    • StepFactory

      public StepFactory​(Pages pages)
      Create a new step factory. All web-testing step factories need a Pages object, which is passed to ScenarioSteps objects when they are created.

    • StepFactory

      public StepFactory()
      Create a new step factory without webdriver support. This is to be used for non-webtest acceptance tests.

  • Method Details

    • getFactory

      public static StepFactory getFactory()

    • usingPages

      public StepFactory usingPages​(Pages pages)

    • getSharedStepLibraryFor

      public <T> T getSharedStepLibraryFor​(java.lang.Class<T> scenarioStepsClass)
      Returns a new ScenarioSteps instance, of the specified type. This is actually a proxy that allows reporting and screenshots to be performed at each step.
      Type Parameters:
      T - the scenario step class type
      Parameters:
      scenarioStepsClass - the scenario step class
      Returns:
      the instrumented step library
