What is Specflow scenariocontext?

Hi Mark,

In SpecFlow, ScenarioContext is a context injection mechanism that allows you to share data between different steps of a scenario. It provides a way to pass data between the steps within the same scenario. Each scenario has its own instance of ScenarioContext, and it is generally used to store and retrieve data during the execution of steps.

You can go through the following blog to learn more about it:

Hey Mark,

Hope You are doing well The answer to your query is :-

Dependency Injection (Constructor Injection): Instead of relying on ScenarioContext, you can use dependency injection to pass data between steps. You can create a class to hold the shared data and inject it into your step definitions’ constructors. This approach decouples your steps from the test context, making them more reusable and easier to test. You can also use Scenario hooks,it allows you to define hooks that run before or after scenarios. You can use these hooks to set up and tear down data for each scenario. By storing the data in instance variables of your step definitions, you can share it between steps within the same scenario.

let me know if I can Assist you Mark further if you are unable to understand

Thank you

Hey Mark,

You can create custom context objects to hold shared data. These objects can be injected into your step definitions or accessed through a global/static context. While this approach can work similarly to ScenarioContext, it provides more control over how data is shared and can lead to cleaner, more maintainable code.
