godog/release-notes/v0.11.0.md

We are excited to announce the release of godog v0.11.0.

Here follows a summary of Notable Changes, the Non Backward Compatible Changes and Deprecation Notices. The full change log is available here.

Notable Changes

Write test report to file

godog is now able to write the report to a file.

• --format cucumber will continue to write the report to stdout

• --format cucumber:report.json will instead write the report to a file named report.json

Note, godog still only support the use of one formatter.

Executing godog from the Command Line

godog is now using Cobra to run godog from the command line. With this update, godog has received sub-commands: (build, help, run, version)

To run tests with godog, godog [<feature>] has been replaced with godog run [<feature>].

To build a test binary, godog --output g.test [<feature>]has been replaced with godog build --output g.test [<feature>].

Upload artifacts to the github release

The releases on github now include prebuilt binaries for:

• Linux for amd64 and arm64
• macOs (Darwin) for amd64

Restructure of the codebase with internal packages

A lot of the internal code that used to be in the main godog package has been moved to internal packages.

The reason for this is mainly for decoupling to allow for simpler tests and to make the codebase easier to work with in general.

Added official support for go1.15 and removed support for go1.12

With the introduction of go1.15, go1.15 is now officially supported and go1.12 has been removed, this is since godog supports the 3 latest versions of golang.

Deprecation Notices

BindFlags

BindFlags(prefix, flag.CommandLine, &opts) has been replaced by BindCommandLineFlags(prefix, &opts) and will be removed in v0.12.0.

Using BindCommandLineFlags(prefix, &opts) also requires you to use "github.com/spf13/pflag" to parse the flags.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"
	"testing"

	"github.com/cucumber/godog"
	"github.com/cucumber/godog/colors"
	flag "github.com/spf13/pflag"
)

var opts = godog.Options{Output: colors.Colored(os.Stdout)}

func init() {
	godog.BindCommandLineFlags("godog.", &opts)
}

func TestMain(m *testing.M) {
	flag.Parse()
	opts.Paths = flag.Args()
  
  // ...

godog has received sub-commands: (build, help, run, version)

To run tests with godog, godog [<feature>] has been replaced with godog run [<feature>].

To build a test binary, godog --output g.test [<feature>]has been replaced with godog build --output g.test [<feature>].
