It would be nice if parameters defined with <<
could reference previous definitions. Then one could do things like this to make one's tests more robust to refactoring:
where:
IDENTIFIER = 'fooId'
snippet << ["""<label for="${IDENTIFIER}"/><input type="text" id="${IDENTIFIER}" />"""]
However, this is not currently possible:
- Parameters defined with
=
can reference ones defined previously - Parameters defined with
<<
or in table format cannot reference ones defined previously, not even those defined with=
Example: https://github.com/emlun/spock-parameter-cross-reference-fail/blob/master/src/test/groovy/Foo.groovy
It would also be nice if parameters in table format could reference other parameters as well, but I suspect its usefulness is more limited.
