    Hello,

     

    Finally your R&D show me a better solution:

    • In CucumberStudio set 0 as default value for numeric parameter (add = 0)
    • and the following step implementation can be used:
    @Given("a price of "(.*)"$")
    public void a_price_of(double price) {
        //....
    }

     

    The deal is that numeric types can't be used in annotations but it is acceptable

Hi julien-le-foll,

Thanks for submitting your question to the CucumberStudio community. I was told that you are already working with the R&D team on this topic. Please continue working with them and share the solution with us.

Hello,

 

R&D replied me that they won't be able to fix it quickly.

For the time being here the workaround that I suggested to our dev team:

1/ use string parameter in feature files such as:

Feature: numeric arguments are lost

  Scenario Outline: show loss of numeric types
    Given a price of "<price>"
    And the price parameter is an int in step implementation
    When the scenario is uploaded to cucumberStudio
    Then the price parameter becomes a string

    Examples:
    | price |
    | 30 |
    | 40 |

2/ Parse strings in step's implementation:

@Given("a price of {string}")
    public void a_price_of(String sInt1) {
        int int1 = Integer.parseInt(sInt1);
        //....
    }
