    This is not a great example, but gives you a rough idea of what you can do without duplicating BDD statements

Can you not call the same function?

    You mean in the Then statement? 

    Yes, the function to close the file can be called in Then.

     

    But, when using 'When', sometimes the When statements are common in most tests and not necessarily you will need to call the same function in the common 'When'. So I was thinking if there is a way to avoid duplicate lines in bdd.

     

    Also, calling function internally in Then means the reader won't know if the file was closed.
