cypress-grep does not work (cypress, jest)

[zako05]

Hi there,

cypress-grep still does not work for me. It seems that "grep" part is ignored. I'd like to ask you whether your solution is built up on macha "-- grep" pattern, and whether Jest might be the problem that 'grep' is ignored.

Here is what I'm trying to do:

command:

npx cypress run --env grepTags="@shallow" --spec cypress/specs/ui/<spec-name>

spec example:

describe('some description', () => {
  it('test name', {tags: '@shallow'}, () => {})
  it('test name 2' () => {})
  it('test name 3' () => {})
  it('test name 4' () => {})
})

It always runs all tests. My expectation would be that it will run only the first test "test name".

Thanks a lot for any helps.

So it runs all specs, skipping all tests in each except in the spec you are showing, and in that spec it only runs (correctly) the test "test name" with the tag "@shallow"? And the problem / question is why it even runs the other specs?

• in that spac it runs all the tests with or without the tag.

So, the question is why it even runs the other tests without the tag.

Ok, so now that I understand your question, here is the answer: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-grep#grepfilterspecs
