Gwen 3 Release
What's New
Add Gwen to your JS project
You can now add Gwen to projects using npm and have all your executable Gherkin living next to your code and integrated into your development and testing process.
Thanks to Ruby Juric for building gwen-web-npm.
Init
project command
A new gwen init
command initialises Gwen in your project directory by creating the following:
- Project, browser, and environment level settings files
- Feature and meta subdirectories
- Sample feature and meta files
- Docker files
- Jenkins pipeline file
You also get automatic gwen udpates by default.
HOCON and JSON settings
Two new settings formats are now supported in addition to properties:
- HOCON (Human-Optimized Config Object Notation)
- A superset of JSON
- JSON
- Pure JSON format
Better defaults for better Gherkin
The gwen.feature.mode
setting now defaults to declarative instead of imperative to keep DSL steps confined to meta and out of feature specifications.
The gwen.behavior.rules
setting now defaults to strict instead of lenient to enforce correct behavioural semantics and proper Given-When-Then order.
Pretty logging
Gwen now logs pretty execution results to the console.
New CLI option for verbose logging
Use the new -v|--verbose
CLI option for verbose logging instead (equivalent to Gwen 2 logging).
Configurable CLI options
CLI options are now configurable enabling you to customize your own Gwen launch profile.
Selenium 4
The embedded web engine now uses Selenium 4
New DSLs have been added to support:
Support for W3C compliant capabilities has been added, since v3.20.0:
