All Implemented Interfaces:

RunnableStory

Direct Known Subclasses:

JUnitStories, JUnitStory

public abstract class AbstractStory
extends java.lang.Object
implements RunnableStory

Abstract implementation of RunnableStory which is intended as a base class with no explicit support for any test framework. It provides the Embedder used to run the story or stories, using the Configuration and the CandidateSteps specified. By default, MostUsefulConfiguration) and Embedder.Embedder() are used, but these can overridden via the RunnableStory.useConfiguration(Configuration) and RunnableStory.useEmbedder(Embedder) methods respectively.

Users need to add the CandidateSteps instances, via the RunnableStory.addSteps(CandidateSteps...) method.

Typically, users that use JUnit will find it easier to extend other implementations, such as JUnitStory or JUnitStories, which implement the RunnableStory.run() via JUnit's annotations.
