[Feature]: test.step/it.step (like in playwright) for the integrated tests (with @testing-library/react, for example) #16027
Description
🚀 Feature Proposal
In complex functional tests (to test react+redux+saga) in complex, it is very convenient to make a sequence of steps in the test, like a playwright
Motivation
I would like to see a more precise test structure in the reports.
Example
At the moment the test looks like this:
describe('Test select nodes on scheme canvas', () => {
it('Select RED node', async () => {
const { screen, store } = await initWebview();
// Add RED node
await screen.scheme.toolbar.buttonAddRedNode.click();
await expect(store.getNode('node-1)).toBeExisted();
await expect(screen.scheme.canvas.getNode('node-1')).toBeVisible();
// Select RED node
await screen.scheme.scheme.getNode('node-1').click();
await expect(store.getSelectedNode()).toEqual('node-1');
await expect(screen.scheme.canvas.getNode('node-1')).toBeSelected();
});
});Wanna:
describe('Test select nodes on scheme canvas', () => {
it('Select RED node', async () => {
const { screen, store } = await intitWebview();
await it.step('Add RED node', async () => {
await screen.scheme.toolbar.buttonAddRedNode.click();
await expect(store.getNode('node-1')).toBeExisted();
await expect(screen.scheme.canvas.getNode('node-1')).toBeVisible();
});
await it.step('Select RED node', async () => {
await screen.scheme.scheme.getNode('node-1').click();
await expect(store.getSelectedNode()).toEqual('node-1');
await expect(screen.scheme.canvas.getNode('node-1')).toBeSelected();
});
});
});Pitch
This pattern would seemingly work in both async and sync test blocks and would allow us to have more flexibility with writing out tests while still getting clear indication on what step a test failed on.

Happy to take a PR for this 🙂 If anybody picks this up there's no need to add support in

Hi @LeonxLJX, just checking in on this one — are you still actively working on it? I noticed PR #16157 has been stale for a while (unresolved merge conflicts, missing CLA, and a few failing checks), so I wanted to see if you have a WIP branch somewhere before I look into picking it up myself. No rush, just want to avoid duplicate work 🙂

Since there's been no update, I'll go ahead and start working on this. Will link a PR here once I have something ready — happy to coordinate if you're still planning to work on it too, @LeonxLJX.
