I'm wondering if you can use wildcard characters with tags to get all tagged scenarios/features that match a certain pattern.
For example, I've used 17 unique tags on many scenarios throughout many of my feature files. The pattern is "#jira=CIS-" followed by 4 numbers, like #jira=CIS-1234 and #jira=CIS-5678.
I'm hoping I can use a wildcard character or something that will find all of the matches for me.
I want to be able to exclude them from being run, when I run all of my features/scenarios.
I've tried the follow:
--tags ~#jira
--tags ~#jira*
--tags ~#jira=*
--tags ~#jira=
Unfortunately none have given my the results I wanted. I was only able to exclude them when I used the exact tag, ex. ~#jira=CIS-1234. It's not a good solution to have to add each single one (of the 17 different tags) to the command line. These tags can change frequently, with new ones being added and old ones being removed, plus it would make for one real long command.
Yes. First read this - there is this un-documented expression-language (based on JS) for advanced tag selction based on the #key=val1,val2 form: https://stackoverflow.com/a/67219165/143475
So you should be able to do this:
valuesFor('#jira').isPresent
And even (here s will be a string, on which you can even do JS regex if you know how):
valuesFor('#jira').isEach(s => s.startsWith('CIS-'))
Would be great to get your confirmation and then this thread itself can help others and we can add it to the docs at some point.

I am looking to find all images by Kawahara Keiga from Wikimedia.
The filenames usually contain the strings "RMNH.ART" and "Kawahara Keiga" - see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Naturalis_Biodiversity_Center_-_RMNH.ART.5_-_Carcinoplax_longimana_(De_Haan,_1833)_-_Kawahara_Keiga.jpg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Naturalis_Biodiversity_Center_-_RMNH.ART.537_-_Halieutaea_stellata_-_Kawahara_Keiga_-_Siebold_Collection.jpg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Naturalis_Biodiversity_Center_-_RMNH.ART.256_-_Hemitrygon_akajei_(M%C3%BCller_%26_Henle,_1841)_-_Kawahara_Keiga_-_Siebold_Collection.jpg
Is it possible to query a Wikimedia API and get a list of files filtered by "contains" or a regex or similar?
Answering your specific question, you can use:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch=RMNH.ART&srnamespace=6&srlimit=500&format=json
Alternatively though, since the images are categorised already, you could use this instead:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=categorymembers&cmtitle=Category:Kawahara_Collection_at_Naturalis_Biodiversity_Center&cmlimit=500&format=json
These will both return the first 500 files, and to get all of them, you will need to add &sroffset=500 or &cmcontinue. Admittedly, I've not quite sure how the second one works.
The docs for both of these are at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Search and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Categorymembers

