Output announcement alongside the formatted output. This is an alternative to using Kernel#puts - it will display nicer, and in all outputs (in case you use several formatters)
Suspends execution and prompts question to the console (STDOUT). An operator (manual tester) can then enter a line of text and hit <ENTER>. The entered text is returned, and both question and the result is added to the output using announce.
If you want a beep to happen (to grab the manual tester‘s attention), just prepend ASCII character 7 to the question:
ask("#{7.chr}How many cukes are in the external system?")
If that doesn‘t issue a beep, you can shell out to something else that makes a sound before invoking ask.
Embed file of MIME type mime_type into the output. This may or may not be ignored, depending on what kind of formatter(s) are active.
Invokes a series of steps steps_text. Example:
invoke(%Q{ Given I have 8 cukes in my belly Then I should not be thirsty })
Loads and registers programming language implementation. Instances are cached, so calling with the same argument twice will return the same instance.
Returns a regular String for string_with_triple_quotes. Example:
""" hello world """
Is retured as: " hello\nworld"
Returns a Cucumber::Ast::Table for text_or_table, which can either be a String:
table(%{ | account | description | amount | | INT-100 | Taxi | 114 | | CUC-101 | Peeler | 22 | })
or a 2D Array:
table([ %w{ account description amount }, %w{ INT-100 Taxi 114 }, %w{ CUC-101 Peeler 22 } ])
