BDDx

Run Behavior-Driven Development tests inside a CLI

What is BDDx?

• Write tests in Gherkin, Cucumber's simply structured plain-text language
• Upload BDD test files in bulk,
• Run tests to execute them line by line for all your files
• Get a detailed summary on what failed and why
• Failed tests can be made to automatically result in a Jira task or Github issue to automate the fixing process

CLI commands:

Installation and initialization:

Remember that Node is required

Description	Command
to install BDDx:	npm i bddx
to initialize BDDx (with optional Jira integration):	npx bddx init
to initialize only BDDx Jira integration without changing the basic configuration:	npx bddx jiraInit
to check if the Jira API token is working correctly1 :	npx bddx checkToken
to connect to bddx cloud2 :	npx bddx cloud

¹If there's a problem with the loop BDDx will ask the user to provide the correct token value.

²User should create project and generate project key

Config file:

After initializing the config file contains:

{
  "in": "./bddx/tests",
  "out": "./bddx/results",
}

or when Jira is integrated:

{
   "in": "./bddx/tests",
   "out": "./bddx/results",
    "organizationName": "organizationName.atlassian.net",
    "projectName": "ProjectName",
    "issueTypeName": "TASK"
}

• in: string - input folder with the test files, (default: "./bddx/tests")
• out: string - output folder where the test result files are saved, (default: "./bddx/results")

The e-mail and Jira API token are saved locally on the machine to ensure safety!

Running tests

Description	Command
to run all .feature tests and save results in a file in the output directory:	npx bddx
to run all .feature tests and create a task for each failed one on the configured Jira:	npx bddx jira
to select an unfinished session and continue the tests from that point (you will also be asked about Jira usage):	npx bddx continue
to run all failed .feature tests in selected source and submit results to the bddx cloud:	npx bddx failedTest
