Testcases do not get executed

[QCube]

Since version 0.3.1 my datadriver testcases are not being executed properly. The tests do not fail, they pass whilst simply not being executed. The strange thing is, DataDriver seems to run properly and even sees the testcases but is just skipping them.

Console Output (DEBUG):
...

Hi,

Do you use --include or --exclude to filter for TestCases?

in 3.1 filter by tags has been added...

[QCube]

Hi,
I've read that but now I see where the problem lies:
We use argument files to filter with --include (-i). But we don't use the "[Tags]" collumn statet as being optional in the documentation. Still the Datadriver excludes the testcases. (if I include the collumn and the tags it works, but for my specific case I don't want to add tags in the excel sheet)

I would suggest either adding an explicit flag to deactivate or activate filtering by tags or, probably even better, not to filter for tags if there is no "[Tags]" collumn (as it is explained being optional anyway).

[Snooz82]

Ok.
I will think about this situation.
How urgent is it?

[Snooz82]

Can you workaround with v3.0?

[QCube]

It's not very urgent, v3.0 is sufficient for us right now.

Hi,

This issue should be solved.
When no Tags column is set, all testcases will be included if suite is included.

Could you please check with DataDriver v 0.3.2?
And give feedback?

Hi,

It seems like it's resolved now.
My testcases get executed without a tag column, don't get executed if a tag column is available and no matching tags are given and the tests specified by a matching tag get executed properly as well.

Thank you a lot!
