Disable the use of ANSI color escapes.

Use ANSI color escapes. This is the default behaviour. This switch is used to override a configuration file setting.

Invokes formatters without executing the steps.

Define user-specific data for the config.userdata dictionary. Example: -D foo=bar to store it in config.userdata["foo"].

Don't run feature files matching regular expression PATTERN.

Only run feature files matching regular expression PATTERN.

Don't output JUnit-compatible reports.

Output JUnit-compatible reports. When junit is enabled, all stdout and stderr will be redirected and dumped to the junit report, regardless of the "-- capture" and "--no-capture" options.

Directory in which to store JUnit reports.

Specify a formatter. If none is specified the default formatter is used. Pass "--format help" to get a list of available formatters.

Show a catalog of all available step definitions. SAME AS: --format=steps.catalog --dry-run --no-summary -q

Don't print skipped steps (due to tags).

Print skipped steps. This is the default behaviour. This switch is used to override a configuration file setting.

Don't print snippets for unimplemented steps.

Print snippets for unimplemented steps. This is the default behaviour. This switch is used to override a configuration file setting.

Don't print multiline strings and tables under steps.

Print multiline strings and tables under steps. This is the default behaviour. This switch is used to override a configuration file setting.

Only execute the feature elements which match part of the given name. If this option is given more than once, it will match against all the given names.

Don't capture stdout (any stdout output will be printed immediately.)

Capture stdout (any stdout output will be printed if there is a failure.) This is the default behaviour. This switch is used to override a configuration file setting.

Don't capture stderr (any stderr output will be printed immediately.)

Capture stderr (any stderr output will be printed if there is a failure.) This is the default behaviour. This switch is used to override a configuration file setting.

Don't capture logging. Logging configuration will be left intact.

Capture logging. All logging during a step will be captured and displayed in the event of a failure. This is the default behaviour. This switch is used to override a configuration file setting.

Specify a level to capture logging at. The default is INFO - capturing everything.

Specify custom format to print statements. Uses the same format as used by standard logging handlers. The default is "%(levelname)s:%(name)s:%(message)s".

Specify custom date/time format to print statements. Uses the same format as used by standard logging handlers.

Specify which statements to filter in/out. By default, everything is captured. If the output is too verbose, use this option to filter out needless output. Example: --logging-filter=foo will capture statements issued ONLY to foo or foo.what.ever.sub but not foobar or other logger. Specify multiple loggers with comma: filter=foo,bar,baz. If any logger name is prefixed with a minus, eg filter=-foo, it will be excluded rather than included.

Clear all other logging handlers.

Don't display the summary at the end of the run.

Display the summary at the end of the run.

Write to specified file instead of stdout.

Alias for --no-snippets --no-source.

Don't print the file and line of the step definition with the steps.

Print the file and line of the step definition with the steps. This is the default behaviour. This switch is used to override a configuration file setting.

Defines the current test stage. The test stage name is used as name prefix for the environment file and the steps directory (instead of default path names).

Stop running tests at the first failure.

Only execute features or scenarios with tags matching TAG_EXPRESSION. Pass "--tags-help" for more information.

Don't print the time taken for each step.

Print the time taken, in seconds, of each step after the step has completed. This is the default behaviour. This switch is used to override a configuration file setting.

Show the files and features loaded.

Only run scenarios tagged with "wip". Additionally: use the "plain" formatter, do not capture stdout or logging output and stop at the first failure.

Expand scenario outline tables in output.

Use keywords for a language other than English.

List the languages available for --lang.

List the translations accepted for one language.

Show help for tag expressions.

Show version.
