Feature: Features could be tagged

For picking up tests to run we can use tests selection technique. The problem is that you have to know how your tests are organized, knowing only the feature files organization is not enough. cucumber tags introduces standard way of categorizing your features and scenarios.

Rule:

Background:

• Given File “Passed.feature” with content:

  @passed
  Feature: Steps are executed by corresponding step keyword decorator
    Scenario: Passed
      Given I produce passed test
  

• Given File “Failed.feature” with content:

  @failed
  Feature: Steps are executed by corresponding step keyword decorator
    Scenario: Failed
      Given I produce failed test
  

• Given File “Both.feature” with content:

  @both
  Feature: Steps are executed by corresponding step keyword decorator
    Scenario: Passed
      Given I produce passed test
  
    Scenario: Failed
      Given I produce failed test
  

• Given File “pytest.ini” with content:

  [pytest]
  markers =
    passed
    failed
    both
  

• And File “conftest.py” with content:

  from pytest_bdd.compatibility.pytest import fail
  from pytest_bdd import given
  
  @given('I produce passed test')
  def passing_step():
    ...
  
  @given('I produce failed test')
  def failing_step():
    fail('Enforce fail')
  

Scenario: Run pytest with marker passed

• When run pytest

  cli_args	-m	passed

• Then pytest outcome must contain tests with statuses:

  passed	failed
  1	0

Scenario: Run pytest with marker failed

• When run pytest

  cli_args	-m	failed

• Then pytest outcome must contain tests with statuses:

  passed	failed
  0	1

Scenario: Run pytest with marker passed or failed

• When run pytest

  cli_args	-m	passed or failed

• Then pytest outcome must contain tests with statuses:

  passed	failed
  1	1

Scenario: Run pytest with marker not both

• When run pytest

  cli_args	-m	not both

• Then pytest outcome must contain tests with statuses:

  passed	failed
  1	1

Scenario: Run pytest with marker both

• When run pytest

  cli_args	-m	both

• Then pytest outcome must contain tests with statuses:

  passed	failed
  1	1

Scenario: Run pytest with no marker

• When run pytest

• Then pytest outcome must contain tests with statuses:

  passed	failed
  2	2
