How to run a single Jasmine suite?

[ThomasMarz]

Hello uiveri5 team,

we develop a larger set of specs and want to

• run all the specs
• run a subset of the specs by specifying a single suite (e.g. only those which had errors before)

we want to do this from command line without chaning test code

i checked related issues to this but I am not fully how to achieve it:

• Defining test suites #72
• exclude specs #89

i managed excluding suites from commandline with this: uiveri5 --config.specExclude=print
... but this approach did not work for running a dedicated suite

regards Thomas

hi,
probably {x|f}it and {x|f}describe might be of help here? even though it strictly means changing code, i found the options invalueable during dev.
best, v.

Hi Thomas,
You can use the --specs= with a grep pattern to specify the tests you want to run. But the problem is that specs filtering is not (currently) aware of the declarative authentication. Auth will kick-in before every spec and will obviously fail on the second one as the user already has a session. So to overcome the issues, you must manually log-out the user at the end of every spec.
What I could suggest is to structure the suites with test objects that you combine in scenarios in dedicated spec files. For example you could have smoketest.spec.js, full.spec.js that both call some test/createcontent.js that actually contains the it() blocks.
We plan to work on spec groups and then will solve the issue with declarative authentication.

Hi Maxim,
thank you. I tried in this direction but did not get it working with some strange issues I do not even want to elaborate. Is there some sample project with a best practice setup of folders and files?

Hi Thomas,
Here is a solution we plan to merge: #149
If you're interested, you could try it out and see if it fits your needs
Feedback is appreciated!

Any idea when this would be available ? Any update ?

Suites are already available: https://github.com/SAP/ui5-uiveri5/blob/master/docs/usage/specorganization.md., currently we work on replacing the protractor runner, which will allow the implementation of browser restart. This way each spec will get a fresh browser, without the login session from the previous spec.
