expose ability to alias It, Describe, etc like gomega allows with by changing skip

[gaffo]

I have some wrapper functions It and Describe and I'd like them to show the correct context... but I can't access the Skip variable.

ping... per the contributing guide I wanted to discuss how to do this. I was considering exposing DescribeSkip, ItSkip, etc... but that seems somewhat clunky.

I think the more correct way would be to expose code point but that's more invasive

I have the same issue. I am writing some wrappers around It, Describe, etc. so my tests look better and to have standardized output in tests failure raport, but the links to the code location then points to my functions (wrappers) and not to tests - becuase of fixed skip value inside for example It(...) function. I'd like to have some functions like CustomIt(..., skip = 3) or to have access to the globalSuite so I can write similiar code as is in the body of It(...) but with different skip value.

I'm working through the backlog of old Ginkgo issues - apologies as this issue is probably stale now.

I'm going to address this as part of the v2 work - I'm going to make it possible to decorate tests with an Offset(N) to shift the line numbers up the call stack.

I'm going to close this for now, but feel free to reopen it if you'd like.

A beta for Ginkgo V2 that fixes this issue was just released. Please try out the beta!
