feat-behave 0.1.2

Run behave feature files from VS Code with 'feat' command

auto-behave 🧪

Run behave feature files directly from VS Code's active tab with intelligent auto-completion!

Features

✨ Automatic Directory Detection - Detects the active file in VS Code and runs behave from that directory
⚡ Tab Completion - Auto-complete feature file names by pressing Tab
🎯 Simple Command - Just type feat feature_file.feature
🔄 Fallback Support - Uses current directory if VS Code detection fails

Installation

1. Install the package

pip install -e .

2. Enable tab completion

For PowerShell (Windows)

Add this to your PowerShell profile:

# Register argcomplete for auto-behave
Register-ArgumentCompleter -Native -CommandName auto-behave -ScriptBlock {
    param($wordToComplete, $commandAst, $cursorPosition)
    $env:_ARGCOMPLETE = 1
    $env:_ARGCOMPLETE_COMP_WORDBREAKS = ' '
    $env:COMP_LINE = $commandAst.ToString()
    $env:COMP_POINT = $cursorPosition
    auto-behave 2>&1 | ForEach-Object { $_ }
}

To find your PowerShell profile location, run:

echo $PROFILE

For Bash (Linux/Mac)

Add this to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile:

eval "$(register-python-argcomplete auto-behave)"

For Zsh (Linux/Mac)

Add this to your ~/.zshrc:

eval "$(register-python-argcomplete auto-behave)"

Usage

Basic Usage

# Run a feature file (auto-detects directory from VS Code active tab)
feat my_feature.feature

With Tab Completion

1. Type feat
2. Press Tab to see available feature files
3. Start typing the file name and press Tab again to auto-complete

With Behave Arguments

# Run with tags
auto-behave my_feature.feature --tags=@smoke

# Run with specific scenario
auto-behave my_feature.feature --name="User login"

# Dry run
auto-behave my_feature.feature --dry-run

Specify Custom Directory

# Use a specific directory instead of auto-detection
auto-behave my_feature.feature -d /path/to/features

How It Works

1. Detects Active File: When you run feat, it tries to detect which file is currently active in VS Code
2. Finds Directory: It extracts the directory path of the active file
3. Changes Directory: Automatically cds to that directory
4. Runs Behave: Executes behave feature_file.feature in that directory
5. Returns: Changes back to your original directory

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• behave (for running tests)
• argcomplete (for tab completion)
• VS Code (optional, falls back to current directory)

Troubleshooting

"behave command not found"

Install behave:

pip install behave

Tab completion not working

Make sure you:

1. Installed argcomplete: pip install argcomplete
2. Activated global completion: activate-global-python-argcomplete --user
3. Restarted your shell or ran source ~/.bashrc (or equivalent)

VS Code active file not detected

The tool will automatically fall back to using your current working directory. You can also specify a directory manually with the -d flag.
