By default whenever stories are played in sequence, they stop when the first failure is encountered.

However, if your stories take a long time to run you may wish to continue after the first failure.

Code Example

example1.story:

A Create file:
  steps:
  - Create file
B Create file:
  steps:
  - Fail

example2.story:

C Create file a third time:
  steps:
    - Create file

With code:

from hitchstory import StoryCollection, BaseEngine
from pathlib import Path


class Engine(BaseEngine):
    def create_file(self, filename="step1.txt", content="example"):
        with open(filename, 'w') as handle:
            handle.write(content)

    def fail(self):
        raise Exception("Error")

Stop on failure is default behavior

StoryCollection(
    Path(".").glob("*.story"), Engine()
).ordered_by_name().play()

Will output:

RUNNING A Create file in /path/to/working/example1.story ... SUCCESS in 0.1 seconds.
RUNNING B Create file in /path/to/working/example1.story ... FAILED in 0.1 seconds.

    B Create file:
      steps:
      - Fail


[1]: function 'fail'
  /path/to/working/examplepythoncode.py


        59 :
        60 :             def fail(self):
    --> 61 :                 raise Exception("Error")
        62 :



builtins.Exception
  Common base class for all non-exit exceptions.
Error

Continue on failure

StoryCollection(
    Path(".").glob("*.story"), Engine()
).ordered_by_name().continue_on_failure().play()

Will output:

RUNNING A Create file in /path/to/working/example1.story ... SUCCESS in 0.1 seconds.
RUNNING B Create file in /path/to/working/example1.story ... FAILED in 0.1 seconds.

    B Create file:
      steps:
      - Fail


[1]: function 'fail'
  /path/to/working/examplepythoncode.py


        59 :
        60 :             def fail(self):
    --> 61 :                 raise Exception("Error")
        62 :
