Support multiple languages about gherkin-ruby HOT 11 CLOSED

Any idea on how to start working on this?

from gherkin-ruby.

I need this, I'll start working on it and ask form help if I get stuck... But it looks like I should start from here, right?

https://github.com/codegram/gherkin-ruby/blob/master/lib/gherkin/parser/lexer.rb#L61-104

from gherkin-ruby.

We need to hook into the lexer (defined here, the file you mentioned is autogenerated from this one) to identify the header like:

# language: ca
Feature: Fer alguna cosa

And then use the corresponding set of tokens. The lexer is written in Rexical, so we just need to figure out how to execute some code before, dynamically set which set of tokens are we using, and then let the lexer tokenize the file, and then we're done. Makes sense?

Actually it's very easy, look at this part of the code. Here, before the call to scan_setup(code), we should define an instance variable with a hash or something like this:

locale = code.scan(/language/ bla bla whatever
@tokens = get_tokens_from_locale(locale) # => this would return something like { :When => "Quan", :Then => "Llavors" ... }
scan_setup(code)

And then I don't know how to use these tokens in the lexer. But it's something. What do you think?

Looks nice to me, but I don't see myself succeeding on this alone...

Sorry, I will not contribute because I'm working on my own vegetable: a Gherkin DSL on top of RSpec: https://github.com/21croissants/maniok_bdd/

OK, nevermind.

Hi,

I'm wondering if this feature are planned to be implemented?
