Method Detail

getStepLibraryFor

public <T> T getStepLibraryFor(Class<T> scenarioStepsClass)

Returns a new ScenarioSteps instance, of the specified type. This is actually a proxy that allows reporting and screenshots to be performed at each step.

getNewStepLibraryFor

public <T> T getNewStepLibraryFor(Class<T> scenarioStepsClass)

getUniqueStepLibraryFor

public <T> T getUniqueStepLibraryFor(Class<T> scenarioStepsClass)

instantiateNewStepLibraryFor

public <T> T instantiateNewStepLibraryFor(Class<T> scenarioStepsClass)

Create a new instance of a class containing test steps. This method will instrument the class appropriately and inject any nested step libraries or other dependencies.

instantiateNewStepLibraryFor

public <T> T instantiateNewStepLibraryFor(Class<T> scenarioStepsClass,
                                 net.sf.cglib.proxy.MethodInterceptor interceptor)

Create a new instance of a class containing test steps using custom interceptors.
