What is the starting point in JBehave BDD

Question

I have gone though the JBehave official docs and have started making a sample project work. I am clear with the 1. Step1 : Write a story 2. Step2 : Map steps to Java

I am stuck in "Configure Stories" step. There are many options like extending JUnitStories, JUnitStory, Embedder etc. Which one to use ? And how can I make a simple configure story class work.

.withFormats(CONSOLE, TXT, HTML, XML)) is deprecated, so what to use in that place ?
Basically if I directly take the code snippet provided, it gives compilation errors. Could someone help.

Answer 1

1. JUnitStory: provides a one-to-one mapping with the textual story via the StoryPathResolver. JUnitStories: provides a many-to-one mapping with the textual story paths explicitly specified by overriding the storyPaths() method.For your case, extending JUnitStories shall be enough.

2. For the format, please use it as following: StoryReporterBuilder().withDefaultFormats().withFormats(Format.HTML, Format.CONSOLE);

Answer 2

you need import libs belows

import static org.jbehave.core.reporters.Format.CONSOLE;

import static org.jbehave.core.reporters.Format.HTML_TEMPLATE;

import static org.jbehave.core.reporters.Format.TXT;

import static org.jbehave.core.reporters.Format.XML_TEMPLATE;

Answer 3

I looked into the source code and it seems that there are two methods of the same name, one (deprecated) declared as withFormats(Format... formats) and other as withFormats(org.jbehave.core.reporters.Format... formats).

So, in order to use non-depricated version you should write it like this:

new StoryReporterBuilder()
    .withFormats( 
        org.jbehave.core.reporters.Format.CONSOLE,
        org.jbehave.core.reporters.Format.TXT,
        org.jbehave.core.reporters.Format.HTML,
        org.jbehave.core.reporters.Format.XML );
