@cucumber/cucumber - npm Package Versions

[7.1.0] - 2021-04-06

Added

• Support attachments that are already base64-encoded via a prefix on the MIME type e.g. this.attach(base64String, 'base64:image/png') (#1552)
• Support tagged rules (cucumber#1123)

Fixed

• Fix types for hook functions so they can return e.g. 'skipped' (#1542)
• Display the response of the reports server when an error is returned before failing. (#1608)
• Remove unnecessary implicit dependency on long package (cucumber#1313)
• Remove unnecessary transitive dependencies on react etc (cucumber#1308)

[7.0.0] - 2020-12-21

Added

• Add a built in html formatter for rich HTML reports output as a standalone page (#1432)
• Add support for BeforeStep and AfterStep hooks (#1416)
• Custom formatters can now be resolved by a module name (as well as by a relative path), enabling use of Yarn PnP (#1413)

Fixed

• Wrong version in meta message #1439 #1442

Removed

• Support for running Cucumber in web browsers has been removed (#1508). This feature was increasingly difficult to support and seldom used. Node.js will now be the only support runtime for Cucumber itself; of course as before you can still use tools like WebDriver and Puppeteer to instrument testing of browser-based software. See the discussion in #1437 for more about why this change is happening.

[7.0.0-rc.0] - 2020-09-14

Added

• Add --publish option to publish reports to reports.cucumber.io #1423, #1424
• Add support for Gherkin's Rule/Example syntax
• Add transpose method to data table interface
• Add log function to world, providing a shorthand to log plain text as attachment(s)
• Now includes TypeScript type definitions, deprecating the need for @types/cucumber in TypeScript projects

Changed

• The npm module has changed name from cucumber to @cucumber/cucumber - require/import statements must be changed from cucumber to @cucumber/cucumber
• TypeScript users must rename TableDefinition to DataTable
• Drop support for Node.js 8, add support for Node.js 14
• Events are now based on cucumber-messages
• event-protocol formatter has been removed and replaced with message
• Formatters
• Remove long-deprecated typeName from options object for defineParameterType in favour of name
• CUCUMBER_TOTAL_SLAVES is now CUCUMBER_TOTAL_WORKERS
• CUCUMBER_SLAVE_ID is now CUCUMBER_WORKER_ID
• Parallel runtime environment variables renamed for inclusivity:
• Custom formatters are now loaded via the regular require paths relative to the current directory, unless it begins with a dot (e.g. --format=./relpath/to/formatter). Previously this was always loaded as a file relative to the current directory.

Deprecated

• json formatter is deprecated and will be removed in next major release. Custom formatters should migrate to use the message formatter, or the standalone JSON formatter as a stopgap.

Fixed

• don't execute BeforeAll and AfterAll hooks when in dry-run
• support correct case for --retry-tag-filter CLI argument
