Parsed step aliases no longer working on 6.0.0

[kimsappi]

Having multiple step aliases with parsing is no longer supported as of pytest-bdd 6.0.0. The error is reproducible by varying the order of the decorators (@given(...) in the following example): only the top-most decorator ever works.

Example:

Input:

$ cat x.feature 
Feature: x

    Scenario: x
        Given I have a "parameterised" step

        Then success

    Scenario: y
        Given I have a differently "parameterised" step

        Then success

$ cat test_x.py 
from pytest_bdd import scenario, given, then, parsers

@scenario('x.feature', 'x')
def test_x():
    pass

@scenario('x.feature', 'y')
def test_y():
    pass

@given(parsers.parse('I have a "{param}" step'))
@given(parsers.parse('I have a differently "{param}" step'))
def parameterised(param):
    pass

@then('success')
def success():
    assert True

I also saw the same error but in my case I have both a @given and a @when step on the same function in that order (@given declared first and @when second). I believe both steps are registered but only the first parser is ever used.

e.g.: In my test the @when step gets executed but the string is parsed using the statement from the @given parser which does not match and then returns None here:

    def parse(self, string, evaluate_result=True):
        """Match my format to the string exactly.

        Return a Result or Match instance or None if there's no match.
        """
        m = self._match_re.match(string)
        if m is None:
            return None

So my test fails with the following error:

    def parse_arguments(self, name: str) -> dict[str, Any]:
        """Get step arguments.

        :return: `dict` of step arguments
        """
>       return cast(Dict[str, Any], self.parser.parse(name).named)
E       AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'named'

I made a fix in #530, can you try it out before I make a release to check if it fixes it for your project?

You can install it using:

pip install git+https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-bdd.git@15e1a8aa201384e9cd7d026af0200f5942b2cadd#egg=pytest-bdd

@youtux yes it is working for me (my project has 1267 tests)

I only had to convert some scenarios where I used vertical example tables which is not supported anymore, otherwise upgrading from 5.0.0 to this fixed version works.

[kimsappi]

Thank you for the swift work. Tested it against some of our projects, and they work with this version.

[youtux]

Thanks for testing, I'll probably release 6.0.1 tomorrow.

[youtux]

Version 6.0.1 is out.

It seems like you only created a tag here in Github, but the latest release is still 6.0.0. On Pypi it was updated, and the latest version is 6.0.1.
