CucumberReporter: Cucumber Reporter Base Class

In cucumber: Behavior-Driven Development for R

Cucumber Reporter Base Class

Description

Base class for cucumber reporters that extends testthat::Reporter. Adds step-level and feature-level reporting hooks while maintaining full compatibility with testthat reporters.

Details

CucumberReporter extends testthat's Reporter class to add: - Feature-level hooks: 'start_feature()', 'end_feature()' - Step-level hooks: 'start_step()', 'end_step()'

These additional hooks are called during cucumber test execution to provide visibility into individual step execution. Standard testthat reporters will continue to work unchanged, reporting only at the scenario (test) level.

Methods

'start_feature(feature_name)'

Called before executing a feature's scenarios

'end_feature()'

Called after all scenarios in a feature complete

'start_step(step)'

Called before executing a step

'end_step(step)'

Called after a step completes, with status/error/duration populated

Super class

testthat::Reporter -> CucumberReporter

Public fields

current_feature

Current feature name being executed

current_pickle

Current pickle (scenario) being executed
