How to skip a scenario with Cucumber-JVM at run-time

In Cucumber-JVM, you can skip a scenario at runtime using conditional logic within your step definitions. One common approach is to use a tagged hook and then conditionally skip the scenario based on a certain condition. Here's an example:

  1. Tag your scenarios: Tag the scenarios that you want to skip with a specific tag, for example, @skip.

    @skip Scenario: This scenario should be skipped Given some condition When something happens Then the result is as expected

  2. Use a Hook with Conditional Logic: Define a hook in your step definitions file that checks for the presence of the @skip tag and skips the scenario accordingly.

    import io.cucumber.java.Before; import io.cucumber.java.Scenario; public class SkipScenarioHook { @Before("@skip") public void skipScenario(Scenario scenario) { System.out.println("Skipping scenario: " + scenario.getName()); // You can add additional conditions or logic to decide whether to skip the scenario // For example: if (someCondition) { scenario.log("Skipped due to some condition"); scenario.skip(); } scenario.skip(); } }

    In this example, the @Before("@skip") hook runs before each scenario tagged with @skip. Inside the hook, you can add any custom logic to decide whether to skip the scenario. In this case, the scenario is skipped using scenario.skip().

  3. Run Cucumber with Tags: When you run your Cucumber tests, you can specify which tags to include or exclude. To skip scenarios with the @skip tag, exclude the tag during the execution.

    mvn test -Dcucumber.options="--tags ~@skip"

    This command tells Cucumber to exclude scenarios with the @skip tag.

Remember to adapt the examples to your specific project structure and requirements. You can customize the conditional logic within the hook based on your needs.

Examples

  1. "Cucumber-JVM skip scenario conditionally"

    • Code Implementation:
      @Given("^some precondition$") public void some_precondition() { if (shouldSkipScenario()) { Assume.assumeTrue("Skipping scenario", false); } // Rest of the steps }
    • Description: Use Assume.assumeTrue() to skip a scenario based on a condition in a Cucumber-JVM step definition.

  2. "Cucumber-JVM skip scenario with tags"

    • Code Implementation:
      @Given("^some precondition$") @Tag("skipScenario") public void some_precondition() { // Steps }
    • Description: Use Cucumber tags to mark scenarios to be skipped, and configure the runner to exclude tagged scenarios.

  3. "Skip Cucumber scenario in the @Before hook"

    • Code Implementation:
      @Before public void beforeScenario(Scenario scenario) { if (shouldSkipScenario(scenario)) { Assume.assumeTrue("Skipping scenario", false); } }
    • Description: Use Assume.assumeTrue() in the @Before hook to skip a scenario based on a condition.

  4. "Skip Cucumber scenario programmatically"

    • Code Implementation:
      @Before public void beforeScenario(Scenario scenario) { if (shouldSkipScenario(scenario)) { scenario.skip(); } }
    • Description: Programmatically skip a scenario using the scenario.skip() method in the @Before hook.

  5. "Cucumber-JVM skip scenario if a certain condition fails"

    • Code Implementation:
      @Given("^some precondition$") public void some_precondition() { if (!conditionMet()) { Assume.assumeTrue("Skipping scenario", false); } // Rest of the steps }
    • Description: Skip a scenario if a certain condition fails by using Assume.assumeTrue().

  6. "Cucumber-JVM skip scenario with background steps"

    • Code Implementation:
      @BeforeStep public void beforeStep(Scenario scenario) { if (shouldSkipScenario(scenario)) { scenario.skip(); } }
    • Description: Use scenario.skip() in a @BeforeStep hook to skip the entire scenario if needed.

  7. "Skip Cucumber scenario based on environment"

    • Code Implementation:
      @Before public void beforeScenario(Scenario scenario) { if (isProductionEnvironment() && shouldSkipInProduction(scenario)) { scenario.skip(); } }
    • Description: Skip a scenario based on the environment by checking conditions in the @Before hook.

  8. "Cucumber-JVM skip scenario with scenario outline"

    • Code Implementation:
      @Before public void beforeScenario(Scenario scenario) { if (scenario.getName().contains("SkipCondition")) { scenario.skip(); } }
    • Description: Skip a scenario with a specific condition within a scenario outline in the @Before hook.

  9. "Cucumber-JVM skip scenario with data-driven approach"

    • Code Implementation:
      @Given("^some precondition$") public void some_precondition(DataTable data) { if (shouldSkipScenario(data)) { Assume.assumeTrue("Skipping scenario", false); } // Rest of the steps }
    • Description: Skip a scenario based on data-driven conditions from a DataTable in a Cucumber-JVM step.

  10. "Cucumber-JVM skip scenario with custom annotation"

    • Code Implementation:
      @Before public void beforeScenario(Scenario scenario) { if (scenario.getSourceTagNames().contains("@SkipScenario")) { scenario.skip(); } }
    • Description: Use a custom annotation (@SkipScenario) to mark scenarios to be skipped in the @Before hook.
