Cucumber 2.3.2: Step data tables not present in JSON report

[azohra]

Hi,

I have just recently converted to using the JSON formatter as it is much easier to merge results when running with parallel_tests. However, I noticed that my step tables are not being written to the default JSON report which cucumber builds. Is this expected behavior? If so, are there any alternative paths available to me?

Example Scenario:

  Scenario: Leave First Name Blank
    When I go to the registration page
    And I register an account using:
      | register_first_name      |               |
      | register_last_name      | Bueller       |
      | register_username       | ~username       |
      | register_phone             | 4112223333      |
      | register_extension        | 999           |
      | register_password        | ~password     |
      | register_agree_to_terms  | ~true         |
      | register_signup_for_mail | ~false        |
    Then exactly (1) [validation_error] should be visible
    And I should not be logged in

Example JSON output:

        "id": "member-registration;leave-first-name-blank",
        "keyword": "Scenario",

Hey folks, Am I posting in the wrong place? It would be great to understand if this is an issue or simply a limitation of the JSON formatter.

[brasmusson]

The data tables was lost from v2.0.0 to v2.0.1 when the JSON formatter was rewritten to the new formatter API (#851), which fixed at lot of other problems with the JSON formatter. The JSON formatter should be updated to include the data tables again.

@brasmusson is there anywhere to submit a donation / 'buy a beer' or any other form of monetary contribution to yourself or the cucumber group? I am very thankful for this fix.
