I use nightwatch.js, mocha.js and selenium web driver for acceptance testing for now. And I need to skip some tests, how I can do it?

module.exports = {

"User logs in the WebPortal": function(browser) {
browser
  .url(urlAdress)
  .setValue('input#login', user.login)
  .setValue('input#password', user.password)
  .click('button.ui-button')
  .waitForElementPresent('a[href="/logout"]', middleTimer)
  .getText('a[href="/logout"] span', function(result) {
    (result.value).should.be.exactly("logout")
  })
  .end()
},
"User logs out": function(browser) {
browser
  .url(urlAdress)
  .setValue('input#login', user.login)
  .setValue('input#password', user.password)
  .click('button.ui-button')
  .waitForElementPresent('a[href="/logout"]', middleTimer)
  .click('a[href="/logout"]')
  .waitForElementPresent('button.ui-button', middleTimer)
  .getText('button.ui-button', function(result) {
    (result.value).should.be.exactly("Login")
  })
  .end()
}
}

So, how to skip one or more tests? Thank you for answers.

• javascript
• selenium
• nightwatch.js

• Do you want to skip a test using mand line parameters, or by adding some code to the test case? – Jens Wegar Commented Feb 2, 2016 at 9:31
• @Jens Wegar, thank you, but I found the solution by adding mocha.js wrapper to my tests! – Arsenowitch Commented Feb 2, 2016 at 9:38
• Cool! Would be good if you can add your solution as an answer to this question and accept it, so it gets removed from the list of unanswered questions ;) – Jens Wegar Commented Feb 2, 2016 at 11:32

Without using Mocha or Grunt. I am able to skip using:

1. Use '@disabled': true, like this

   after module.exports = {
      '@disabled': true,
   

   it will will skip everything inside module.exports = {

   and print skip statement in console

2. Skip specific tests:

   In your .js file if you have so many tests and you want to skip specific test, use ''+ as prefix before test function in your test, like this:

   'Test 1': '' + function (client) {
    },
   'Test 2': '' + function (client) {
    },
   'Test 3': function (client) {
    }
   

   first two tests will be skipped and third will get executed. No skip statement will be printed.

You can just prefix function keyword with exclamation ! or some other valid character:

"User logs in the WebPortal": !function(browser) {
  browser
  .url(urlAdress)
  ...
  .end()
},

Tests marked by this way will not executed.
