Question: how to move "background" step out of "beforeHooks"

[alescinskis]

Hello,

I want to be able to utilise background keyword in my scenarios, but I see that in html report, when such background section is present, it's listed under "beforeHooks", which hinders scenario readability.

report looks like this:

if we delve into "beforeEachHook" then we'll see the background step is there

I'd like the background step be on the scenario level in the reporter, like this

is it currently possible to move it on the scenario level? or this feature should be requested?

Hi @alescinskis ! Currently it is not possible, but I suggest to wait for Cucumber HTML reporter in #9 that I'm working on. In Cucumber reporter Background steps are shown in dedicated section that is the best option imho:

Now playwright-bdd supports Cucumber reports, that show background step as in feature file.
There is another idea to enhance Playwright html reporter, tracked here #122
