Getting Started with lemoncheesecake and behave BDD Framework
Listen to this blog

Lemoncheesecake is a very well known Python testing framework. As a test automation services company, we have evaluated this framework for one of your automation testing projects. After the proof of concept stage, we decided to use lemoncheesecake framework to write automation test scripts. Initially, BDD support was not available. However, now you can use behave BDD framework in lemoncheesecake. In this blog article, you will learn how to write BDD tests using lemoncheesecake and behave frameworks.

Step #1: Installation

To setup BDD using behave and lemoncheesecake, you need only two dependencies (behave and lemoncheesecake packages). That’s it.

pip install lemoncheesecake
pip install behave
  

Step #2: Setup LemonCheeseCake Project

Once the required dependencies are installed, you need to create LemonCheeseCake project. There is a command to do that. Run the below command. It will create LemonCheeseCake (LCC) project for you.

lcc bootstrap myproject
  

Step #3: Create a Feature

Create ‘features’ folder inside ‘myproject’ folder. Create a feature file inside the features folder.

Feature: LemonCheeseCake Demo
  Scenario: Demo Scenario
    Given I fill login details
    When I click login button
    Then I should see Home page
  

Step #4: Step Definition

from behave import *

import lemoncheesecake.api as lcc
from lemoncheesecake.matching import *

@given("I fill login details")
def step_impl(context):
    lcc.log_info("Pass")

@when("I click login button")
def step_impl(context):
    lcc.log_info("Pass")

@then("I should see Home page")
def step_impl(context):
    lcc.log_info("Pass")

  

Step #4: Create environment.py

Create environment.py inside myproject folder to install BDD hooks from behave.

from lemoncheesecake.bdd.behave import install_hooks
install_hooks()
  

Step #5: Run

behave features/demofeature.feature
  

Once the execution is complete, you can find LCC HTML report in reports folder. The best thing about LCC is reporting. Your team will love it once they start getting reports from LemonCheeseCake framework.

In Conclusion

Why does one need to integrate behave with LCC? We as a software testing company, write BDD and non-BDD automated scripts using Java, Python, and JavaScript languages. Let’s say for instance if u wish to write automated test scripts for data quality checks and UI validations in a test automation framework. Then LemonCheeseCake and behave combination is the ideal choice. LCC framework is gaining popularity among automation testers. We hope that you have gained some useful insights from this article.
