generate Gauge test specifications

Covers Markdown Java QA JavaScript Python Testing Ruby

Description

Generates Gauge test specifications in Markdown with step implementations in Java, Python, JS, or Ruby. ThoughtWorks' test automation framework. Use when user mentions "Gauge", "spec file", "## Scenario", "step implementation". Triggers on: "Gauge", "Gauge spec", "Gauge framework", "ThoughtWorks test".

Core Patterns

Specification (specs/login.spec)

# Login Feature

## Successful Login
* Navigate to login page
* Enter email "user@test.com"
* Enter password "password123"
* Click login button
* Verify dashboard is displayed
* Verify welcome message contains "Welcome"

## Invalid Credentials
* Navigate to login page
* Enter email "wrong@test.com"
* Enter password "wrong"
* Click login button
* Verify error message "Invalid credentials" is shown

## Login with multiple users
|email             |password |expected  |
|-----------------|---------|----------|
|admin@test.com   |admin123 |Dashboard |
|user@test.com    |pass123  |Dashboard |
|bad@test.com     |wrong    |Error     |

* Login as <email> with <password>
* Verify <expected> page is shown

Step Implementation — Java

import com.thoughtworks.gauge.Step;
import com.thoughtworks.gauge.Table;

public class LoginSteps {
    WebDriver driver;

    @Step("Navigate to login page")
    public void navigateToLogin() {
        driver.get("http://localhost:3000/login");
    }

    @Step("Enter email <email>")
    public void enterEmail(String email) {
        driver.findElement(By.id("email")).sendKeys(email);
    }

    @Step("Enter password <password>")
    public void enterPassword(String password) {
        driver.findElement(By.id("password")).sendKeys(password);
    }

    @Step("Click login button")
    public void clickLogin() {
        driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("button[type='submit']")).click();
    }

    @Step("Verify dashboard is displayed")
    public void verifyDashboard() {
        assertTrue(driver.getCurrentUrl().contains("/dashboard"));
    }
}

Step Implementation — Python

from getgauge.python import step
from selenium import webdriver

@step("Navigate to login page")
def navigate_to_login():
    driver.get("http://localhost:3000/login")

@step("Enter email <email>")
def enter_email(email):
    driver.find_element_by_id("email").send_keys(email)

@step("Click login button")
def click_login():
    driver.find_element_by_css_selector("button[type='submit']").click()

Concepts (Reusable Step Groups — specs/concepts/login.cpt)

# Login as <email> with <password>
* Navigate to login page
* Enter email <email>
* Enter password <password>
* Click login button

Setup: gauge install java (or python, js, ruby)

Init: gauge init java

Run: gauge run specs/ or gauge run specs/login.spec

Cloud Execution on TestMu AI

Set environment variables: LT_USERNAME, LT_ACCESS_KEY

// StepImplementation.java
ChromeOptions browserOptions = new ChromeOptions();
HashMap<String, Object> ltOptions = new HashMap<>();
ltOptions.put("user", System.getenv("LT_USERNAME"));
ltOptions.put("accessKey", System.getenv("LT_ACCESS_KEY"));
ltOptions.put("build", "Gauge Build");
ltOptions.put("platformName", "Windows 11");
ltOptions.put("video", true);
ltOptions.put("console", true);
browserOptions.setCapability("LT:Options", ltOptions);
Driver.setWebDriver(new RemoteWebDriver(
    new URL("https://hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub"), browserOptions));

Tags: gauge run --tags "smoke" (use Tags: smoke in spec)
