Run a subset of tests

[lloydwatkin]

Is there a way to run a subset of tests (I'm integrating yadda with mocha).

Currently I'm fudging it by adding an only annotation and calling done for tests which don't have this annotation (if there is an @Only anywhere in my test suite.

This is ok except:

• It shows all other tests as passed (not so much of an issue)
• It still runs before, after, beforeEach, afterEach which is causing the browser to still open and close (which slows things down), there is no this for the context of these functions. Maybe we could pass the scenario to it?

mocha -g "some text" will run tests which match the specified string. Be careful though - if you are using the StepLevelPlugin instead of the ScenarioLevelPlugin, it will only run the steps which match the text, not the whole scenario.

I'll look into supporting @only. Suspect it will also work incorrectly with the StepLevelPlugin

Great, thanks! Would be very helpful.

As of 0.10.12 you should be able to annotate a feature or scenario with @only to get mocha's describe.only and it.only functionality

Confirmed on both 'feature' and 'scenario'. Thanks!
