Features required for implementing Grakn client
Background keyword
The Background feature is used extensively. It is used to run multiple Given
statements before executing each scenario.
Doc strings
Not to be confused with Julia doc strings. It is a multi-line string that is passed to the step's context in the text attribute. See behave's documentation.
Example:
Scenario: write data in a schema session throws
When connection create database: grakn
Given connection open schema session for database: grakn
When session opens transaction of type: write
Then graql define
"""
define person sub entity;
"""
Then graql insert; throws exception containing "session type does not allow"
"""
insert $x isa person;
"""
Scenario: for many databases, open many sessions
When connection create databases:
| alice |
| bob |
| charlie |
| dylan |
| eve |
| frank |
When connection open sessions for databases:
| alice |
| bob |
| charlie |
| dylan |
| eve |
| frank |
Then sessions are null: false
Then sessions are open: true
Then sessions have databases:
| alice |
| bob |
| charlie |
| dylan |
| eve |
| frank |
Comments
Comments exists throughout the Grakn feature files for documentation purpose.
# Given all answers are correct in reasoned database
# There are 3^4 possible choices for the set {$x, $y, $z1, $z2}, for a total of 81
# Given answer size in reasoned database is: 81
Out of order steps
Sometimes When is provided before Given. It seems to be backward and not a good practice to provide the trigger prior to listing the pre-conditions? Perhaps we should talk to the Grakn team to fix it on their side.
Example:
Scenario: an abstract entity type can be defined
When graql define
"""
define animal sub entity, abstract;
"""
Then transaction commits
Then the integrity is validated
Given session opens transaction of type: read
When get answers of graql match
"""
match $x type animal; $x abstract;
"""
Then uniquely identify answer concepts
| x |
| label:animal |
Interleaving When and Then's
Grakn's features definitions are long and often embedding multiple, interleaving When's and Then's. It seems to be a bad practice. However, asking them to fix is probably going to be a huge undertaking. We should probably support that regardless.
Scenario: Relation with role players can be created and role players can be retrieved
When $m = relation(marriage) create new instance with key(license): m
Then relation $m is null: false
Then relation $m has type: marriage
Then relation(marriage) get instances contain: $m
When $a = entity(person) create new instance with key(username): alice
When $b = entity(person) create new instance with key(username): bob
When relation $m add player for role(wife): $a
When relation $m add player for role(husband): $b
Then relation $m is null: false
Then relation $m has type: marriage
Blank lines
Sometimes there are additional blank lines between When's and Then's in the same scenario. The python behave parser seems to be more relaxed than ExecutableSpecifications.jl at the moment.

Not to be confused with Julia doc strings. It is a multi-line string that is passed to the step's context in the text attribute. See behave's documentation.
Example:
Data tables
Data tables are used extensively. It appears that implementation differs in language bindings. For example, the Java implementation maps to a number of data structures. In Python, the behave package simply returns an object that implements some kind of Table API.
