Recipe 40Test Erlang Code

Problem

You want to test your Erlang code using Cucumber-like syntax.

Ingredients

  • cucumberl,[266] a pure Erlang implementation of basic Cucumber syntax

  • rebar[267] for building cucumberl

Solution

cucumberl is an Erlang test framework that uses a subset of Cucumber’s Gherkin syntax for describing test features. For this recipe, we’re going to write a simple feature and connect it to Erlang step definitions. We’ll start by installing cucumberl and its dependencies using your current Erlang installation. Then, we’ll write a simple feature and see how to connect it to step definitions written in Erlang. Finally, we’ll see how Erlang’s pattern matching makes it easy to write multiple step definitions.
