A sphinx extension for behave to auto document.
To add auto behave to your sphinx modify conf.py
by adding auto behave to extensions like so:
extensions = ['..', '..', 'auto_behave']
To enable auto behave's rst generation modify conf.py
by adding the following to the bottom:
from auto_behave.gen_step_rst import generate_step_rst_files
generate_step_rst_files('abs/path/to/project', 'rel/path/features/dir', 'rel/path/doc/features')
Auto behave's rst generation supports both the standard behave & more custom folder structure layouts.
features ├── environment.py ├── order.feature │ └── steps ├── add.py └── remove.py
features ├── environment.py ├── order | ├── create_order.feature │ └── steps | ├── add.py | └── remove.py | └── steps ├── __init__.py ├── navigation.py └── common.py
By default behave doesn't allow you to have step files in different directories outside a single step folder. Being locked to single folder becomes a problem with a large scale project. To get around behave's limitation within behave's step directory i.e.
features/steps
create __init__.py
and import all other steps files that are not in this directory i.e.
# features/steps/__init__.py
import features.order.steps.add
import features.order.steps.remove
You can of course create your own rst for more manual approach by using autobehave directive, like so:
Order Steps
===========
.. autobehave::
features.order.steps.add
features.order.steps.remove
