Selenium behave debugging with vscode - python

Question

I have a desktop application made with electron that runs a react project. Already exist some test for my application and now I want put them in vscode using for debugging and implement them.

I am able to launch my exe, load all files (for example the breakpoints in the step files fires in the "Given" line) and debug the enviroment.py file. I'm also able (for test) in before_all function to interact with my app doing actions.

My problem is that as first fires before_all function and next after_all function, other files are ignored (features and steps) ending with a 0 steps passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped, 0 undefined.

Here is my configuration in launch.json into .vscode folder:

{
    "name": "Python: all",
    "type": "python",
    "request": "launch",
    "module": "behave",
    "console": "integratedTerminal",
    "args": [
        "--no-capture",
        "--no-capture-stderr",
        "${workspaceFolder}/features/steps"
    ]
}

If can be useful, first the integration into vscode all works fine using the following command in cmd: behave --no-capture > logs.txt

As foler structure I have

root
-> features
-> -> steps

Thanks

UPDATE 1: more info & code features/enviroment.py

#..imports..

apiPath = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)))
if apiPath not in sys.path:
    sys.path.append(apiPath)
    
def before_all(context):
    #..code..
    context.my_app.open_app()
    sleep(2)
    
    context.queries_logger = logging.getLogger('MainThread')
    context.queries_logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

    context.formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)-15s %(threadName)-15s'
                                  ' %(levelname)-8s %(module)-15s:%(lineno)-8s %(message)s')
                                                                  
def before_feature(context, feature):
    #..code.. NEVER RUNS!
    
def after_all(context):
    context.my_app.close_app()

features/blabla.feature

Feature: Test of the parameters configuration of the XXX

  @XXX_XX @wip
  Scenario: User sets ...
    Given User add a XXXXX in the configuration file
      When  User enters in the ....
      Then  User checks that .....

features/steps/blabla.step

from time import sleep
from behave import *

@Given("User add a XXXXX in the configuration file")
def add_xxxxxxx(context):
    #NEVER RUNS!

@When("User enters .....")
def enter_xxxxxx(context):
    #NEVER RUNS!

@Then("User checks .......")
def check_xxxxx(context):
    #NEVER RUNS!

and I always get 0 features passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped

Answer 1

I found a working solution.

"${workspaceFolder}/features" instead "${workspaceFolder}/features/steps"

{
    "name": "Python: all",
    "type": "python",
    "request": "launch",
    "module": "behave",
    "console": "integratedTerminal",
    "args": [
        "--no-capture",
        "--no-capture-stderr",
        "${workspaceFolder}/features"
    ]
}

and fixed the os.path directory that was edited in some script with the right one
