NAME

pherkin - Execute tests written using Test::BDD::Cucumber

VERSION

version 0.33

SYNOPSIS

pherkin
pherkin some/path/features/

DESCRIPTION

pherkin accepts a single argument of a directory name, defaulting to ./features/ if none is specified. This directory is searched for feature files (any file matching *.feature) and step definition files (any file matching *_steps.pl). The step definitions are loaded, and then the features executed.

Steps that pass are printed in green, those that fail in red, and those for which there is no step definition - or that are skipped as the result of a previous failure - as yellow.

pherkin will exit with a non-zero status if (and only if) the overall result is considered to be failing.

OPTIONS

Controlling @INC

-l, --lib              Add 'lib' to @INC
-b, --blib             Add 'blib/lib' and 'blib/arch' to @INC
-I [dir]               Add given directory to @INC

Output formatting

-o, --output           Output harness to use. Default to 'TermColor'. See 'Outputs'
-c, --theme            Colour theme for 'TermColor'. `light` or `dark`. Defaults to `dark`

Tag specifications

-t, --tags @tag        Run scenarios tagged with '@tag'
-t, --tags @tag1,@tag2 Run scenarios tagged with '@tag1' and '@tag2'
-t, --tags ~@tag       Run scenarios tagged without '@tag'

Help

-h, --help             Print usage information.
--i18n LANG            List keywords for a particular language.
                       '--i18n help' lists all languages available.

OUTPUTS

pherkin can output using any of the Test::BDD::Cucumber::Harness output modules. Test::BDD::Cucumber::TermColor is the default, but Test::BDD::Cucumber::TestBuilder is also a reasonable option:

pherkin -o TermColor some/path/feature   # The default
pherkin -o TestBuilder some/path/feature # Test::Builder-type text output
