Mark Steps as Not Implemented

To mark a step as not implemented at runtime, you need to throw a PendingStepException. The Runtime of Reqnroll will detect this and will report the appropriate test result back to your test runner.

There are multiple ways to throw the exception.

Throwing the PendingStepException

You can throw the exception using a throw statement. In this case you have the possibility to provide a custom message.

Default Message

Step Definition File

[When("I set the current ScenarioContext to pending")]
public void WhenIHaveAPendingStep()
{
    throw new PendingStepException();
}

Custom Message

Step Definition File

[When("I set the current ScenarioContext to pending")]
public void WhenIHaveAPendingStep()
{
    throw new PendingStepException("custom pendingstep message");
}

Using ScenarioContext.Pending helper method

The ScenarioContext class has a static helper method to throw the default PendingStepException.

Step Definition File

[When("I set the current ScenarioContext to pending")]
public void WhenIHaveAPendingStep()
{
    ScenarioContext.StepIsPending();
}
