# suite or test titles containing the string 'it loads' # filter all specs first, and only run the ones with Thus when doing the positive grep, you can pre-filter specs using the grepFilterSpecs=true parameter. This can be very wasteful, if only a few specs contain the grep in the test titles. $ npx cypress run -env grepUntagged=trueīy default, when using grep and grepTags all specs are executed, and inside each the filters are applied. Sometimes you want to run only the tests without any tags, and these tests are inside the describe blocks without any tags. Note: global function describe and context are aliases and both supported by this plugin. env the cypress/integration/describe-tags-spec.js file. It ( 'works as an array', ) # run any tests in the blocks having tag You can set the grep value in the cypress.json file to run only tests with the substring viewport in their names You can use any way to modify the environment values grep and grepTags, except the run-time Cypress.env('grep') (because it is too late at run-time). # only run the specs that have any tests tagged npx cypress run -env run only tests that do not have any tags # and are not inside suites that have any tags $ npx cypress run -env grep=user,grepFilterSpecs=true # only run the specs that have any tests with 'user' in their titles $ npx cypress run -env grep=login,grepTags=smoke

$ npx cypress run -env grep= 'hello auth user ' # run tests tagged npx cypress run -env run only the tests tagged 'smoke' # that have 'login' in their titles $ npx cypress run -env grep= 'auth user ' # run tests with 'hello' or 'auth user' in their titles # by separating them with ' ' character # run only the tests with 'auth user' in the title If you want to run only specific tests, use the built-in -spec CLI argument.Īssuming you have Cypress installed, add this module as a dev dependency. If you have multiple spec files, all specs will be loaded, and every test will be filtered the same way, since the grep is run-time operation and cannot eliminate the spec files without loading them.

7.# run only tests with 'hello' in their namesĪll other tests will be marked pending, see why in the Cypress test statuses blog post. Additionally, let’s note that we’ve concatenated $0 with a newline character ( ) so that each paragraph that contains the search string is separated from other paragraphs with a blank line.

Next, let’s see how we can use the awk command to read the ipinfo_v2.txt file such that each record is a single paragraph: $ awk -vRS= 'END ' ipinfo_v2.txtĢ: enp0s3: mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000

As a result, it becomes quite convenient to capture complete paragraphs in a single record. Displaying Lines Before a Matchįirstly, we must understand that awk is a better choice for this use case because it inherently supports input record separators. Valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3. Let’s create a file by redirecting the output of the ip addr show command to a file ( ipinfo.txt): $ ip addr show > ipinfo.txtġ: lo: mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 We’ll use the grep command to search a string in a text file and then print the surrounding lines. The grep filter searches a file for a particular pattern of characters and displays all lines that contain that pattern.
