Example: Custom steps with a table

In this example, a step is defined which is going to look for a particular element in the parent container.In this case a span is which contains a specific error message. Makes maximum reuse of ElementDescriptor.

Use

Then the following fields in div "Levering" should have an error:
      | type    | locator  |
      | textbox | Postcode |
      | select  | Cadeau   |
And the following fields in list 1 should have an error:
      | type    | locator  | value 							|
      | textbox | Postcode | specific error message 		|
      | select  | Cadeau   | other specific error message	|

Java Code

	@Then("^the following fields in " + CommonActions.ELEMENT_REGEX + " should have an error:$")
	public void the_following_fields_in_should_have_an_error( String parentType,
	                                                          String parentLocator,
	                                                          Integer parentPosition,
	                                                          List<ElementDescriptor> descriptors ) throws Throwable {
		ElementStub parent = find( parentType, parentLocator, parentPosition );

		for ( ElementDescriptor descriptor : descriptors ) {
			descriptor.setParent( parent );
			ElementStub element = elementHandleService.find( descriptor );
