The Screenplay plugin for SpecFlow.

Inherited Members

Remarks

This plugin class is the test framework integration for SpecFlow. Crucially it adds the Screenplay architecture to the SpecFlow architecture.

Becuase this plugin leverages the SpecFlow/BoDi IObjectContainer, it is likely incompatible with other plugins which integrate with third party Dependency Injection libraries.

This may be easily worked-around, though. If you are using a third-party DI plugin then do not use this plugin. Instead use the AddScreenplay(IServiceCollection) method to add Screenplay to that third-party DI system, when customising the dependency registrations. Adding Screenplay in that way is equivalent to the work done by this plugin.

If you wish to further customise the dependency injection, such as adding injectable services for abilities or implementations of IPersona, add them to the relevant DI container. When using SpecFlow's default BoDi container this is described in the following article https://docs.specflow.org/projects/specflow/en/latest/Bindings/Context-Injection.html#advanced-options. If using a third-party DI container then you should use that container's appropriate mechanism of adding services.

Remarks

This is required because the bindings for beginning/ending the Screenplay in ScreenplayBinding must be static: https://docs.specflow.org/projects/specflow/en/latest/Bindings/Hooks.html#supported-hook-attributes.
