Automating Browser with Cucumber with the use of Parameter

Question

How to use parameter for example:

@When("^I enter \"([^\"]*)\" in the Keywords textbox$")
   public void I_enter_in_the_Keywords_textbox(String Job ) throws Throwable{
   driver.findElement(By.id(id)).sendKeys(Job);
 }

In the File I have:

When I enter "<Job>" in the keyword textbox
  |Job|
  |"QA"|
  |"Developer"|

I get Parser Error with gherkin. I tried using datatable, List and every possible way of getting different values but sendkeys doesn't work with Arrays, list or Tables.

Any Help will be greatly appreciated.

Hm, I think you do not need to use quotation marks. I would write `QA` but not `"QA"` — olyv, Apr 12 '14 at 09:37
Unfortunately, Whether the parameters are string or not it is the same error. — Emily, May 08 '14 at 00:00

You should using Scenario Outline like this:

Scenario Outline:Enter job name

 When I enter "<Job>" in the keyword textbox

Examples:

|Job|

|QA|

|Developer|

Indeed this is the issue. Faced the same problem and eventually found this link: https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-jvm/issues/367. After that, it worked great – Tash Pemhiwa Sep 01 '14 at 07:46
