A Fixture Wrapper is a fixture that is created automatically to process a return value from Method Execution in Flow Mode. The new fixture processes the rest of the table with the wrapped value as its System Under Test.

Any enumerable return type is processed by an Array Fixture.

when input is⇓ story test fixture check plain test |'sample domain' 'get people' Bob-Martin,Mike-Stockdale 'first name' 'last name' Bob Martin Mike Stockdale sample domain get people Bob-Martin,Mike-Stockdale first name last name Bob Martin Mike Stockdale

|'sample domain' 'get people' Bob-Martin,Mike-Stockdale 'first name' 'last name' Bob Martin Mike Stockdale

then output is

sample domain get people Bob-Martin,Mike-Stockdale first name last name Bob Martin Mike Stockdale

To use a different fixture for an enumerable return type, use the Use Fixture.

when input is⇓ story test fixture check plain test |'sample domain' use set with 'get people' Mike-Stockdale,Bob-Martin 'first name' 'last name' Bob Martin Mike Stockdale sample domain use set with get people Mike-Stockdale,Bob-Martin first name last name Bob Martin Mike Stockdale

|'sample domain' use set with 'get people' Mike-Stockdale,Bob-Martin 'first name' 'last name' Bob Martin Mike Stockdale

then output is

sample domain use set with get people Mike-Stockdale,Bob-Martin first name last name Bob Martin Mike Stockdale

when input is⇓ story test fixture check plain test |'sample domain' use subset with 'get people' Mike-Stockdale,Bob-Martin 'first name' 'last name' Bob Martin sample domain use subset with get people Mike-Stockdale,Bob-Martin first name last name Bob Martin

|'sample domain' use subset with 'get people' Mike-Stockdale,Bob-Martin 'first name' 'last name' Bob Martin

then output is

sample domain use subset with get people Mike-Stockdale,Bob-Martin first name last name Bob Martin

A dictionary is wrapped in a Set Fixture. The dictionary values are checked.

when input is⇓ story test fixture check plain test |'sample domain' 'make dictionary' 'first name' 'last name' Mike Stockdale Bob Martin sample domain make dictionary first name last name Mike Stockdale Bob Martin

|'sample domain' 'make dictionary' 'first name' 'last name' Mike Stockdale Bob Martin

then output is

sample domain make dictionary first name last name Mike Stockdale Bob Martin

To check dictionary keys and values, we need a method to extract the key value pairs.

when input is⇓ story test fixture check plain test |'sample domain' 'make key values' key value key1 value1 key2 value2 sample domain make key values key value key1 value1 key2 value2

|'sample domain' 'make key values' key value key1 value1 key2 value2

then output is

sample domain make key values key value key1 value1 key2 value2

A data table is wrapped in an Array Fixture.

when input is⇓ story test fixture check plain test |'sample domain' 'make data table' column1 column2 value1 value2 sample domain make data table column1 column2 value1 value2

|'sample domain' 'make data table' column1 column2 value1 value2

then output is

sample domain make data table column1 column2 value1 value2

An XML document is wrapped in an Xml Fixture.

when input is⇓ story test fixture check plain test |'sample domain' 'make xml' root '' child text sample domain make xml root child text

|'sample domain' 'make xml' root '' child text

then output is

sample domain make xml root child text

If the return value is not a fixture, enumerable or a primitive type, it is wrapped in a Do Fixture.

when input is⇓ story test fixture check plain test 'sample do' set name Mike 'make person with first' Bob 'and last' Martin check 'first name' Bob check 'last name' Martin check name Mike sample do set name Mike make person with first Bob and last Martin check first name Bob check last name Martin check name Mike

'sample do' set name Mike 'make person with first' Bob 'and last' Martin check 'first name' Bob check 'last name' Martin check name Mike

then output is

sample do set name Mike make person with first Bob and last Martin check first name Bob check last name Martin check name Mike

This wrapping can occur from within the wrapping fixture.

when input is⇓ story test fixture check plain test 'sample do' 'make person with first' Bob 'and last' Martin 'full name' check first Bob check last Martin sample do make person with first Bob and last Martin full name check first Bob check last Martin

'sample do' 'make person with first' Bob 'and last' Martin 'full name' check first Bob check last Martin

then output is

sample do make person with first Bob and last Martin full name check first Bob check last Martin
