A Swift package for working with gherkin based .feature files.

Warning: This package only handles a limited subset of Gherkin. I'd like to improve this. If you would like to help, see the Gherkin Subset section.

You can initialize a Feature from a String or from some Data. These initializers will throw an Error if the parser cannot read the content.

import Gherkin

do {
  let text = """
             Feature: Registration
             Users may want to register to save lists
             
             Scenario: Successful registration
             Given I am on the registration screen
             When I enter <email> into the email field
             And submit the form
             Then I see the registration page

             Examples:
             | email                  |
             | [email protected]       |
             | [email protected] |
             """

  let feature = try Feature(text)
  print(feature.name) // Registration
  let firstScenario = feature.scenarios[0]
  print(firstScenario.steps.count) // 4

  print(firstScenario.examples) // ["[email protected]", "[email protected]"]
}

The Scenario type is an enum that has two cases .simple(ScenarioSimple) & .outline(ScenarioOutline). The parser ensures that a 'Scenario Outline:' must have at least one example.

To install using Swift Package Manager, add this to the dependencies: section in your Package.swift file:

.package(url: "https://github.com/iainsmith/SwiftGherkin.git", .upToNextMinor(from: "0.1.0")),

let package = Package(
    name: "MyPackage",
    products: [
        .library(
            name: "MyPackage",
            targets: ["MyPackage"]),
    ],
    dependencies: [
        .package(url: "https://github.com/iainsmith/SwiftGherkin.git", .upToNextMinor(from: "0.1.0")),
    ],
    targets: [
        .target(
            name: "MyPackage",
            dependencies: ["Gherkin"])
    ]
)

If you'd like to add any of these please:

1. Add a test case to GherkinTests.swift
2. Update Parser.swift & Transform.swift until all the tests pass
3. Create a Pull Request

Gherkin is built on top of Consumer. You will probably want to read the Consumer documentation to work on the parse & transform.

If you'd like to add a different feature to this library, please raise an issue to discuss the details.

Gherkin is built on top of a parser generator called Consumer by Nick Lockwood.

The Feature type conforms to Codable. It's likely that the JSON representation will not be compatible between versions.
