Before steps into (separate) log groups

[iomedico-beyer]

Current behavior

v15.1.0 puts test steps (Given, When, Then, And, But) into log groups, which is great! But all the Before stuff is still without log groups.

Also, when multiple Before statements do match, they cannot be distinguished in the log. The all just start by logging “Before”.

Desired behavior

1. I would love to have one log group for each matching Before statement for a given test scenario.
2. The group name should also reflect if the Before matches by tag name.

Test code to reproduce

Before(function () {
    cy.log('TODO: login');
});

Before({ tags: '@deleteFoo' }, function () {
    cy.log('TODO: delete foo');
});

Hey @iomedico-beyer, I've fixed this with v15.1.1.

Amazing!

The only thing is that the second point „The group name should also reflect if the Before matches by tag name.“ doesn’t seem to work. The group name is always just „Before“. For the code above with yarn cypress open it looks like this:

Good idea! Since the requirements are getting a little bit more complex, I think it's warranted that it's tested as well. I think I've seen Cypress themselves testing somewhat similar, where they in a Cypress test actually verifies the runner's appearance. I'd like to dig through their test to find that and replicate it, although I can't right now. If you or anyone finds time though, feel free to do that.

This has been fixed in v17.0.0.
