[cypress/grep] Add capability to filter spec by referring to Typescript enums

[kunalashar25]

What would you like?

My tests are written as

import { TestLayer, TestSeverity } from 'utils/testTags';

describe('check tags result', { tags: [TestLayer.API] }, () => {
    it('test1', { tags: [TestSeverity.CRITICAL] }, () => {
        console.log('');
    });
    it('test2', { tags: [TestSeverity.NORMAL] }, () => {
        console.log('');
    });
});

I have an enum for tags

export enum TestSeverity {
    BLOCKER = '@blocker',
    CRITICAL = '@critical',
    NORMAL = '@normal',
    MINOR = '@minor'
}

export enum TestLayer {
    UI = '@ui',
    API = '@api'
}

When I run my cases with the below config

grepFilterSpecs: true,
grepOmitFiltered: true

I get the following console message and it cannot filter tests

Could not determine test names in file: ${fileName}
Will run it to let the grep filter the tests

While debugging I observed it printed cypress-grep found grep tags "@ui" in 51 specs +193ms but only 2 files have a @ui tag.

Why is this needed?

Grouping tags in enums is helping to have a centralized place to identify all the tags of a project and will not lead to spelling mistakes or duplicates/unnecessary tags.

identifying tags from enum will help to leverage this capability to the fullest.

My wild guess is that culprit of the issue lies here: bahmutov/find-test-names#78

We encountered the same issue

[hshimmex]

We see that also. Any update? it is very important

[preeti-bellad-sp]

I am also facing the same issue.

Also having problems with this issue -- is it on the roadmap?

[vincezipparro]

Also facing the same issue. When using grouped tags in an array like { tags: ['@regression', '@qa1']} it works but { tags: [Tag.REGRESSION, Env.QA]} does not

@jennifer-shehane is this slated to become a higher priority? It's quite tedious and hard to manage updating tags individual per spec file

[preeti-bellad-sp]

@jennifer-shehane Can we please take this on priority? As it is affecting cy-grep plugin and other plugins as well.
