Class GlueCodeScanner

java.lang.Object
com.arc_e_tect.gradle.gherkin.glue.GlueCodeScanner
public class GlueCodeScanner extends Object
Scans a directory of Cucumber-JVM glue code (step definition source files) and extracts every @Given/@When/@Then step definition pattern as a compiled Expression.

Step definitions are matched with a regular expression over the raw source text rather than a full Java/Kotlin parser, since only the string literal passed to the annotation is needed. Both Cucumber Expressions and regular-expression step patterns are supported, since ExpressionFactory auto-detects which kind a given pattern is.
