Jbehave Data Table from External

[jayzsuarez]

@wakaleo is it possible to have my Examples data table from external resource?

e.g. reading from src/test/resources/

Given I want to login: src/test/resources/data.table

[wakaleo]

Not with JBehave or Cucumber, by design - if the data comes from an external source, it’s a test script and not an executable specification, so it would make for poor living documentation.

@wakaleo you mean it will not work from my Data.table as replacement of Examples?

Data.table
|name |rank |
|Larry|Stooge 3|
|Moe |Stooge 1|
|Curly|Stooge 2|

Actually it looks like JBehave does support this format. I don't know what Serenity would do with this format - most of the new development we do is for Cucumber.

Thank you @wakaleo :)
