NAME

       Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepContext - Data made available to step definitions

VERSION

       version 0.11

DESCRIPTION

       The coderefs in Step Definitions have a single argument passed to them, a "Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepContext" object. This is an attribute-
       only class, populated by Test::BDD::Cucumber::Executor.

ATTRIBUTES

   data
       Step-specific data. Will either be a text string in the case of a """ string, or an arrayref of hashrefs if the step had an associated
       table.

   stash
       A hash of hashes, containing three keys, "feature", "scenario" and "step".  The stash allows you to persist data across features,
       scenarios, or steps (although the latter is there for completeness, rather than having any useful function).

   feature
   scenario
   step
       Links to the Test::BDD::Cucumber::Model::Feature, Test::BDD::Cucumber::Model::Scenario, and Test::BDD::Cucumber::Model::Step objects
       respectively.

   verb
       The lower-cased verb a Step Definition was called with.

   text
       The text of the step, minus the verb. Placeholders will have already been multiplied out at this point.

   harness
       The Test::BDD::Cucumber::Harness harness being used by the executor.

   matches
       Any matches caught by the Step Definition's regex. These are also available as $1, $2 etc as appropriate.

METHODS

   background
       Boolean for "is this step being run as part of the background section?".  Currently implemented by asking the linked Scenario object...
