Today we are releasing Codeception 1.5.4. This is minor bugfixing release consisting of GitHub issues.

And a small yet awaitied feature introduced: ability to skip and mark Cepts as incomplete.

It's pretty simple, though.

{% highlight php %}

<?php

$scenario->skip();

$I = new WebGuy($scenario);

$I->wanTo('do something, but I would rather not');

$I->amOnPage('/');

//.....

?>

{% endhighlight %}

This makes this test to be skipped.

Similarly it can be marked as incomplete.

{% highlight php %}

<?php

$scenario->incomplete();

$I = new WebGuy($scenario);

$I->wanTo('do something, but I would rather not');

$I->amOnPage('/');

//.....

?>

{% endhighlight %}

The `skip` and `incomplete` methods can take one argument, that descrines a reason why this tests were marked this way.

{% highlight php %}

<?php

$scenario->skip('waiting for new markup');

$scenario->incomplete('welcome page appearence not tested');

?>

{% endhighlight %}

## Bugfixes

* Symfony2 kernel is rebooted on each run. That make Symfony2 tests less dependent on each other.

* `seeFillField` method now [accepts label as parameter](https://github.com/Codeception/Codeception/issues/162).

* [Encoding issues](https://github.com/Codeception/Codeception/issues/120) for non-latin chars in output fixed. Unfortunately this fix will work only in PHP 5.4.

* `seeLink` now doesn't [return false positive results](https://github.com/Codeception/Codeception/issues/90)
