How to write cucumber Step definitions in python

Question

I am new to the Cucumber framework. I am trying to make Cucumber work with Python. I have written the feature file and want to know how to write the step definitions in Pyth

Answer 1

Check out behave, behaviour-driven development library, Python style.

Behavior-driven development (or BDD) is an agile software development technique that encourages collaboration between developers, QA and non-technical or business participants in a software project. We have a page further describing this philosophy.

behave uses tests written in a natural language style, backed up by Python code.

It doesn't use Cucumber, but you can reuse .feature files because they use the same Gherkin language.

Sample behave's step definition:

from behave import *

@given('we have behave installed')
def step_impl(context):
    pass

@when('we implement a test')
def step_impl(context):
    assert True is not False

@then('behave will test it for us!')
def step_impl(context):
    assert context.failed is False
