I would like to retrieve the scenario state in the "After" scenario hook. I noticed that the .failed? method does not consider pending steps as failed steps.
So How can I determine that a scenario did not execute completely, because it failed OR because some steps were not implemented/defined.
You can use status method. The default value of status is :skipped, the failed one is :failed and the passed step is :passed. So you can write something like this:
do sth if step.status != :passed
Also, if you use !step.passed? it does the same thing because it only checks for the :passed status.
http://cukes.info/api/cucumber/ruby/yardoc/Cucumber/Ast/Scenario.html#failed%3F-instance_method
On that subject, you can also take a look at this post about demoing your feature specs to your customers: http://multifaceted.io/2013/demo-feature-tests/
LiohAu, you can use the 'status' method on a scenario itself rather than on individual steps. Try this: In hooks, add
After do |scenario|
p scenario.status
end
This will give the statuses as follows:
Any step not implemented / defined, it'll give you :undefined
Scenario fails (when all steps are defined) :failed
Scenario passes :passed
Using the same hook, it'll give you the status for scenario outline, but for each example row (since for each example row, it is an individual scenario). So if at all you want the result of an entire outline, you'll need to capture result for all example rows and compute the final result accordingly.
Hope this helps.

Using serenity-js, with cucumber and screenplay, i can't get to pass data from one step to another. E.g. : a "When" step defined by a pretty user.attempsTo() that simply calls a webservice, and a "Then" step that should simply checks the response of the webservice. "TakeNote" forgets the data of the previous step ( as i could see, even surprising) and "LastResponse" context might be lost also...
I guess there is a simple way to store an object (as a Question maybe) in one Activity of the "When" step, and get back this object in an Activity of the "Then" step.
Without Serenity, i would use a World object that is clearly a simple way to do the job, but i'm sure there a Serenity pretty way to do the trick.
Thank you.

I tried to pass the object with LastResponse, with TakeNotes. But the object seems to be lost.
I found what was wrong (answering to myself).
user.attempsTo() is actually processed prior to the next step only if a resolution of the promise is asked, so if preceded by return, or await, or if it is declared as an implicit return using arrow function like this ( user :Actor) => attempsTo(...) ).
Without the promise resolution, interactions are not executed in the described sequence, and this is really no good.
The symptom for a bad code is that the interactions are not logged in their steps, but in step further. Hope this helps.
It seems to be a simple question but I have a hard time to find an answer to it. I already have a project with several parameters (project and database parameters). I would like to obtain the LCA results for several scenarios with my parameters having different values each time. I was thinking of the following simple procedure:
change the parameters' value,
update the exchanges in my project,
calculate the LCA results.
I know that the answer should be in the documentation somewhere, but I have a hard time to understand how I should apply it to my ProjectParameters, DatabaseParameters and ActivityParameters.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Thanks to #Nabla, I was able to come up with this:
For ProjectParameter
for pjparam in ProjectParameter.select():
if pjparam.name=='my_param_name':
break
pjparam.amount = 3
pjparam.save()
bw.parameters.recalculate()
For DatabaseParameter
for dbparam in DatabaseParameter.select():
if dbparam.name=='my_param_name':
break
dbparam.amount = 3
dbparam.save()
bw.parameters.recalculate()
For ActivityParameter
for param in ActivityParameter.select():
if param.name=='my_param_name':
break
param.amount = 3
param.save()
param.recalculate_exchanges(param.group)
You could import DatabaseParameter and ActivityParameter iterate until you find the parameter you want to change, update the value, save it and recalculate the exchanges. I think you need to do it in tiers. First you update the project parameters (if any) then the database parameters that may depend on project parameters and then the activity parameters that depend on them.
