Setting up jBehave for a product on Foldering

Ryan Morlok

I'm trying to get jBehave working for the Rattlesnake project on Foldering, and when I try to run my tests I get the following exception:


org.jbehave.scenario.errors.BeforeOrAfterException: Method Method.overRideSessionBindingStubDefault, annotated with BeforeScenario failed.

Does anyone know what's required to get jBehave to work on a product that pulls in platform code?

While I haven't fully resolved the issue (read: I'm on to a different stack trace), I have been able to get past this issue. The high level summary is that the jBehave tests depend on a build step to copy all the files it needs into bin/WEB-INF, and this build step isn't available by default for products.

Steps I did to resolve the issue:

* Copy WebContentAntScript.xml from Foldering/ant to RattlesnakeFoldering/ant
* Modify the WebContentAntScript.xml file to copy files from Foldering/bin to RattlesnakeFoldering/bin, then copy Rattlesnake compiled classes into RattlesnakeFoldering/bin/WEB-INF/classes
* Modify configuration settings for paths RattlesnakeFoldering/ant/ant-global.properties
* Add WebContentAntScript.xml as a build step in the RattlesnakeFoldering project
* Modify the Java Build Path settings for RattlesnakeFoldering to dump compiled test files to RattlesnakeFoldering/bin-test and set the default output folder for the rest of the target to RattlesnakeFoldering/bin/classes (from where I set the WebContentAntScript.xml to copy them to their final resting place for the jBehave tests)
