Linting only the staged feature files in a pre-commit hook — is --json stable enough?
Trying to keep the hook under a second on a repo with about four hundred feature files, so linting the whole project every commit is out. This is what I have: Two things I cannot…
asked by Ingrid Solberghar record printed no scrub line and the Cookie header is still sitting in the file
We only have one project registered, so I have got into the habit of leaving -p off and letting it pick. Recorded fine, scenario replays. But there was no line like this at the…
asked by Devon MarshCan --explain show the values a layer lost with, not just the winner?
The provenance table gives one row per leaf with the winning layer. Passing --headed shows runtime.headed cli; exporting SDODS_HEADED=1 instead shows processEnv; with both it…
asked by Koen VermeulenDoes --repeat-each 5 with --shard 1/4 repeat inside the shard or across shards?
Setting up a soak job: run the regression five times over, spread across four machines, and fail if anything is flaky. What I cannot work out is whether the repeats are part of…
asked by Marijn Kuipersdods har list leaves glob and recorded blank even though the sidecar exists
Cosmetic, but it made me think the recording was broken. The sidecar is right there next to the recording and it has the timestamp in it: The replay works. Why does the listing…
asked by Zeynep ArslanRun directory not found after moving the artifacts root, exit 2
We moved the artifacts root off the workspace disk on our agents: The run is fine and the directory is there with everything in it. The step afterwards that publishes the run to…
asked by Zeynep ArslanDoes -t smoke,sanity mean both tags or either tag?
Reading a colleague's script: No at-signs, a comma, no quotes. It runs more scenarios than -t @smoke alone, so I assume it is an or — but I want to be sure it is not something…
asked by Zeynep Arslansdods doctor says "demo-shop/staging vars — 0 var(s) resolved" and passes. Is that right?
Green tick, zero variables. The staging environment definitely has a ${...} in it, so I expected at least one. Is the check finding nothing, or finding nothing to complain about?
asked by Zeynep ArslanInstalled with brew and there is no SDODS in my Applications folder
I wanted the desktop app and installed with brew because that is how I install everything: It succeeded, and sdods --version works, but there is nothing in Applications and no…
asked by Rasha Halabiscoop install sdods gave me the app, not the sdods command — where is the CLI on Windows?
Added the bucket and installed: I now have a desktop application. What I wanted was sdods run in a terminal. Did I pick the wrong package name?
asked by Fiona McAllisterEvery PR runs all 190 specs — is there a --since for sdods run?
PR checks take 40 minutes because we run the whole suite on every push, and a typical PR touches one module. I was expecting something like but that is not a flag. There is…
asked by Thom VasseurClosed the browser after ten minutes and got "Codegen closed without writing a spec"
Recorded for about ten minutes, closed the window, and: Nothing under projects/demo-shop/recorded/. Ten minutes gone. What did I do wrong, and is there anywhere the actions are…
asked by Paulo MendesAdding Allure without losing the SDODS dashboard and the ndjson
Our QA lead wants Allure because that is what the other teams publish. I am happy to produce it, but the last time I touched a reporter list in another tool I lost everything…
asked by Paulo Mendes--strict on sdods run did not turn warnings into failures like it does on sdods lint
We wanted the nightly to fail on lint warnings, so somebody moved the flag onto the run: It ran, it passed, and the eleven warnings we were trying to catch are still there. On…
asked by Paulo Mendessdods doctor lists six credential rows for agents — which one do I actually need?
New to this. sdods doctor gives me a tidy screen and then a token section that lists what looks like six different ways to pay for the same thing. ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, a claude CLI…
asked by Paulo MendesNo projects found when running inside a container, works fine on the host
Same repo, mounted into the image at /srv/app. On the host every command is fine. Inside: And naming one explicitly gives a slightly different message: The directory is…
asked by Paulo MendesIs there a --since? Every pull request runs the entire suite
A one-line change to a CSS file runs 900 scenarios. Other tools I have used take a diff and work out which tests could possibly be affected. I have read the flag list twice and I…
asked by Paulo MendesWhat do the installer exit codes mean? They do not match the CLI ones
I want our provisioning script to react differently depending on why the install failed — retry a download, but fail the build for a bad flag. I found the CLI exit code table and…
asked by Nikhil Sanedoctor reports chromium missing but the install said it downloaded it
Install finished with no errors. sdods doctor disagrees about the browser: Everything else in the report is fine. Do I need to reinstall everything, or is there a smaller fix?
asked by Tobi Schraderbrew install asks me to trust the SDODS tap first — is that expected?
Ran the documented command: Homebrew stops and asks me to confirm I trust the tap, and prints a brew trust command to run. I have installed plenty of things with brew and not…
asked by Sergio Alcaraz"The checkout is missing packages/cli — the clone looks incomplete"
Installing with --source git because I want to work on SDODS itself. The clone appears to succeed and then: Exit code 7. ~/.sdods/app exists and has a .git directory in it, so…
asked by Kostya PetrovLint passes but the run fails on a missing step — why is undefined-step checking opt-in?
Clean lint, then the run dies immediately on a step nobody wrote. Turning the flag on finds it: If it can find it, why is it not on by default? Feels like the most valuable check…
asked by Ingrid Solbergsdods har record --interactive exits before the browser even opens
Trying to capture a flow by hand rather than through a scenario. Fine, added --name checkout. Codegen opened, I clicked through the flow, closed the window, and got this: Nothing…
asked by Ingrid Solberg"@sdods/cli is not available on the npm registry" behind an internal mirror
Our build network can only reach an internal registry mirror. The installer stops before it downloads anything: Exit code 7. The package resolves fine from my laptop, so I assume…
asked by Ify AdeyemiRoute keys like pageid-edit-components-section-palette — do I have to type these?
The generated routes: map is full of keys like and the navigate step takes the key: Nobody on my team is going to type that correctly twice. Can the key be something else?
