Legacy Configurations

The Legacy configuration block is a container for switches that maintain backwards compatibility.

These configurations allow for accessing legacy intaQt behavior. The following two configurations are available:

• Isolate Steps/UI Steps Language Contexts - Disables shared scenario execution context and isolates UI Steps and Steps sub-contexts.

• Treat {ident} parameters as {raw} parameters - When active, {ident} parameters will be treated like {raw}.

Legacy Configurations
Isolate Steps/UI Steps Language Contexts
Treat {ident} Parameters as {raw} Parameters

Isolate Steps/UI Steps Language Contexts

intaQt's default behavior is a shared execution context between sub-languages (UI Steps and Steps). For example, a function or context object written in Steps can be accessed in UI Steps, and a function or context object written in UI Steps can be accessed in Steps.

The useIsolatedContexts configuration disables this shared scenario execution context, for example, it isolates UI Steps and Steps sub-contexts.

Important! Isolated contexts are a legacy behavior and should not be used except in rare cases of backwards compatibility. To avoid errors, use intaQt's default behavior.

Syntax

Legacy = {
    useIsolatedContexts = <Boolean>
}

Parameter

• useIsolatedContexts -
  • true isolates the Steps and UI Steps scenario execution contexts
  • false (default) shares the Steps and UI Steps scenario execution contexts

Example

Legacy = {
    useIsolatedContexts = true
}

Test Case Example with Isolated Contexts

In the example below, the isolated behavior (useIsolatedContexts = true) is used. A Steps function writes a variable to the context that is verified from within a Feature File:

stepdef "use context"
    UseContext.putIntoContext("hello", "world")
end

model UseContext
    func putIntoContext(name, value)
        setContextObject(name, value)
    end
end

The associated Feature File includes a variable (soap.hello) prefixed with soap. to indicate that the Steps sub-context is accessed:

Feature: UseContextIsolate

    Scenario: UseContextIsolate

        # Prerequisites
        Given use context
        And verify soap.hello == "world"

Test Case Example with Shared Contexts

In the example below, the default isolated behavior (useIsolatedContexts = false) is used. A Steps function writes a variable to the context that is verified from within a Feature File:

stepdef "use context"
    UseContext.putIntoContext("hello", "world")
end

model UseContext
    func putIntoContext(name, value)
        setContextObject(name, value)
    end
end

Its associated Feature File includes a variable (hello). Unlike the example for the isolated contexts, the variable below does not require a soap. prefix, because the default shared context is enabled.

Example

Feature: UseContextShare

    Scenario: UseContextShare

        # Prerequisites
        Given use context
        And verify hello == "world"

Treat {ident} Parameters as {raw} Parameters

intaQt's default behavior is for {ident} parameters to only match identifiers such as a phone's identifier or the name assigned to an event. These parameters must start with an Alpha character.

When treatIdentAsRaw is set to true, all {ident} parameters are instead treated as {raw} parameters, meaning non-identifiers (such as an IP address) will also be matched.

Syntax

Legacy = {
  treatIdentAsRaw = <Boolean>
}

Parameter

• treatIdentAsRaw
  • true means {ident} parameters are treated as {raw}
  • false maintains intaQt's default behaviour and only matches identifiers against {ident} parameters

Example

Legacy = {
  treatIdentAsRaw = true
}
