Gherkin syntax `And` and `But`

[corrado4eyes]

And or But keywords is kind of syntactic sugar for the Gherkin syntax. They are used to avoid to be repetitive when describing some scenarios.

Instead of writing

feature("Some feature") {
    scenario("Some scenario") {
        given("The user is logged in") {
            // initialise user to be logged off
        }
        given("The user is not premium") {
            // initialise non premium user
        }
        then("The user should see the Home view") {
            // assert that the user sees the Home view and not another
        }
        then("The user should see the Upgrade button") {
            // assert toolbar is visible
        }
    }
}

One could simplify it

feature("Some feature") {
    scenario("Some scenario") {
        given("The user is logged in") {
            // initialise user to be logged off
        }.but("The user is not premium") {
            // initialise non premium user
        }
        
        then("The user should see the Home view") {
            // assert that the user sees the Home view and not another
        }.and("The user should see the Upgrade button") {
            // assert toolbar is visible
        }
        
    }
}

To note that but and and are basically an extension of then, when and given builder methods
