Executing the previous run from command line

[BugDiver]

User should be able to run the previous run from the command line.

Proposed behavior

• Add a flag --repeat to run subcommand.
• Execute the last run with same flags and env by running gauge run --repeat command.

@BugDiver @riju91 What is the use case of this?

It sounds like a good feature only if we could pass the number of times to repeat. This can be really useful when trying to replicate a intermitted issue.

E.g. gauge run --repeat=3.

I guess the only problem will be reporting when running multiple times.

@haroon-sheikh - this issue is a pre-requisite for getgauge/gauge-vscode#41

TLDR: we are implementing a feature in vscode plugin that will allow users to author implementation, and repeat scenario run without having to toggle between files.

Test cases

• Should give an error message if there is no last run
• Re-run for passed, failed, skipped tests
• Re-run with the given environment
• Re-run with tags, parallel run, data driven execution, selective data driven execution, folder execution

[sswaroopgupta]

If gauge does not execute specs
example: -

• No specifications found in specs. - for a tagged expression
• Failed to load env. something1 environment does not exist - for a non existing env input

What should be the behavior of re-run in such scenarios

What should be the behavior of re-run in such scenarios

Show an info on the problems mentioned.

[sswaroopgupta]

Expected behavior
Should show info when previous run has failed.

Actual behavior
Runs the previously successful gauge execution.

Steps to replicate
If gauge does not execute specs
example: -

• No specifications found in specs. - for a tagged expression
• Failed to load env. something1 environment does not exist - for a non existing env input

gauge run --env="something"

• Run again. It runs previously successful execution

Should be fixed in nightly >= 27-11-2017

Please find the failing test cases inline in the previous comment

[sswaroopgupta]

If the previous command is gauge run --failed what should gauge run --repeat do when run multiple times? Should it run only the failed tests repeatedly?

[sriv]

If the previous command is gauge run --failed what should gauge run --repeat do when run multiple times? Should it run only the failed tests repeatedly?

IMO, gauge run --repeat should just repeat the last run. It should be synonymous with running the previous command again.

In this case this:

> gauge run --failed
> gauge run --repeat
> gauge run --repeat

should be equivalent to:

gauge run --failed
gauge run --failed
gauge run --failed

This would imply that any test that passes in the 2nd run will not be repeated in the 3rd.
