FeatureContext

There is a FeatureContext as well as the more commonly used ScenarioContext. The difference of course is that the FeatureContext exists during the execution of the complete feature while the ScenarioContext only exists during a scenario.

##FeatureContext.Current

FeatureContext also have a Current property which holds a Dictionary. But I works in exactly the same way as the ScenarioContext.Current so I won’t go into details of it. It’s actually implemented with the same class SpecFlowContext so it IS the same behavior.

##FeatureContext.FeatureInfo

The FeatureInfo is a bit more elaborative than the ScenarioInfo, but it works in the same manner:

In the .feature file: Scenario: Showing information of the feature When I execute any scenario in the feature Then the FeatureInfo contains the following information | Field | Value | | Tags | showUpInScenarioInfo, andThisToo | | Title | FeatureContext features | | TargetLanguage | CSharp | | Language | en-US | | Description | In order to |

and in the step definition: private class FeatureInformation { public string Title { get; set; } public GenerationTargetLanguage TargetLanguage { get; set; } public string Description { get; set; } public string Language { get; set; } public string[] Tags { get; set; } }

    [When(@"I execute any scenario in the feature")]
    public void ExecuteAnyScenario() { }

    [Then(@"the FeatureInfo contains the following information")]
    public void FeatureInfoContainsInterestingInformation(Table table)
    {
        // Create our small DTO for the info from the step
        var fromStep =  table.CreateInstance<FeatureInformation>();
        fromStep.Tags = table.Rows[0]["Value"].Split(',');

        var fi = FeatureContext.Current.FeatureInfo;
        
        // Assertions
        fi.Title.Should().Equal(fromStep.Title);
        fi.GenerationTargetLanguage.Should().Equal(fromStep.TargetLanguage);
        fi.Description.Should().StartWith(fromStep.Description);
        fi.Language.IetfLanguageTag.Should().Equal(fromStep.Language);
        for (var i = 0; i < fi.Tags.Length - 1; i++)
        {
            fi.Tags[i].Should().Equal(fromStep.Tags[i]);
        }
    }

Also I should mention here that FeatureContext exposes a Binding Culture property that simply points to the culture the feature is written in (en-US in our example).
