Example

Feature: Navigate to BELLATRIX Online Rocket Shop
	To purchase a new rocket
	As a Nuclear Engineer 
	I want to be able to buy a new rocket.

Background:
Given I use app with path AssemblyFolder\Demos\Wpf\WPFSampleApp.exe
And I restart the app on test fail
And I take a screenshot for failed tests
And I record a video for failed tests
And I open app

	Then I assert that keep me logged is checked
    And I assert that permanent trasnfer is checked
    And I assert that Item2 right item is selected

Explanations

Given I record a video for failed tests

This is a predefined BELLATRIX SpecFlow step for cross-platform video recording. The engine checks after each test, its result, depending on the specified video saves the video. All video recording modes:

Given I record a video for all tests

Records and save video for all tests.

Given I record a video for passed tests

Saves the videos only for pass tests.

Given I record a video for failed tests

Saves the videos only for failed tests.

Given I record a video for failed tests

Configuration

If you open the testFrameworkSettings.json file, you find the videoRecordingSettings section that controls this behaviour.

"videoRecordingSettings": {
       "isEnabled": "true",
        "waitAfterFinishRecordingMilliseconds": "500",
        "filePath": "C:\\Troubleshooting\\Videos"
}

You can turn off the making of videos for all tests and specify where the videos to be saved. waitAfterFinishRecordingMilliseconds adds some time to the end of the test, making the video not going black immediately. In the extensibility chapters read more about how you can create custom video recorder or change the saving strategy.
