==============================================================================
Context Attributes
==============================================================================
A context object (:class:`~behave.runner.Context`) is handed to
* step definitions (step implementations)
* behave hooks (:func:`before_all`, :func:`before_feature`, ..., :func:`after_all`)
Behave Attributes
-------------------------
The :pypi:`behave` runner assigns a number of attributes to the context object
during a test run.
=============== ========= ============================================= ==============================================================
Attribute Name Layer Type Description
=============== ========= ============================================= ==============================================================
config test run :class:`~behave.configuration.Configuration` Configuration that is used.
aborted test run bool Set to true if test run is aborted by the user.
failed test run bool Set to true if a step fails.
feature feature :class:`~behave.model.Feature` Current feature.
tags feature, list<:class:`~behave.model.Tag`> Effective tags of current feature, scenario, scenario outline.
scenario
active_outline scenario :class:`~behave.model.Row` Current row in a scenario outline (in examples table).
outline
scenario scenario :class:`~behave.model.Scenario` Current scenario.
log_capture scenario :class:`~behave.log_capture.LoggingCapture` If logging capture is enabled.
stdout_capture scenario :class:`~StringIO.StringIO` If stdout capture is enabled.
stderr_capture scenario :class:`~StringIO.StringIO` If stderr capture is enabled.
table step :class:`~behave.model.Table` Contains step's table, otherwise None.
text step String Contains step's multi-line text (unicode), otherwise None.
=============== ========= ============================================= ==============================================================
.. note::
`Behave attributes`_ in the context object should not be modified by a user.
See :class:`~behave.runner.Context` class description for more details.
User Attributes
-------------------------
A user can assign (or modify) own attributes to the context object.
But these attributes will be removed again from the context object depending
where these attributes are defined.
