Result¶

This page describes the Result steps.

Compare expected and actual result¶

Compare expected and actual result

Sentences¶

Type	Language	Sentence
Then	en	I expect the following results:
Then	nl	verwacht ik het volgende resultaat:
Then	en	I expect the following result:

Arguments¶

The details of every argument of the step are listed below.

Parameter	Datatype	Description
expected results	DataTable	The table with the expected results. See TestDataTable.

Examples¶

 Then I expect the following results:
  | Id | Description    |
  | 1  | 'FirstRow'       |
  | 2  | 'SecondRow' |

 Dan verwacht ik het volgende resultaat:         
  | Id | Description    |
  | 1  | 'FirstRow'       |
  | 2  | 'SecondRow' |

 Then I expect the following result:
  | Id | Description    |
  | 1  | 'FirstRow'       |
  | 2  | 'SecondRow' |

Commandline output¶

After executing a command, the output can be verified using assertion steps. These steps compare the output of the last executed command against an expected value provided as a docstring.

The command output is also logged at INFO level, so it is visible when debug="true" is set in the XTestConfig.

Note: Both the actual output and expected text are normalized before comparison: line endings are unified (\r\n → \n) and trailing whitespace is stripped from each line. This ensures assertions work consistently across Windows and non-Windows platforms.

Commandline output must contain¶

Assert that the output of the last executed command contains the expected text (substring match).

Sentences¶

Type	Language	Sentence
Then	en	`^the commandline output must contain:$`
Then	nl	`^de commandline uitvoer het volgende moet bevatten:$`

Arguments¶

Parameter	Datatype	Description
expected text	String	The text that the command output must contain (docstring).

Examples¶

When I execute the following command
"""
echo Hello World
"""
Then the commandline output must contain:
"""
Hello World
"""

Wanneer ik het volgende commando uitvoer
"""
echo Hallo Wereld
"""
Dan de commandline uitvoer het volgende moet bevatten:
"""
Hallo Wereld
"""

Commandline output must be¶

Assert that the output of the last executed command matches the expected text exactly (after trimming leading/trailing whitespace on both sides).

Sentences¶

Type	Language	Sentence
Then	en	`^the commandline output must be:$`
Then	nl	`^de commandline uitvoer als volgt moet zijn:$`

Arguments¶

Parameter	Datatype	Description
expected text	String	The exact expected command output (docstring). Leading and trailing whitespace is trimmed before comparison.

Examples¶

When I execute the following command
"""
echo Hello World
"""
Then the commandline output must be:
"""
Hello World
"""

Wanneer ik het volgende commando uitvoer
"""
echo Hallo Wereld
"""
Dan de commandline uitvoer als volgt moet zijn:
"""
Hallo Wereld
"""

Store contents of field in variable¶

Fetch the value of a column in the result and store it in a variable. The result should only contain one record. Variables can be used in data tables using the name prefixed with XTestVariabes.

Sentences¶

Type	Language	Sentence
Given	en	^I store the contents of the field (.+) into variable ([a-zA-Z0-9_@$#]+)$

Arguments¶

The details of every argument of the step are listed below.

Parameter	Datatype	Description
field name	String	Name of the field that holds the value to store
variable name	String	Name of the variable used to store the value

Examples¶

 Given I execute the following query on source:
    """
     SELECT TOP 1 CUST_ID FROM CUST_HUB ORDER BY CUST_ID 
    """ 
   And I store the contents of the field Cust_ID into variable CustomerID
   And I insert the following data in demo table CUST_SAT:
  | Id                         | Description |
  | XTestVariables.CustomerID  | &apos;FirstRow&apos;  |

 Given I execute the following query on source:
    """
     SELECT CUST_ID FROM CUST_HUB ORDER BY CUST_ID 
    """ 
   And I store the contents of the field Cust_ID into variable CustomerID
   And I insert the following data in demo table CUST_SAT:
  | Id                            | Description |
  | XTestVariables.CustomerID[0]  | &apos;FirstRow&apos;  |
  | XTestVariables.CustomerID[1]  | &apos;SecondRow&apos;  |
