Specflow: How to skip BeforeStep, AfterStep for selected steps bindings?

[ghost]

Hi,

I have a global method with [BeforeStep] and [AfterStep] attribute. It is calling before and after all steps definitions in my tests dll.
Is it possible to skip execute it before and after selected steps. Something like that:

[Then(@"I should...."), @DO_NOT_RUN_BEFORE_STEP]
public void TESTSTEP()
{
}

You can use scoping (http://specflow.org/documentation/Scoped-Bindings/) or get the name of the scenario from the ScenarioContext and handle this in your step code.

I am not sure using scope is the correct way, when I am trying this:

[Then(@"I should..."), Scope(Tag='')]
public void TESTSTEP()
{
}

this step is not recognize in feature file.
I also don't want to skip beforestep and afterstep in all scenario steps but in one selected.

Scenario: TestScenario
Given TESTSTEP1 #call global [BeforeStep][AfterStep] method
And TESTSTEP2 #do not call global [BeforeStep][AfterStep] method
When TESTSTEP3 #call global [BeforeStep][AfterStep] method

[BeforeStep]
[AfterStep]
public static void GlobalBEFOREAFTER()
{
     try
     {
         CHECK_IF RUN CODE
     }
     catch (Exception ex)
     {
     }
}

Sorry, I misread step with scenario. Scopes don't work here.
You have to do this in code like this:

[Binding]
public class BindingClass
{
    private ScenarioStepContext _scenarioStepContext;

    public BindingClass(ScenarioStepContext scenarioStepContext)
    {
        _scenarioStepContext = scenarioStepContext;
    }

    [BeforeStep()]
    [AfterStep()]
    public BeforeAfterHook()
    {
        if (_scenarioStepContext.StepInfo.Text == "") //check for step
        {
        }
        else
        {
        }
    }
}

Thx for help :)
What is under "_scenarioStepContext.StepInfo.Text" name of the step method or step Then/Given/And text attribute?

What when I have 10 steps method, do I need to add 10 ifs in BeforeAfterHook method? Can I mark somehow these steps methods to do not use BeforeAfterHook step method?

[SabotageAndi]

As far as I remember StepInfo.Text should be the text of the scenario in the feature file without the keyword at the beginning.

[ghost]

Yeah. but this is not the best approach :(
The better would be to add attribute to steps method to not use BeforeAfterHook method.

PS. I got nullReferenceException on ScenarioStepContext

Edit: You missed Current :). ScenarioStepContext.Current.StepInfo.Text

[SabotageAndi]

Sorry, we don't have anything else to achieve your requirements. It would need to extend Scoping for a step level. Feel free to submit an PR for that.

[SabotageAndi]

Ah, the ScenarioStepContext is not in the DI container. Yeah, so you need to do ScenarioStepContext.Current.

[ghost]

I solved the problem :)

ScenarioStepContext.Current.StepInfo.BindingMatch.StepBinding.Method.Type.Name return the name of class for current step. I just need to put all steps I don want to use BeforeAfterHook method for in one class, then put it name in if loop.
