Writing code for your test cases
This page will describe how you can start putting actions behind the steps you have written in `Writing_gherkin_test_cases_in_cucumber`.
Step definitions
Start by opening the following files:
/yourproject/features/step_definitions/interactions_steps.rb
/yourproject/features/example.feature
As you can see, the step Given I navigate to Google in english
is defined in the interaction_steps.rb file as following:
Given(/^I navigate to (.*) in (.*)$/) do |site,language| #... code here... end
When you are executing your scenarios, with every step you run, the system will search for a definition of that step. If a Defined Step matches the Step in the scenario, it will run the code in the brackets of the step definition. <blocknote> Actually all definitions are loading before it starts going through the steps, but it's simpler to see it as every step being looked up. </blocknote>
Making a custom step
Let's start by creating a new scenario in example.feature
