Shell commands

You can run shell commands from within your feature file to transform some datas with annotations, to do so you need first to define in the config an alias and afterwards you can simply "comment" the line before the line you want to transform with that alias. For instance let say @json calls behind the curtain jq, we could validate and format some json in our feature like so :

Feature: A Feature
  Description

  Scenario: A scenario to test
    Given a thing
    # @json
    """
    {
      "test": "test"
    }
    """

Config

Defaut config is to use 2 spaces for indentation.

It's possible to override configuration by defining a .ghokin.yml file in the home directory or in the current directory where we are running the binary from :

indent: 2
aliases:
  json: "jq ."

Aliases key defined shell commands callable in comments as we discussed earlier.

It's possible to use environments variables instead of a static config file :

export GHOKIN_INDENT=2
export GHOKIN_ALIASES='{"json":"jq ."}'

Contribute

If you want to add a new feature to ghokin project, the best way is to open a ticket first to know exactly how to implement your changes in code.

Setup

After cloning the repository you need to install vendors with go mod vendor To test your changes locally you can run go tests with : make test-all
