Cucumber example - test::unit, scenario outlines, datafile driven test

Another Cucumber example - this time using test::unit, and with tables of cases in both the feature file and a separate data file.

Running the code:

  WomanWithCat:s2015 grahamellis$ cucumber behaviourtable

  Feature: Checking some things on quotations

  

    Scenario: Checking VAT rules                            # behaviourtable/quotation.feature:4

      Given I ask for a quotation                           # behaviourtable/step_definitions/quotation_steps.rb:40

      Then Check against each example in a file or database # behaviourtable/step_definitions/quotation_steps.rb:44

        tested SN12 5RR

        tested Belgium

        tested 90211

  

    Scenario Outline: Checking area identification                  # behaviourtable/quotation.feature:8

      Given I ask for a quotation for "" postcode # behaviourtable/step_definitions/quotation_steps.rb:27

      When I visit our quotation web page                           # behaviourtable/step_definitions/quotation_steps.rb:32

      Then I am told it is valid for ""                  # behaviourtable/step_definitions/quotation_steps.rb:36

  

      Examples: 

        | locationpostcode | placename  |

        | CA5 1RJ          | Whitehaven |

        | 12345            | New York   |

        | Spain            | Madrid     |
