Logics

What logics are ?

Logics are elements to use in the condition command to add more complexity into your scenario. This Logics are classes extending Automate\Transformer\Logic\Logic and implementing answeredBy method. Logics only use variable scopes to get data and provide helper methods to achieve that. This is a basic example :

<?php

namespace MyNamespace\Logics;

use Automate\Transformer\Logic\Logic;

class MyLogic extends Logic
{
    public function answeredBy() : bool
    {
        $scenario = $this->getScenarioVariable('myScenarioVariable');
        $world = $this->getWorldVariable('myWorldVariable');
        $spec = $this->getSpecVariable('mySpecVariable');

        $or = $this->get(Scope::SCENARIO, 'myScenarioVariable');

        return true;
    }
}

Also you will need to add the logics configuration lines in your configuration file. This is the configuration part that is not required for AutoMate if you don't use Logics.

logics:
  namespaces:
    logics: 'MyNamespace\Logics'
    others: 'MyOtherNamespace\Another\Logics'
  valueAtException: false

namespaces

Detail all the namespaces to where your logics belong. logics and others are the name used in your scenario in the condition command like (based on the example above) :

condition:
  logic: logics.MyLogic
  correct:
    steps:
      - go: http://test.fr
  incorrect:
    steps:
      - go: http://mytestfailed.fr

This follow the pattern namespace_name.class but you can also only use the class name as logic: MyLogic and AutoMate will test this classname for every namespace you configured.

valueAtException

This is the default value if the answeredBy from your logic throw an Exception. This can help.

Hints

Logics are not blocking the execution. If it throws an exception, the LogicExecutor will just throw an event LOGIC_EXCEPTION and the PrintListener will print the Exception class.
