Grouping tests with Nightwatch

Overview

Nightwatch makes it possible to organize your test scripts into groups and run them as needed. To group tests together just place them in the same sub-folder. The folder name is the name of the group.

Example

lib/
  ├── selenium-server-standalone.jar
custom-commands/
  ├── loginUser.js
  ├── attachPicture.js
tests/
  ├── logingroup
  |   ├── login_test.js
  |   └── otherlogin_test.js
  ├── addressbook
  |   ├── addressbook_test.js
  |   └── contact_test.js
  ├── chat
  |   ├── chatwindow_test.js
  |   ├── chatmessage_test.js
  |   └── otherchat_test.js
  └── smoketests
      ├── smoke_test.js
      └── othersmoke_test.js

To run only the smoketests group you would do the following:

nightwatch --group smoketests

Also, if you would want to skip running the smoketests group you would do the following:

nightwatch --skipgroup smoketests

To skip multiple groups, just add them as comma-separated:

nightwatch --skipgroup addressbook,chat
