How to get multiline strings in Examples in Scenario Outline in cucumber tests to work?

Question

I would like to use multiline strings in the Examples section of The Scenario Outline. How to do that ?

eg

Scenario Outline:
  Given something
  When `<action>` happens
    I should get elaborative `<duuh>`
  Examples:
    |action|duuh|
    |"""
    tututuut
    """|"""blablabla m
    ultiline"""|

it does not look clean neither works

Answer 1

What I did, was to separate the long strings in files (in my case it was pieces of json) and when I need the strings, I just load the needed file.

I did it in Grails, but should be very similar:

Method to read the file

static String getMockJsonFile(String fileName){
    new File("${BOOKING_JSON_FILES_PATH}${fileName}.json").text
}

Json file

"collectionSummary": {
"attempts": [
{
"collectionMethod": {
"creditCardCollectionMethod": {
"id": 2,
"collectionMethodType": "CREDITCARD",
"creditCardType": {
"code": "CA",
"name": "Master Card Credit"
}
}
},
"billingCurrency": "EUR"
}
],
"creationDate": "2017-05-30 14:46:19",
"currency": "EUR",
"collectedAmount": 9.1
}

If you set """ triple quotes in the file, the string result will have it too.