A simplified case without project parameters:
from bw2data.parameters import ActivityParameter,DatabaseParameter
# find the database parameter to be updated
for dbparam in DatabaseParameter.select():
if (dbparam.database == uncertain_db.name) and (dbparam.name=='foo'):
break
dbparam.amount = 3
dbparam.save()
#there is also this method if foruma depend on something else
#dbparam.recalculate(uncertain_db.name)
# here updating the exchanges of a particular activity (act)
for param in ActivityParameter.select():
if param.group == ":".join(act.key):
param.recalculate_exchanges(param.group)
you may want to update all the activities in the project instead of a single one like in the example. you just need to change the condition when looping through the activity parameters.
I have one Copy activity and two stored Proc Activity and i want to basically update the status of my pipeline as Failed in Logtable if any of these activities failed with error message details. Below is the flow of my pipeline
I wanted to use If-Condition activity and need help in setting the expression for it. For Copy activity i can use the below expression, but not sure about getting the status of stored Proc activity
#or(equals(activity('Copy Data Source1').output.executionDetails[0].status, 'Failed'), <expression to get the status of Stored Proc>)
If the above expression is true then i want to have one common stored proc activity that i will set in Add If True Activity to log the error details
Let me know if this possible.
I think you have overcomplicated this.
A much easier way to do that is to leverage a Failure path for required activities. Furthermore, SP would not be executed when Copy Data fails, therefore checking the status of execution of SP doesn't really make sense.
My pipeline would look like this:
I have a test case in SoapUI NG Pro which has the following steps:
POST REST Request that starts a process
JDBC Request where I check that the process Start Date has been logged to a database table
Delay (to simulate the time it takes for the process to run)
JDBC Request where I check that the End Date and Duration have been logged to the table
I would like to capture the timestamp of the POST Request to use within my assertions in steps 2 and 4.
I have looked around online and some people have mentioned using Events while others have mentioned using a Script TestStep but I haven't been able to get either to work.
I can get the POST Response timestamp but am looking for the Request timestamp in particular. I also noticed that there is a timestamp in the Request Log but again I don't know how to access that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Its probably also worth mentioning that I am using JavaScript instead of Groovy.
You can add a Script Assertion for the Soap Request test step and add the below statement in order to show the time taken.
log.info messageExchange.response.timeTaken
If you want the above value to be accessible in other steps, then use below(which stores the value to test case level, so that it is easy to access the test case property in other steps of the same test case):
context.testCase.setPropertyValue('TIME_TAKEN', messageExchange.response.timeTaken.toString())
In the later steps, use Property Expansion to read the test case level property value
def timeTaken = context.expand('${#TestCase#TIME_TAKEN}') as Integer
I'm trying to write a step that will match the following steps that are similar and capture parameters:
Step1: And I delete the filter(s) using the "UI"
Step2: Then I delete the filter(s) using the "API" for "doc-browser" context
Step3: I delete the filter(s) using the "API" for "doc-browser" context with user "file_user2"
I don't want to create 3 separate steps, they all start with I delete the filter using the #{arg} and the last 2 just extend on that.
I thought this was going to accomplish it:
And(/^I delete the filter\(s\) using the "([^"]*)"(?: for "([^"]*)" context| with user "([^"]*)")?/) do |delete_method, context, user|
case delete_method
when 'API'
if user.nil?
SearchFilters.new.delete_global_local_filters(delete_method, api_context_val: context)
else
SearchFilters.new.delete_global_local_filters(delete_method, { api_context_val: context, username: user })
end
when 'UI'
SearchFilters.new.delete_global_local_filters(delete_method, filter_name: #filter_name)
end
end
However, I'm not capturing my username.
Is it possible to accomplish having one step definition that captures all 3 variations and still captures my arguments?
Just duplicating my mailing list answer in case anyone else is interested in this question.
I understand you don't want to use three different steps, but in this case you really should because
The implementation of each step is a clear one liner, so you are removing a case statement.
The regex for this step is horrible and you will be removing that
Each individual step provides the opportunity to simplify the parameters being passed, you have 2 API and one UI paramter which can just be removed entirely (if I understand the code correctly you can remove all the params and regexs)
This is a clear case where a little bit of repetition is a price well worth paying for a simpler implementation.
Reducing the number of step definitions by using regex's and params is often an anti-pattern.
All best
