SpecFlow.Assist.Dynamic 1.4.2

SpecFlow.Assist.Dynamic

SpecFlow.Assist.Dynamic is a couple of simple extension methods for the SpecFlow Table object that helps you to write less code.

What would you rather write? This:

[Binding]
public class StepsUsingStaticType
{
 private Person _person;

 [Given(@"I create an instance from this table")]
 public void GivenICreateAnInstanceFromThisTable(Table table)
 {
 _person = table.CreateInstance<Person>();
 }

 [Then(@"the Name property on Person should equal '(.*)'")]
 public void PersonNameShouldBe(string expectedValue)
 {
 Assert.AreEqual(expectedValue, _person.Name);
 }
}

// And then make sure to not forget defining a separate Person class for testing, 
// since you don't want to reuse the one your system under test is using - that's bad practice

// Should probably be in another file too...
// might need unit tests if the logic is complicated
public class Person
{
 public string Name { get; set; }
 public int Age { get; set; }
 public DateTime BirthDate { get; set; }
 public double LengthInMeters { get; set; }
}

Or this:

[Binding]
public class StepsUsingDynamic
{
 private dynamic _instance;

 [Given(@"I create an instance from this table")]
 public void c(dynamic instance) { _instance = instance; }

 [Then(@"the Name property should equal '(.*)'")]
 public void NameShouldBe(string expectedValue) { Assert.AreEqual(expectedValue, _instance.Name); }
}

The later version uses SpecFlow.Assist.Dynamic. Shorter, sweater and more fun!

well, this is may be one of the best usecase for dynamic i have ever seen

A happy SpecFlow.Assists.Dynamic user
