Three decorators allow you to skip test functions or classes for a library:

  • @irrelevant: The tested feature/behavior is irrelevant to the library, meaning the feature is either purposefully not supported by the lib or cannot reasonably be implemented
  • @bug: The lib does not implement the feature correctly/up to spec
  • @flaky (subclass of bug): The feature sometimes fails, sometimes passes. It's not reliable, so don't run it.
  • @missing_feature: The tested feature/behavior does not exist in the library or there is a deficit in the test library that blocks this test from executing for the lib

To skip specific test functions within a test class, use them as in-line decorators (Example below). To skip test classes or test files, use the decorator in the library's manifest file.

The decorators take several arguments:

  • condition: boolean, tell if it's relevant or not. As it's the first argument, you can omit the arguement name
  • library: provide library. version numbers are allowed e.g.[email protected], see versions.md for more details on semantic versioning and testing against unmerged changes
  • weblog_variant: if you want to skip the test for a specific weblog
  • reason: why the test is skipped. It's especially useful for @bug, in which case the value should reference a JIRA ticket number.
