Cucumber web testing - capture vaules

Question

I need to automate a registration form and create a new account and then use the same account details to login with newly created account number and password.I need to do this in one scenario.

Feature: create new user and capture the username, password and try to login with those details.

 Scenario: test
    Given I am on xyz.com
    When I click on register
    Then I will enter required details for registration
    Then I will click on submit
    And I will enter new account details to login to test.

Answer 1

I would not do that in one scenario unless it is one flow. And I wouldn't go to xyz.com, and I wouldn't click on things because that isn't 'behavior. Page objects will help you.

Scenario: Register a new account
Given I do not have an account
When I register a new account
Then I can use those credentials to access the site

Then I'd create appropriate steps

Given(/^I do not have an account%/) do
  @credentials = get_unique_credentials
  @browser = Watir::Browser.new :firefox
end

When(/^I register a new account$/) do
  visit RegistrationPage do |page|
    page.name = @credentials[0]
    page.password = @credentials[1]
    page.register
  end
end

Then(/^I can use those credentials to access the site$/) do
  visit LoginPage do |page|
    page.name = @credentials[0]
    page.password = @credentials[1]
    page.login
  end
  on HomePage do |page|
    expect(page.something).to exist
  end
end
