library behat_multidimensional_extension

ralfmaxxx/behat_multidimensional_extension

It allows you to create multidimensional TableNode based on dot notation

, _(*1)

Installation

In your behat.yml file just add this:, _(*2)

default:
    extensions:
         TableNode\Extension\NestedTableNodeExtension: ~

From now each TableNode object will be replaced by NestedTableNode instance, which adds one additional method: getNestedHash()., _(*3)

How to use it?

After you install this extension, you can describe your data with dot notation: model.value.something like in this example:, _(*4)

Feature: Something

    Scenario:
        When i do something with article:
            | article.name | author.id |
            | test         | 2         |

And you can take advantage of that in your step definition:, _(*5)

/**
 * @When i do something with article:
 */
public function iDoSomethingWithArticle(NestedTableNode $table)
{
    $table->getNestedHash();
}

Or just you do up to this point:, _(*6)

/**
 * @When i do something with article:
 */
public function iDoSomethingWithArticle(TableNode $table)
{
    /**
    * @var NestedTableNode
    */
    $table->getNestedHash();
}