Can you use wildcard characters with tags to get all matching tags

Closed 1 year ago.
We are using tags to be able to group features and senarios. For example, we have something like:
#jira=123
Scenario: test scenario 1
...
#jira=456
Scenario: test scenario 2, known failure
...
Scenario: test scenario 3, new feature
Now, we are hoping to run test that are not tagged with #jira=123 or #jira=456. Because we have many features and scenarios tagged with the #jira=somevalue, it is impractical to add them all. So I am looking for a way to be able to exclude anything tagged with #jira. I tried ~#jira and "~#jira=" but no luck.
Looking at the following junit case:
TagTest.java#testToString()
Which is using "#foo=" as a tag, but was not able to find an example. Is there a way to exclude a group of scenarios tagged by #jira, regardless of the tag value ?
The tag value is the whole string, even if it contains a = and you may assume there is key and a value.
But you could consider to use multiple tags, they are allowed.
So, in your case, I would use something like:
#jira=123
#jira
Scenario: test scenario 1
...
#jira=456
#jira
Scenario: test scenario 2, known failure
And the you can use the ~#jira to exclude all the #jira scenarios.
This will allow you to still reference the single #jira=123 when needed.
Yes, we haven't documented this well but this question here can be a start. Karate actually supports a mini expression language for tags.
Have a look at this test for some options: TagsTest.java
And this should work for your requirement, do confirm in the comments ! Yes just use the string below where you would normally put #jira etc.
!valuesFor('#jira').isPresent
One more important point. When you use the special expression language, any AND or OR complexity has to be managed within the single expression that you pass into the tags option. Only one expression is needed and the use of comma-separated values or multiple values for the tag parameter is not applicable.
For example:
To select scenarios that have values for either the #fail tag or the #bad tag (note the use of the JS || (OR) operator):
valuesFor('#fail').isPresent || valuesFor('#bad').isPresent
And to select any scenario that has values for the #fail tag and where the #smoke tag is present (without values, just the plain tag and no = part):
valuesFor('#fail').isPresent && anyOf('#smoke')
And yes, you can use the "expression language" on the command-line i.e. within the karate.options or as the --tags or -t option to the stand-alone JAR: https://stackoverflow.com/a/72054253/143475
I went through the Merge Tags here and here, but couldn't figure out the syntax that would allow me to show content based on whether the user has certain Tag or not.
Help?
My goal in case it helps:
User subscribes, and is queued for a welcome mail one day later. In meantime that user may get tagged (my way of segmenting them), and so, the next day when that user receives the welcome mail, the content needs to be catered based on the tag that user got.
Got a response from their support saying
merge tags do not work with Tags just yet
here's the whole thing:
While we do have conditional merge tags available, I'm afraid we do
not have any that would work with Tags. To be transparent, Tags were
recently added a few months ago, and there are some features in our
application that has not updated to work with Tags just yet.
Because conditional merge tags do not work with tags yet, the best
option would be to create multiple automations and send them out based
on each tags. If you do it that way, you'll be able to target those in
specific tags with specific content
Dug a little deeper from the first link. There is another link Use Conditional Merge Tag Blocks which contained the below code:
Name
IF-ELSE
Definition
Use ELSE to indicate alternative content to display if the *|MERGE|* tag value is false.
Example
*|IF:MERGE|* content to display *|ELSE:|* alternative content to display *|END:IF|*
Name
ELSEIF
Definition
Use ELSEIF to specify a new *|MERGE|* tag to be matched against if the first *|MERGE|* tag value is false.
Example
*|IF:TRANSACTIONS >= 20|* Enjoy this 40% off coupon! *|COUPON40|*
*|ELSEIF:TRANSACTIONS >= 10|* Enjoy this 20% off coupon! *|COUPON20|*
*|ELSE:|* Enjoy this 10% off coupon! *|COUPON10|* *|END:IF|*
More examples with definitions can be found here.
Hope this is the answer you were after.
I'm using cvs2svn to convert my repository. I've done it with success in one repository, and now my new problem is a second repository.
In my new conversion, I want to convert only the HEAD and one branch. cvs2svn only have "exclude" function for branches, but not "include". I have many many branches and excluding each and every one of them will take A LOT of work....
is there any way to convert only the trunk (HEAD) and only one branch?
thanks,
Oded
If you only want to retain the one branch and no tags, then this is easy. The first rule that matches a symbol is used, so specify the branch that you want to be included then exclude everything else:
cvs2svn --force-branch=mybranch --exclude='.*' ...
If you want to include not only the branch but also as many tags as possible, then it is a little bit trickier. Not only don't you necessarily know the names of all of the tags, but you also cannot include tags that are dependent on excluded branches. In this case, it is easiest to work with the --write-symbol-info and --symbol-hints options:
cvs2svn --write-symbol-info=symbol-info.out --passes=1:3 ...
This will create a file called "symbol-info.out" containing information about all CVS symbols. In your editor, open this file, find all of the lines corresponding to branches that you want to exclude, and change the third column of those lines to the word "exclude". Make sure that the third column of the line for the branch that you want to include contains the word "branch" and its fourth column is the path where you want it to end up.
Now run cvs2svn again, starting at pass 3, and using the edited symbol-info file as a symbol hints file:
cvs2svn --symbol-hints=symbol-info.out --passes=3 ...
you will get a lot of errors like:
ERROR: ExcludedSymbol('FOO_BRANCH') cannot be excluded because the following symbols depend on it:
BAR_TAG
BAZ_TAG
Now go back into the editor and change the listed tags (BAR_TAG and BAZ_TAG in the example) to be excluded too, then try running pass3 again. This procedure might need to be iterated a couple of times, but it should not be cumbersome because pass3 runs very quickly.
When you have gotten pass3 to complete without errors, run the rest of the conversion:
cvs2svn --symbol-hints=symbol-info.out --passes=4: ...
One problem is that cvs2svn not only needs to determine whether to include a branch or not, but (simultaneously) whether a symbol is a branch or a tag in the first place. So if you want to include that one branch, and also some tags, it's more difficult than just saying "include only that branch" - doing so would kill all tags.
IOW, cvs2svn doesn't really support that. You can work around by editing its source code. In cvs2svn_lib.symbol_strategy.BranchIfCommits, change the case where it returns Branch(symbol) to
if symbol.name == 'my_branch':
return Branch(symbol)
else:
return ExcludedSymbol(symbol)
IIUC, BranchIfCommits should be used by default.
Personally, I would use a different strategy:
1. convert the repository once, with all branches.
2. do a "svn ls" on branches, and redirect that into a file.
3. edit the file to construct an exclude regex out of it, of the form `b1|b2|...|bn`
I wouldn't call that a LOT of work...
