cucumber - Conditional Inputs? -

i'm trying write cucumber test part of our application (i'm new cucumber, , writing acceptance tests really), , have step in test, want 1 of 2 different things. want either check specific value, or check system default value.

this came with

scenario outline: english news   given locale set '<language>'   when user views page   see <image> image   examples:   | language | image        |   | en-gb    | default      |   | fr       | "french.png" | 

this hits 1 of 2 different step definitions,

@and("^they see default image$") public void defaultimage() throws throwable {     // check system default }  @and("^they see \"(.*)\" image$") public void customimage(string image) throws throwable {     // check specific value input } 

is correct way this? tl has suggested should have 1 step def, , pass "default" input, , conditional check inside step def, this:

@and("^they see \"(.*)\" image$") public void checkimage(string image) throws throwable {   if ("default".equals(image)){     // check system default   } else {     // check specific value input   } } 

which correct way this? appreciated.

your default image must have real name, right ? why not validating real name ? because "default" not may understand same thing.

if this, indeed need 1 step def. wouldn't put if check, assert real name. can maybe add comment in example table saying first value default, it's clear in team.
