Feature: Testing file reading and matching

  Scenario: Read file and match content
    Given the file "file1.txt" exists
    When I read the file
    Then the file should contain the following data
      | data |
      | foo  |
      | bar  |

const fs = require('fs');

Given('the file {string} exists', function (filename) {
  const filePath = `./test-data/${filename}`;

  if (!fs.existsSync(filePath)) {
    throw new Error(`File '${filePath}' does not exist`);
  }

  this.currentFile = filePath;
});

When('I read the file', function () {
  const fileContent = fs.readFileSync(this.currentFile, 'utf8');

  if (!fileContent) {
    throw new Error(`File '${this.currentFile}' is empty`);
  }

  this.currentFileContent = fileContent;
});

Then('the file should contain the following data', function (dataTable) {
  const expectedData = dataTable.raw().slice(1).map(row => row[0]);
  const actualData = this.currentFileContent.split('\n').map(line => line.trim());

  for (const data of expectedData) {
    if (!actualData.includes(data)) {
      throw new Error(`Expected data '${data}' not found in file '${this.currentFile}'`);
    }
  }
});

Feature: Verify file content using regex

  Scenario Outline: Verify file content
    Given the file "<filename>" exists
    When I read the file
    Then the content should match "<content_regex>"

    Examples:
      | filename | content_regex |
      | file1.txt | Hello, (.*)!  |
      | file2.txt | (.*) World!   |

const fs = require('fs');

Given('the file {string} exists', function (filename) {
  if (!fs.existsSync(filename)) {
    throw new Error(`File '${filename}' does not exist`);
  }
});

When('I read the file', function () {
  // Nothing to do here, file contents will be read in next step
});

Then('the content should match {string}', function (content_regex) {
  const fileContent = fs.readFileSync(this.currentFile, 'utf-8');
  const matches = fileContent.match(new RegExp(content_regex));

  if (!matches) {
    throw new Error(`File content does not match '${content_regex}'`);
  }
});
