Array as argument in Behat step

Question

Is it possible to pass an array as argument in Behat step?

For example want something like this:

When I select <"Alex","Sergey"> in "users"

I know that for this situation I can use:

When I select "Alex" from "users"
And I additionally select "Sergey" from "users"

But the question is about using arrays here.

Answer 1

This is what I came up with

Given "foo" translations equal "[foo,bar,bazz]"

/**
 * @Transform /^\[(.*)\]$/
 */
public function castStringToArray($string)
{
    return explode(',', $string);
}

/**
 * @Given /^"([^"]*)" translations equal "([^"]*)"$/
 */
public function translationsEqual($phraseName, $translations)
{
    // we have an array now
    var_dump($translations);
}
