[Cucumber] [Ruby] is there possibility to run in parallel ParameterType regex and pure step regex?

[s***@gmail.com]

Hi guys!

So, I have, i.e. next two steps:
And('Custom ParameterType {pt_test}') do |pt_test|

end

And(/^Another custom ParameterType (.+)$/) do |pt_test|

end

and next ParameterType:
ParameterType(
name: 'pt_test',
regexp: /.+/,
type: String,
transformer: -> (str) { require 'pry'; binding.pry; str }
)

The steps above uses the same regex, so can I somehow split this steps, so
first can be wrapped by ParameterType and second not?

Thank you for help,
Serhii

When you define a parameter type, that parameter type's regexp will be used
in all matches, whether they are from Cucumber Expressions (as your first
stepdef) or a Regular Expression (as your second one).

If you want regexp matches to use a *different* parameter type, you can
define another parameter type with the same regexp, and pass in the option
prefer_for_regexp_match: true. (The value defaults to false if you don't
specify it).

If you don't plan to use this parameter type from a Cucumber Expression,
just give it an arbitrary name. (A future release might allow you to omit
the name altogether).

Hope this helps,
Aslak
