Is it possible to get the filename of the failed test in the _failed() hook?

If I am able to get the filename of the failed test, I could run the test a second time to check if it really is a error or just a coincidence. Until now I couldnt find a sulution.

Solution

  • You get the instance of test in _failed hook, so you can do the same thing as RunFailed extension:

    use Codeception\Test\Descriptor;

public function _failed(\Codeception\TestInterface $test, $fail)
{
    $fullName = Descriptor::getTestFullName($test);
}

    Original answer:

    Codeception has RunFailed extension, which is enabled by default.

    It saves the names of all failed tests to tests/_output/failed file, and failed tests can be executed by running codecept run -g failed command.

    In order to make CI pass if failed tests pass on second run you can use this command: codecept run || codecept run -g failed
