Focused Specs and Suites

TestBox : Behavior Driven Development (BDD)

Specs and suites can be focused so ONLY those suites and specs execute.  You will do this by prefixing certain functions with the letter f or by using the focused argument in each of them. The reporters will show that these suites or specs where execute ONLY The functions you can prefix are:
it()
describe()
story()
given()
when()
then()
feature()
1
fstory( "A spec", function() {
2
     it("was just skipped, so I will never execute", function() {
3
          coldbox = 0;
4
          coldbox++;
5
​
6
          expect( coldbox ).toBe( 1 );
7
     });
8
});

describe("A spec", function() {
11
     it("is just a closure, so it can contain any code", function() {
12
          coldbox = 0;
13
          coldbox++;
14
​
15
          expect( coldbox ).toBe( 1 );
16
     });

     fit("can have more than one expectation, but I am skipped", function() {
19
          coldbox = 0;
20
          coldbox++;
21
​
22
          expect( coldbox ).toBe( 1 );
23
          expect( coldbox ).toBeTrue();
24
     });
25
});

Please note that if a suite is focused, then all of its children will execute.
