grep command is not working with Or condition

[Arthanarieaswaran]

What are you trying to achieve?

I am trying to run multiple test cases using tags like test1 or test2

What do you get instead?

Provide console output if related. Use --verbose mode for more details.

PS C:\Artha\AutomationFramework\Clinicals\clinicals-ui-automation-framework> npx codeceptjs run --plugins allure --grep "\@End2End|\@E2E" --verbose
'\@E2E' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Provide test source code if related

// paste test

Thanks for your immediate reply,

I am using CodeCeptJS BDD format,
feature below listed in CodeCeptjs
https://codecept.io/bdd/#what-is-behavior-driven-development

[myrepojuly]

@Arthanarieaswaran hello..I just ran this in BDD format without any issues with the same set of tags... Can you please do npm update once?

[Arthanarieaswaran]

Thanks for your reply myrepojuly1987

I have update the node, but still i am getting same issue, is there any github project is available, i can set my machine and try

Note: --grep "@End2End" this is working for me, but not working And/Or conditions in the grep

[myrepojuly]

@Arthanarieaswaran - Apologies.. Believe you are using windows to run... Just try leaving space between the OR condition in GREP. Something like this npx codeceptjs run --grep "@End2End | @E2E" --verbose

[Arthanarieaswaran]

Thanks a myrepojuly1987

npx codeceptjs run --grep "@End2End | @E2E" --verbose

this space between the pipe is worked me, thanks for pointing out the windows and mac environment different.
PeterNgTr thanks for your input.

[Arthanarieaswaran]

I think, if grep is not working as expected in windows system, so it may need to taken care and whatever format we are writing on macOS, same format of grep should support for WindowsOS also. So this may consider as bug and fix in the codeceptjs source code. Please let me know your thought.

[kobenguyent]

npx codeceptjs run --grep "\@smoke1| \@s2"
CodeceptJS v3.3.7 #StandWithUkraine
Using test root "C:\Users\nguyenth\Desktop\codeceptjs-rest-demo"

PUT tests --
  √ Verify creating new user @smoke1 in 179ms
  √ Verify creating new user @s2 in 194ms

  OK  | 2 passed   // 866ms

I tested on windows which is fine when adding the spacebar in between. This is handled by Mocha itself, so I'm not sure what could be done within CodeceptJS.

[Arthanarieaswaran]

Thanks PeterNgTr
as mentioned by myrepojuly1987, it --grep "@End2End | @e2e" worked for me and I am agreeing with you, --grep is comes from Mocha, it may not valid bug/issue in CodeceptJS.

As of now, i am taking care internally processing this grep command and producing space between the pipe.

Once again I thanks for all of you guys, this was very long pending item with me, it come to conclusion in a day. Keep doing good work.
