Support for GivenStories in jBehave stories

jBehave style GivenStories keyword can now be used in .story files. GivenStories is used to specify pre-requisites for a story in jBehave. This is a very useful feature of jBehave that helps organize the stories better and reduces duplication. See here for examples.

Filter tests by tag in jUnit

You can now filter tests by tag while running Thucydides. This can be achieved by providing a single tag or a comma separated list of tags from command line. If provided, only classes and/or methods with tags in this list will be executed.

Example:

mvn verify -Dtags="iteration:I1"

or

mvn verify -Dtags="color:red,flavor:strawberry"


Support for jUnit Assumptions

If steps include junit style assumptions, then those steps where the conditions under assumptions fail are marked as PENDING instead of ERROR. Subsequent steps are also marked as PENDING.

Bug Fixes

• Thucydides-146: Fixed a bug that caused chromedriver to fail with error message “Error communicating with the remote browser. It may have died” when @Managed(uniqueSession) was set to true.
• Thucydides-149: Fixed a bug due to which test where no steps were executed due to error was reported as pending in the aggregate report.
• Thucydides-150: Tests where no steps ae executed due to errors now show relevant exception cause in the report. Earlier the test was reported as error but no details were provided.
• Thucydides-152 : XML reports now support UTF-8 encoding.
• Thucydides-155: Fixed a bug that prevented webdriver from correctly restarting for parameterized tests even when thucydides.restart.browser.frequency property is set to 1
• Thucydides-158 : Fixed a bug that was causing reports to throw errors for data-driven tests when @TestData contained an array.
