Can tests be marked as Pending at runtime?

[cressie176]

Is it possible to mark a test as pending while it's being executed? Something like this.emit('pending') or this.pending = true?

The reason for this is that yadda executes multiple bdd steps per mocha test, and I've had a feature request to change the test to pending if one of the bdd steps hasn't been implemented.

Thanks.

Would be nice of you to help Yadda project cause the association beetween excellent mocha & yadda produce something great.

So this is basically marking tests as "skipped" at runtime, right?

Please see #946 and let me know if that does what you want.

Old; reopen if necessary

Hey, I'm searching for a similar functionality, to mark a test as skipped / pending depending on the result of previous test. Any hints on this?

Hi,
I had the same problem. I could resolve this, storing result of test and before execute each test read if this test is blocked.
Each test knows that tests will be blocked if fails. If the current test is blocked, the test will be skipped.

var featuresFiles = new Yadda.FeatureFileSearch('./test/features');
var nFeaturesFiles = featuresFiles.list().length;
featuresFiles.each(function(file, nFile) {
    //console.log('Iniciamos el test');
    featureFile(file, function(feature) {
    scenarios(feature.scenarios, function(scenario) {
        describe(scenario.title, function() {
            before(function() {
                if(infoTest[scenario.annotations.cp] && infoTest[scenario.annotations.cp].blocked){
                    this.pending = true;
                    this.skip();
                }
                //do staffs
            });
            //code
            after(function(done){
                if(this.failed || this.pending){
                    var blocked = (scenario.annotations.blocking)?JSON.parse(scenario.annotations.blocking) : [];
                    if(blocked.length){
                        blocked.map(function(test){
                            infoTest[test.cp].blocked = true;
                        });
                    }
                }
            }
            //do staffs
        }
    }
}

I hope this will help you

Sounds like #1618 would work
