Cucumber 5: Get step name from feature file excluding gherkin syntax (given, when, then, and)

Question

So I need to get the test step descriptions after the gherkin syntax

Feature: User trades stocks   Scenario: User requests a sell before close of trading
Given I have 100 shares of MSFT stock
   And I have 150 shares of APPL stock
   And the time is before close of trading

So what I really need is to get the

I have 100 shares of MSFT stock

I have 150 shares of APPL stock

the time is before close of trading

I found these as I update the cucumber to v5.0.0-RC1:

• https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-jvm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

• https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-jvm/pull/1323

Can someone help me with a snippet? What is the object that needs to be passed to the AfterStep and BeforeStep?

Answer 1

This is the code solution (in serviceHook class) for cucumber v4.3.1.

PickleStepTestStep currentStep;
private int counter = 0;

@BeforeStep
public void getStepName(Scenario scenario) throws Exception {

    Field f = scenario.getClass().getDeclaredField("testCase");
    f.setAccessible(true);
    TestCase r = (TestCase) f.get(scenario);

    List<PickleStepTestStep> stepDefs = r.getTestSteps()
            .stream()
            .filter(x -> x instanceof PickleStepTestStep)
            .map(x -> (PickleStepTestStep) x)
            .collect(Collectors.toList());

    currentStep = stepDefs.get(counter);

        System.out.println(currentStep.getStepText());

    }

@AfterStep
public void afterStep(Scenario scenario) {
    counter += 1;
}
