RegexSteps

trait RegexSteps extends AnyRef

This trait provides building blocks to create steps and examples from regular expression.

It is used to implement a Given-When-Then way of describing systems.

Fragments are created by adding a Given step to a Text:

"name: ${user}" ^ givenName

This creates a PreStep object containing the current context (representing all the extracted values) and a list of Fragments containing:

Then, this PreStep object can be followed by another piece of Text to create a PreStepText object. This object merely stores the additional Text fragment so that values can be extracted from it when a When step is added: // this creates a PreStepText object "name: ${user}" ^ givenName ^ "age: ${38}" // this creates a PreStep object "name: ${user}" ^ givenName ^ "age: ${38}" ^ thenAge ^

Eventually, when a Then step is added, a sequence of PostStep/PostStepText objects is created. Those objects use the current context and the results returned by the Then objects to create Examples.

The last PostStep object contains the list of all fragments created by the Given/When/Then sequence:
