CQL is a domain specific language used for querying a Cucumber (or other Gherkin based) test suite. It is written in Ruby and powered by the cuke_modeler gem. The goal of CQL is to increase the ease with which useful information can be extracted from a modeled test suite and turned into summarized data or reports.
Some uses for example are:
- Build systems
- Reporting
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'cql'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install cql
-
Create a new ruby file and require the gem
require 'cql'
-
Start querying things!
The first thing that needs to be done is to create a CQL Repository. This can be done with the following line:
require 'cql'
cql_repo = CQL::Repository.new "/path-to/my/feature-files"
Repositories can also be created from an existing model:
directory = CukeModeler::Directory.new("/path-to/my/feature-files")
cql_repo = CQL::Repository.new(directory)
Now that you have a repository you can write a query. A simple example is given below
cql_repo.query do
select name, source_line
from features
end
This will return a list of all of the feature names and source lines in the form of a list of hashes.
[{'name' => 'Feature 1', 'source_line' => 1},
{'name' => 'Feature 2', 'source_line' => 3},
{'name' => 'Feature 3', 'source_line' => 10}]
Alternatively, you can activate the extensions to the cuke_modeler
gem and query models directly:
require 'cql'
require 'cql/model_dsl'
directory = CukeModeler::Directory.new("/path-to/my/feature-files")
directory.query do
select name, source_line
from features
end
For more information on the query options, see the documentation here.
