How do I ignore a piece of data in a feature cucumber file?

[Vitaliu2000]

English: How do I ignore a piece of data in a feature cucumber file?

Russian: Как в feature файле cucumber сделать игнорирование части данных?

Example:

English:  I want the test to work positively. The text "ignoring_String" must be ignored.

Russian: Я хочу, чтобы тест отработал положительно. Текст «ignoring_String» должен быть игнорирован.

Feature file:

        When compare text with reference

            |Stream launched 2019-10-2315:40 by admin|

            |Stream launched ignoring_String by admin|

java class:

import io.cucumber.java.en.When;

import java.util.List;

import static org.junit.Assert.assertTrue;

public class MyTestStepdefs {

    @When("compare text with reference")

    public void compareTextWithReference(io.cucumber.datatable.DataTable dataTable) {

        List<List<String>> rows = dataTable.asLists(String.class);

        String text = "Stream launched 2019-10-2315:40 by admin";

        assertTrue(text.equals(rows.get(0).get(0)));

        assertTrue(text.equals(rows.get(1).get(0)));

    }

}

Is this being executed in TestComplete?

Hi @Vitaliu2000, did you figure out the solution?

If not, let's keep working on it here. Please provide more details about your case starting with what tristaanogre is asking - are you executing this in TestComplete? This will help get the investigation going, thank you!

Hello @sonya_m  and @tristaanogre and maybe someone who knows the solution 🙂 

I added the project to github at https://github.com/gitosic/gradest, to show the essence of the problem in more detail.

True, I found an alternative solution, but I'm not sure if this is the best option - https://github.com/gitosic/gradest/blob/18a076a55a0e3741cd42e28b4e859cf450b0b973/src/test/java/com/e...

Once again, I will outline the problem.

On the https://github.com/gitosic/gradest/blob/18a076a55a0e3741cd42e28b4e859cf450b0b973/src/test/java/com/e... line you need to check that there would be a positive check result.

Run test:

RunCucumberTest

Hi,

I skimmed through the project in github and saw nothing related to TestComplete. Thus I assume that your question is not TestComplete-specific and you are just looking for Cucumber-specific one. Am I correct?

Also, all comments in github are in Russian which means an extermely low chances to get assistance from other but Russian-speaking part of this and github community.

Hello @AlexKaras !

Yes you are right. My question does not apply to TestComplete. It turns out that I incorrectly chose the resource where I wrote the question. Ready to delete the question, so as not to violate the policy of posting questions. I apologize! Yes, I'm from Russia and looking for an answer on foreign resources)) it seems like it's normal practice))

@Vitaliu2000 we don't yet have a dedicated Cucumber Community, but you can always address your question to the Cucumber Slack channel. Details here.
