Jbehave get Story name inside @BeforeStory

Question

I would like to get the Story name in a method annotated with @BeforeStory.

I need this for debugging purposes, cause i'm running a bunch of stories with runStoriesAsPaths and with multiple threads, and I'm trying to log which thread is running which story.

Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

first you need to create a new StoryReporter (extend that class). In that class you can add actions to be performed before/after story/scenario/step, and you have the story name. example:

public class NewStoryReporter implements StoryReporter {

private StoryReporter delegate;

public NewStoryReporter(StoryReporter delegate) {
    this.delegate = delegate;
}

@Override
public void beforeStory(Story story, boolean givenStory) {
    delegate.beforeStory(story, givenStory);
}

@Override
public void beforeScenario(String scenarioTitle) {
    delegate.beforeScenario(scenarioTitle);
}

@Override
public void beforeStep(String step) {
    if(step.equals("When after each step")){
        return;
    }
    delegate.beforeStep(step);
}

then you need to extend StoryReporterBuilder, this creates your NewStoryReporter. example:

public class NewStoryReporterBuilder extends StoryReporterBuilder {

@Override
public StoryReporter build(String storyPath) {
    StoryReporter delegate = super.build(storyPath);
    return new NewStoryReporter(delegate);
}

}

then in your configuration, create an instance of the NewStoryReporterBuilder, and use it in

Configuration configuration = new YourConfiguration().useStoryReporterBuilder(newStoryReporterBuilder....)
