ccjs dry-run

Preview your test suite without launching a browser — validates syntax and displays the step tree.

Usage

ccjs dry-run [options]

What It Does

The dry-run command parses your test files and displays all features, scenarios, and steps without executing them. This is useful for:

• Validating test syntax before running
• Getting an overview of your test suite structure
• Verifying grep patterns match the right tests
• Quick feedback in CI before committing to a full run

Flags

Flag	Short	Description

--debug		Show debug output
--bootstrap		Enable bootstrap script in dry-run mode
--plugins <list>	-p	Enable specific plugins (comma-separated)
--config <path>	-c	Specify a custom config file

Examples

# Preview all tests
ccjs dry-run

# Preview with expanded steps
ccjs dry-run --steps
