There are 2 parsers:
* (cf)parse: supports syntax like {paramName:d} or custom types: {paramName:Foo}. Foo must be mapped to real type by behave and pytest-bdd using different approaches.
* re: supports regexp. By default types are strings, but pytest-bdd can match param names to certain types.
And there are 2 frameworks (each of them supports both parsers):
* behave
* pytest-bdd
Parsers are implemented as PyBDDParser inheritors (and called *processors for historical reasons) and by PyBDDMatcher instances.
Frameworks are implemented by PyStepDefinition inheritors.
PyStepDefinition's know to how to:
* fetch type-alias-to-type or argument-name-to-type mappings
* find step definition expression in decorator
Parsers know how to:
* convert step definition to python regexp
* get argument types using information from PyStepDefinition's
PyCharm Community Edition
The "python" directory in the source repository contains the source code of PyCharm Community Edition and the Python plugin for IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition.
Building and Running
The code is part of the main IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition project and is compiled together with the rest of the codebase.

Building the Python Plugin
To build the Python plugin for IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition:
-
Download the .tar.gz distribution of the most recent EAP or release build of IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition;
-
Run the following command:
ant -Didea.path= -Didea.build.number=<build number of the build you're using> plugin
The .zip file of the built plugin will be placed at distCE/python-community-.SNAPSHOT.zip
