Question: Is there a way to properly set result for behave run? about behave HOT 2 CLOSED

I may be wrong when judging your attempted solution, forgive me in that case, but shouldn't this be realized by a very simple test, like this?

When I start the application with a wrong command
Then the startup should fail

And in the "the startup should fail" BDD function you perform whatever assert necessary to evaluate the "failing" to True.

Messing around with test tooling is not only tedious but also difficult to understand for anyone taking over maintenance of your code after you. Hence, make all your tests as simple and straight-forward as possible. Really, really simple, extremely straight-forward.

Test suites grow and grow, they inevitably get out of control just like the business code (if without tests), otherwise.

Yeah, the test case and solution are very simple just like you wrote.

I agree the simplicity is the key here.

I was just wondering if there is something like this in behave but I guess not and as you said it makes more sense to write it as a separate steps.

I also agree that messing with tooling can be tedious and in hindsight the solution should not be making a tool to mark a test case, but making the test case straight-forward. I will be dropping the attempt to make feature like this.

Thank you
