Skip and Focus

The Test Runner supports focusing and skipping examples. Let’s see how to do it with TestSlide’s DSL.

Focus

You can focus either the top level context, sub contexts or examples by prefixing their declaration with a f:

from testslide.dsl import context, fcontext, xcontext

@context
def Focusing(context):

  @context.example
  def not_focused_example(self):
    pass

  @context.fexample
  def focused_example(self):
    pass

  @context.sub_context
  def Not_focused_subcontext(context):

    @context.example
    def not_focused_example(self):
      pass

  @context.fsub_context
  def Focused_context(context):

    @context.example
    def inherits_focus_from_context(self):
      pass

And when run with --focus:

Focusing
  *focused example: PASS
  *Focused context
    *inherits focus from context: PASS

Finished 2 example(s) in 0.0s:
  Successful:  2
  Not executed:  2

Skip

Skipping works just the same, but you have to use a x:

from testslide.dsl import context, fcontext, xcontext

@context
def Skipping(context):

  @context.example
  def not_skipped_example(self):
    pass

  @context.xexample
  def skipped_example(self):
    pass

  @context.example(skip=True)
  def skipped_example_from_arg(self):
    pass

  @context.example(skip_unless=False)
  def skipped_example_from_unless_arg(self):
    pass

  @context.sub_context
  def Not_skipped_subcontext(context):

    @context.example
    def not_skipped_example(self):
      pass

  @context.xsub_context
  def Skipped_context(context):

    @context.example
    def inherits_skip_from_context(self):
      pass

Skipping
  not skipped example: PASS
  skipped example: SKIP
  skipped example from arg: SKIP
  skipped example from unless arg: SKIP
  Not skipped subcontext
    not skipped example: PASS
  Focused context
    inherits focus from context: SKIP

Finished 4 example(s) in 0.0s:
  Successful:  2
  Skipped:  2
