How to pass spaces in table (specflow scenario)?
I would do this:
Given the following books
| Author | Title |
| "J. K. Rowling" | "Harry P " |
| " Isaac Asimov " | "Robots and Empire" |
Then your bindings can be made to strip the quotes if present, but retaining the spaces.
I think this is much preferable to the idea of adding spaces afterward, because that isn't very human readable - quotations will make the spaces visible to the human (stakeholder / coder) reading them.
You can work around it by adding an extra step. Something like:
Given the following books
|Author | Title |
Add append <5> spaces to book title
Edit:
A complete feature can look something like:
Scenario: Adding books with spaces in the title
Given the following book
| price | title |
And <5> spaces appended to a title
When book is saved
Then the title should be equals to <title without spaces>
