Test-Driven Java Development, Second Edition - Second Edition

JBehave runner

JBehave is no exception to the rule that every type of test needs a runner. In the previous chapters, we used JUnit and TestNG runners. While neither of those needed any special configuration, JBehave is a bit more demanding and forces us to create a class that will hold all the configuration required for running stories.

The following is the Runner code that we'll use throughout this chapter:

public class Runner extends JUnitStories { 
 
  @Override 
  public Configuration configuration() { 
    return new MostUsefulConfiguration() 
                  .useStoryReporterBuilder(getReporter()) 
                  .useStoryLoader(new LoadFromURL()); 
  } 
 
  @Override 
  protected List<String> storyPaths() { 
    String path = "stories/**/*.story"; 
    return new StoryFinder().findPaths( CodeLocations.codeLocationFromPath("").getFile(), ...
