I am having a real hard time figuring out what is going wrong with my spec flow feature in VS2012 and or VS2010
I am simply unable to use a single character as a parameter in a step if that character is contained anywhere else in the expression of the step
It never parses correctly and I have tried doing all sorts including using quotes etc, but it would appear that using a single character is just not possible.
Please can someone confirm this is expected or a know issue or even that I am just doing something wrong?
I have tried using SpecFlow 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 (the latest) but neither work.
A simple example that shows my problem would be the following feature/steps
Feature
Feature: Test1
In order to check the id of an object using a character
As a frustrated developer
I want to define a step with a single char as a parameter
@mytag
Scenario: Test single char param of character existing in phrase
Given I have an array of 8 characters
Then the array should contain the character a
Scenario: Test single char param of character not existing in phrase
Given I have an array of 8 characters
Then the array should contain the character z
Steps
public class TestSpecFlow1Steps
{
char[] charArray = new char[] { 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'x', 'y', 'z' };
[Given(@"I have an array of (.*) characters")]
public void CheckArrayCount(int arrayCount)
{
Assert.AreEqual(charArray.Length, arrayCount);
}
[Then(@"the array should contain the character (.*)")]
public void CheckCharaExists(char val)
{
Assert.AreEqual(true, charArray.Contains(val));
}
}
Any help with this would be gratefully accepted.
thanks
