If you find you’d like your step implementation to invoke another step you may do so with the Context

method execute_steps().

Step Parameters

Improve Active-Tags Logic

· if multiple active-tags with same category are used

· combination of positive active-tags (use.with_{category}={value}) and negative active-tags


(not.with_{category}={value}) with same category are now supported
Active tags contains the value which is passed as a constraint to the step defenation and the active tags
are implemented in the evironment.py

The feature object contains now a language attribute that contains the information which language was
used during Gherkin parsing.

Default Tags

It is now possible to define default tags in the configuration file. Default tags are used when you do not
specify tags on the command-line.

Runner Improvements
Hook Errors cause Failures

The behaviour of hook errors, meaning uncaught exceptions while processing hooks, is changed in this
release. The new behaviour causes the entity (test-run, feature, scenario), for which the hook is
executed, to fail. In addition, a hook error in a before_all(), before_feature(), before_scenario(), and
before_tag() hook causes its corresponding entity to be skipped.

Context-based Cleanups

It is now possible to register cleanup functions with the context object. This functionality is normally
used in:

Using a Fixture
Realistic Example

A more realistic example by using a fixture registry is shown below:


behave-parallel

Known issues when using --processes flag


Enumeration

In the step implementation file, TypeBuilder.make_enum function evaluates a regular expression


pattern for the provided enumeration of words or strings. The method register_type is used to register
a user defined type that can be parsed for any type conversion at the time of matching the step.

Also, we shall pass the parameter: user-defined enum datatype enclosed in "{}".

Optional Part
Retry Mechanism

The rerun formatter is used to capture the failing scenario and output it in a separate file. Let us take
an example, where we have 1 failed feature.
Debugging

Optional

Behave - Multi-Methods

ere, we can have different step definitions to differentiate the INR and Dollar. For this, we can use the
multi-method approach, where it is mandatory to have varied regular expressions for the dissimilar
data types.

TypeBuilder.make_choice function evaluates a regular expression pattern for the provided choices.
