Description
Would like to segregate data from story file so that maintenance between stories and datas can be easy.
For example,
Given I log into mail account as user $username with password $password
example
username xxx
password xxx.
Would like to keep the example part in one file(.xml or text file) and .story file may not have example part. I want to create a mapping between $username from .story file and the data 'xxx' from .xml/.txt file. When Jbehave executes the scenario in step file, it should able to read the data('xxx') from data file and map to appropriate filed($username). Is this possible in present Jbehave framework? Could help us to do this
You can parametrise a scenario using the table data loaded from a separate file:
