Feature: Feature files search is started from base directory

By default, pytest-bdd-ng will use current module’s path as base path for finding feature files, but this behavior can be changed in the pytest configuration file (i.e. pytest.ini, tox.ini or setup.cfg) by declaring the new base path in the bdd_features_base_dir key. The path is interpreted as relative to the pytest root directory. You can also override features base path on a per-scenario basis to override the path for specific tests.

Background:

• Given File “Passing.feature” in the temporary path with content:

  Feature: Passing feature
    Scenario: Passing scenario
      Given Passing step
    Scenario: Failing scenario
      Given Failing step
  

• And File “conftest.py” with content:

  from pytest_bdd import step
  from pytest_bdd.compatibility.pytest import fail
  
  @step('Passing step')
  def _():
    ...
  
  @step('Failing step')
  def _():
    fail('Intentional')
  

• And File “test_feature.py” with content:

  from pytest_bdd import scenarios
  
  test = scenarios('Passing.feature')
  

Scenario:

• Given File “pytest.ini” with fixture templated content:

  [pytest]
  bdd_features_base_dir={tmp_path}
  

• When run pytest

• Then pytest outcome must contain tests with statuses:

  passed	failed
  1	1
