Skipping tests from steps¶

As mentioned in the basic guide, a Step status is PASS if doesn't raise any exception or FAIL otherwise (this behavior can be modified via the different invocation methods though). You can also set the status of a Step to SKIP by calling self.skip() method. As result of this, the test case (if this occurred in the context of the setup or tear_down methods) or the current iteration (if this occurred in the context of the test script's run method) will be skipped as well.

You could use this when certain steps or tests do not apply for a specific environment or version of the SUT.

For example:

# add_to_wishlist.py
from marvin import Step

class AddItemToWishlist(Step):
    """Adds an item to the user's wishlist"""

    NAME = "Add to wishlist"

    def run(self, session, item):
      if self.cfg.features['wishlist']['supported']:
        self.skip("Wishlist is not supported in environment %s" % self.cfg.environment)
      else:
        session.profile.whishlist.add(item)
