godog VS Gauge

I also use BDD (Gherkin with godog in particular) to verify and document the expected behaviour of a product from an end user's perspective when needed. I usually do this when the product also contains untested code that I have no control over when I'm working on a problem - this gives me peace of mind over something I can't control while doubling as documentation.

It looks like it is not possible to share steps between scenario's or features. In https://github.com/cucumber/godog it is possible to share steps.

Differences between gherkingen and godog are:

Selenium is cool but https://gauge.org/ really cuts down on the boilerplate and is a lot more lightweight, may want to give it a look too

This actually reminds me a lot of Gauge from Thoughtworks: https://github.com/getgauge/gauge

It's typically paired with Taiko for test automation, but generally speaking it's a markdown to logical instruction engine.

I dig it, but also worth taking a look at what the Thoughtworks team has done especially around the VS Code tooling and language server work that they did to bring intellisense into their Markdown templates.

Easily create your plugin using the open-source Gauge API.
