Question: What is Cucumber's alternative for JBehave's @Alias annotation?

[edricklacbayo]

Hi @wakaleo is there any alternatives for Jbehave's @alias annotation?

For example, I want to use both annotations on one method.

@given(^I want to get an (.)$)
@alias(^I want to get a (.)$)

Hi, I would also be interested to know if there is?

[wakaleo]

In cucumber you can just repeat the @given annotations

Hi, John.
Please could you share a simple step definition example to show what you mean?

[wakaleo]

@Giveniven(^I want to get an (.)$)
@Given(^I want to get a (.)$)
public void myStepDef(String value) {...}

I am working with TypeScript not Java.

Tried the above syntax in Java and it gave me duplicate tags despite the matchers being different

[wakaleo]

Here is a real example:

    @When("^(.*) opens the product details for \"(.*)\"")
    @When("^(.*) has opened the product details for \"(.*)\"")
    public void viewProductDetails(String actorName, String productName) {
        Actor actor = OnStage.theActorCalled(actorName);
        actor.attemptsTo(ViewInventoryItem.called(productName));
    }

This is a Cucumber question rather than a Serenity one, though, and if you need to know about TypeScript, you sould probably ask the Cucumber Typescript community (Serenity BDD is a Java project).

Thanks John. Okay.
