Error parsing background

[retorquere]

With https://gist.github.com/3e9f6ff73d5caf31acdb, the parser fails with

Error: Error parsing line 12, "@test-cluster-0 @131".
Background requires one or more steps

the background does have a step though. Commenting out line 4+5 makes the error go away.

Suspect it's a bug. If you insert a blank line it will work.

Background:

  When I set preference .citekeyFormat to [auth][year]

This is probably a left over from an earlier version of Yadda when Scenarios could have descriptions. Please leave open and I'll investigate a bit further

[cressie176]

The fix is easy, but want to get some feedback on whether anyone finds background descriptions useful. I've added the following console.log to the latest version of yadda.

It appears that you are using background descriptions that either span
mutliple lines or begin immediately beneath the 'Background' keyword
We are considering removing this feature. Please update
https://github.com/acuminous/yadda/issues/146 if it is important to you
You can disable this message by setting FeatureParser.silence146 to true

If no-ones raised any concerns in the next month I'll bin them.

You mean bin them as in remove the background feature entirely? I don't mind the extra line of whitespace, but to do without background would be a pain.

[cressie176]

No, the background feature is staying. Earlier on in Yadda's lifetime I misunderstood a feature request and added descriptions to scenarios.

Scenario: This is a title
This is a description

The consequence was that you needed to add a blank line before the steps so Yadda could tell the difference between descriptions and step text. It caused no end of problems so I removed it. Looks like I forgot to remove it from Backgrounds

IMHO, background description isn't necessary because the background steps are more or less the descriptions.
