NAME
Gherkin::TokenScanner - Input-line format abstraction
SYNOPSIS
use Gherkin::TokenScanner;
my $fn = 'my.feature';
my $scanner = Gherkin::TokenScanner->new( $fn );DESCRIPTION
This module implements an input-line format abstraction, returning inputlines from the indicated source. Currently, only text files are supported input formats, but the idea is that e.g. Excel files could be used as input formats as well, with an abstracted definition of "input line".
METHODS
new( $path_or_ref )
Constructor.
The parameter $path_or_ref can be passed either of two types of values:
- A reference to a scalar
-
In this case, the parameter is assumed to reference the content to be parsed.
- A scalar value
-
In this case, the parameter is assumed to be a filename. The file will be opened for input and parsed as a feature file.
read
Returns the next line (Gherkin::Line) token (Gherkin::Token) from the input.
When the end of a file is reached, the file handle is closed.
