EMP is Class with 3 fields:

Hey i am new to Java I have seen asList() Documentation i didnt understand public List asList(Class itemType)

Type Parameters: T - the type of the list items Parameters: itemType - the type of the list items

  • As an alternative, you can get a List as the input parameter without further conversion.

    @Given("My emp details are $") 
public void my_emp_details_are(List<EMP> lstemp) throws Throwable {}

    if you EMP has the 3 fields (with setter methods) name, sal and address
