There are different archetypes available for
JBehave, lets look at some of them...
Archetype 1: jbehave-simple-archetype
URL -
Command to download the project via mvn:
mvn archetype:generate
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.jbehave
-DarchetypeArtifactId=jbehave-simple-archetype
-DarchetypeVersion=3.9.5
-DarchetypeRepository= https://nexus.codehaus.org/content/repositories/releases/org/jbehave/jbehave-simple-archetype/
Comments on this archetype:
- Change to the latest version
- This is the most simplest of the project structures that we have
with jbehave. Its the default one that I use, and gradually 'build-out' as
the project evolves.
- This does not have the selenium jars by default
- You can grow this project by adding maven dependencies in the
pom.xml
- You don’t need a selenium-only archetype because we are not going
to work on a selenium-only framework, we need a simple archetype to start
with, and build it as we grow.
Archetype 2: jbehave-web-selenium-java-spring-archetype
URL -
Command to download the project via mvn:
mvn archetype:generate
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.jbehave.web
-DarchetypeArtifactId=jbehave-web-selenium-java-spring-archetype
-DarchetypeVersion=3.5.5
-DarchetypeRepository= https://nexus.codehaus.org/content/repositories/releases/org/jbehave/web/jbehave-web-selenium-java-spring-archetype/
Comments on this archetype:
- This has details of implementation for etsy, and is not a blank
project like the simple archetype.
- The implementation appears complex like that of LT
- It does not seem to recognise the steps, so something is missing.
Who knows if its due to the project being 3 years old!
- This does not have the selenium jars by default
- There are 3 different 'Stories' file which might be helpful in
figuring out the different configurations for jbehave.
- Also, though the LT framework had jbehave core+web, selenium, fluentlenium,
spring, hamcrest and hibernate, you dont have to adopt all of these right
now in your framework, because it would be too time consuming to do a PoC
with all these. And even then, the LT framework did not have any
data-driving capabilities!
- Spring is a framework that provides APIs to avoid low
level coding, for example connecting to a db.
- Hibernate is a framework for mapping RDBMS or DBs like
Sybase, MS SQL Server, etc; where the db tables and entities are exposed
as objects that can be used in java code.
