StepEventBus.getEventBus.enableSoftAssert() is not working for cucumber test

[remyanekkuth]

@wakaleo
I have a cucumber test in which we want to validate some negative scenarios but with enableSoftAssert() and didableSoftAssert(). Expectation is even though one step fails the test will continue, but actual is the first assertion fails, the test failed and skipped rest of the lines.

We have same scenarios written in jUnit and enableSoftAssert() and disableSoftAssert() working as expected.

We are using serenity-cucumber 6 : version 2.3.10

Need some help on how to make this work for cucumber tests.

Can anyone help on this. Appreciate some inputs

Soft assertions across steps are not supported.

@wakaleo is it only with the version. How can I use soft assert in cucumber in this case. Please provide some guidelines

Cucumber does not support this either. If you want soft asserts you can place all of your expectations in a tabular format, e.g.

    Scenario: Mandatory fields for registration
      Given Candy does not have a Frequent Flyer account
      When she wants to register as a Frequent Flyer member
      Then the following information should be mandatory:
        | Field     | Error Message If Missing     |
        | email     | Please enter your email      |
        | password  | Please enter your password   |
        | firstName | Please enter your first name |
        | lastName  | Please enter your last name  |
        | address   | Please enter your address    |
        | country   | Please enter a valid country |

If you have many steps with verifications your scenario may be a bit long.
