackson (the artist, wikidata Q2831) and Bad (the song, wikidata Q275422). As this example shows, the system should be robust to spelling mistakes (Mikael) and ambiguity (Bad).
Ideally the system should work across multiple languages, it should work both on short texts and long texts, and when it is unsure it should return multiple topics (eg. Bad song + Bad album). Also, it should ideally be open source and have a python API.
Yes, that sounds like a list for Santa Claus. Any ideas?
Edit
I checked out a few solutions, but no silver bullet so far.
NLTK parses text and extract "named entities" (AFAIU, a part of a sentence that refers to a name), but it does not return Wikidata topics, just plain text. This means that it will likely not understand that "I shot the sheriff" is the name of a song by Bob Marley, it will instead treat this as a sentence.
OpenNLP does roughly the same.
Wikidata has a search API, but it's just one term at a time, and it does not handle disambiguation.
There are a few commercial services (OpenCalais, AlchemyAPI, CogitoAPI...) but none really shines, IMHO.
You can use Spacy to retrieve Named Entity then link them to WikiData using the search API.
For what remains of the sentence that is not matched as named entity by Spacy you can create a list of ngrams from the sentence starting with the biggest ngram you use the WikiData search API to lookup WikiData topics.
POS tagging can be put to good use, that said syntax parse informations is more powerful since you can know the relations between the words. For instance given the following output from link-grammar:
Found 8 linkages (8 had no P.P. violations)
Linkage 1, cost vector = (UNUSED=0 DIS= 0.15 LEN=9)
+-------------------------Xp-------------------------+
+----------->WV---------->+ |
+-------Wd------+ +---------Osn--------+ |
| +---G---+----Ss---+----Os----+ | |
| | | | | | |
LEFT-WALL Bob.m Marley[!] wrote.v-d Natural[!] Mystic[!] .
You can tell that the subject is “Bob Marley” because
“wrote” is connected to “Marley” with a S which connects subject nouns to finite verbs.
“Marley” is connected to “Bob” using a G which connects proper noun together.
So a “Bob Marley” is a good candidate for an entity (also it has both word capitalized).
Given the above parse "tree" it difficult to tell whether “Natural” and “Mystic” are related even if they are on the same side of the sentence.
The second parse provided by link grammar has the same cost vector and links together “Natural Mystic” with again a G.
Here is it:
Linkage 2, cost vector = (UNUSED=0 DIS= 0.15 LEN=9)
+-------------------------Xp-------------------------+
+----------->WV---------->+ |
+-------Wd------+ +---------Os---------+ |
| +---G---+----Ss---+ +----G----+ |
| | | | | | |
LEFT-WALL Bob.m Marley[!] wrote.v-d Natural[!] Mystic[!] .
So in my opinion “Bob Marley” and “Natural Mystic” are good candidate for a wikidata search.
That was the easy problem where grammar and spelling are correct.
Here is one parse out of 11 of the same sentence with lower cases:
Linkage 1, cost vector = (UNUSED=1 DIS= 0.15 LEN=14)
+------------------------Xp------------------------+
+----------------------Wa---------------------+ |
| +------------------AN-----------------+ |
| | +-------------AN-------------+ |
| | | +----AN---+ |
| | | | | |
LEFT-WALL Bob.m marley[?].n [wrote] natural.n mystic.n .
LG doesn't even recognize the verb.
I am writing a specflow scenario with multiple input and output parameters (about 4-5 each). When using scenario outline, I need to write a wide table giving both input and output columns in the same row. Is there any way where I can specify the examples separately for the step definitions? This is for improved readability.
Current state
Given - State of the data
When I trigger action with parameters <input1> and <input2> and ...
Then my output should contain <output1> and <output2> ...
Examples:
| input1 | input2 |... | output1 | output2 |...
Can I do this?
Given - State of the data
When I trigger action with parameters <input1> and <input2> and ...
Examples of input
Then my output should contain <output1> and <output2> ...
Examples of output
No, unfortunately that (or anything similar) is not possible.
You could make your inputs and outputs more abstract and possibly merge a few columns. Example: instead of Country | PostalCode | City | Street | House | Firstname | Lastname | etc. you should have | Address | Job title | with values like "EU", "US, missing postal code", "HQ" for the address.
You can't have multiple Example tables for scenario outline but you can pass in data tables for regular scenarios.
The data table will be accessible only to the step that uses it, however you could save it in Scenario Context for subsequent steps.
Not sure if this will work for you if your scenario is complex and spans multiple lines but I thought I'd mention it.
Scenario: Checking outputs for inputs
Given - State of the data
When I trigger action with the following parameters
input1 | input2 | input3 |
data | data | data |
Then my output should contain the following outputs
output1 | output2 | output3 |
data | data | data |
I am new to BDD specflow.
I have to write a scenario wherein after I capture an image, i have to select a value for each defined attribute for that image from a selection list
For Eg:
|Body Part |Location |Group |
| Leg | Left | Skin |
| Hand | Upper | Burn |
| Arm | Right | Ulcer |
I need a way in which i can select a different value for each attribute, every time.
Thanks in advance!
You are looking for Scenario Outline;
Scenario outlines allow us to more concisely express these examples through the use of a template with placeholders, using Scenario Outline, Examples with tables and < > delimited parameters.
Specflow takes each line in the Example table and create from the line a scenario to execute.
