Configuration

behave-data can be configured via a YAML or JSON file, or directly in code.

behave_data.yml

Create a behave_data.yml in the root of your project:

null_markers:
  - ""
  - "null"
  - "None"
  - "N/A"
  - "n/a"

secret_backend: file
secret_path: secrets/
load_base_dir: features/data/

behave_data.json

{
  "null_markers": ["", "null", "None", "N/A"],
  "secret_backend": "file",
  "secret_path": "secrets/",
  "load_base_dir": "features/data/"
}

In code

from behave_data import Config

config = Config(
    null_markers=frozenset({"", "null", "N/A"}),
    secret_backend="env",
    secret_path="secrets/",
    load_base_dir="features/data/",
)

Options

Option	Default	Description
null_markers	{"", "null", "None", "N/A"}	Values converted to None
secret_backend	"file"	Backend for secret: placeholders
secret_path	"secrets/"	Base path for file: secrets
load_base_dir	"features/data/"	Base path for dynamic Examples

Loading config manually

from behave_data import Config

config = Config.from_file("behave_data.yml")

If the file does not exist, a default Config() is returned.

Passing config to setup_data

from behave_data import setup_data, Config

def before_all(context):
    setup_data(context, Config.from_file("config/behave_data.yml"))

Passing config to typed_wrap

from behave_data import typed_wrap, Config

config = Config(null_markers=frozenset({"", "missing"}))
result = typed_wrap(context.table, config).typed_dicts()
