v2.8.0

2.8.0

Features

• Introduce GinkgoHelper() to track and exclude helper functions from potential CodeLocations [e19f556]

Modeled after testing.T.Helper(). Now, rather than write code like:

func helper(model Model) {
    Expect(model).WithOffset(1).To(BeValid())
    Expect(model.SerialNumber).WithOffset(1).To(MatchRegexp(/[a-f0-9]*/))
}

you can stop tracking offsets (which makes nesting composing helpers nearly impossible) and simply write:

func helper(model Model) {
    GinkgoHelper()
    Expect(model).To(BeValid())
    Expect(model.SerialNumber).To(MatchRegexp(/[a-f0-9]*/))
}

• Introduce GinkgoLabelFilter() and Label().MatchesLabelFilter() to make it possible to programmatically match filters (fixes #1119) [2f6597c]

You can now write code like this:

BeforeSuite(func() {
	if Label("slow").MatchesLabelFilter(GinkgoLabelFilter()) {
		// do slow setup
	}

	if Label("fast").MatchesLabelFilter(GinkgoLabelFilter()) {
		// do fast setup
	}
})

to programmatically check whether a given set of labels will match the configured --label-filter.
