Do Fixture performs Method Execution and invokes Flow Fixture Keywords. If the first fixture in a story test page is a Do Fixture, it operates in Flow Mode. If no fixture is operating in Flow Mode, a default Do Fixture is created for the story test page.

Member names are made by concatenating the odd numbered cells. The even numbered cells are input values.

when input is⇓ story test fixture check plain test 'sample do' 'name from first' Bob 'and last' Martin check name 'Bob Martin' sample do name from first Bob and last Martin check name Bob Martin

'sample do' 'name from first' Bob 'and last' Martin check name 'Bob Martin'

then output is

sample do name from first Bob and last Martin check name Bob Martin

A custom keyword, like the Flow Fixture Keywords, can be added to the fixture.

when input is⇓ story test fixture check plain test 'sample do' 'check digit' 5 'check digit' five sample do check digit 5 check digit five

'sample do' 'check digit' 5 'check digit' five

then output is

sample do check digit 5 check digit five

Any execution that returns boolean is colored with the boolean result.

when input is⇓ story test fixture check plain test 'sample do' set 'boolean field' true 'boolean field' set 'boolean field' false 'boolean field' sample do set boolean field true boolean field set boolean field false boolean field

'sample do' set 'boolean field' true 'boolean field' set 'boolean field' false 'boolean field'

then output is

sample do set boolean field true boolean field set boolean field false boolean field

If a fixture is returned, it uses the rest of the current table. The following table returns to Flow Mode.

when input is⇓ story test fixture check plain test 'sample do' set name Kim |'make sample column' name 'name length?' Bob 3 Mike 4 check name Kim sample do set name Kim make sample column name name length? Bob 3 Mike 4 check name Kim

'sample do' set name Kim |'make sample column' name 'name length?' Bob 3 Mike 4 check name Kim

then output is

sample do set name Kim make sample column name name length? Bob 3 Mike 4 check name Kim

If a fixture is named in the first table cell, it uses the table. The following table returns to Flow Mode.

when input is⇓ story test fixture check plain test 'sample do' set name Kim |'sample column' name 'name length?' Bob 3 Mike 4 check name Kim sample do set name Kim sample column name name length? Bob 3 Mike 4 check name Kim

'sample do' set name Kim |'sample column' name 'name length?' Bob 3 Mike 4 check name Kim

then output is

sample do set name Kim sample column name name length? Bob 3 Mike 4 check name Kim

'SetUp' and 'TearDown' methods are called if they exist. When the fixture controls Flow Mode, the teardown is done at the end of the page. Teardown is done even if an exception occurs.

when input is⇓ story test fixture check plain test 'sample do' check one 1 set name Bob throw oops sample do check one 1 set name Bob throw oops oops check log SetUp() One() set_Name(Bob) TearDown()

'sample do' check one 1 set name Bob throw oops

then output is

sample do check one 1 set name Bob throw oops oops

with log

SetUp() One() set_Name(Bob) TearDown()

When another fixture controls Flow Mode, the teardown is done at the end of the table.

when input is⇓ story test fixture check plain test do 'sample do' check one 1 with new 'sample domain' set name Bob do sample do check one 1 with new sample domain set name Bob check log SetUp() One() TearDown() set_Name(Bob)

do 'sample do' check one 1 with new 'sample domain' set name Bob

then output is

do sample do check one 1 with new sample domain set name Bob

with log

SetUp() One() TearDown() set_Name(Bob)
