This PR

Adds an end-to-end Gherkin test suite that runs the official flagd-testbed feature files against the C++ flagd provider, using cwt-cucumber as the runner.

A real flagd binary is downloaded by Bazel and started as a subprocess for the duration of the run. The tests talk to it over gRPC exactly as a real application would — there are no mocks or fakes in the evaluation path.

This is purely additive: 20 new files, no existing file outside MODULE.bazel is modified, and no provider source is touched.

Related Issues

Fixes #91

Notes

Current test status:

231 Scenarios (133 failed, 98 passed)
1215 Steps  (133 failed, 14 skipped, 1068 passed)
0 undefined steps

The suite is not green, and that is why it is manual. The remaining failures are real provider gaps, not harness defects — see gherkin/README.md. The suite is written so that a step which cannot actually verify something fails rather than passes: a step recognising none of its inputs runs zero assertions, and reporting that as success is how a test suite ends up certifying unimplemented behaviour.

Follow-up Tasks

Tracking issue to flip this target off manual once the suite is green: #135
Fix all the bugs mentioned in gherkin/README.md

How to test

# Whole suite
bazel test //providers/flagd/tests/gherkin:gherkin_test --test_output=all

# A tag subset
bazel run //providers/flagd/tests/gherkin:gherkin_bin -- \
    --tags "@in-process and @targeting" \
    $PWD/bazel-cpp-sdk-contrib/external/+_repo_rules+flagd_testbed/gherkin/targeting.feature

# A single scenario by name
bazel run //providers/flagd/tests/gherkin:gherkin_bin -- \
    --name "Returns metadata" \
    $PWD/bazel-cpp-sdk-contrib/external/+_repo_rules+flagd_testbed/gherkin/metadata.feature

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds Bazel configuration for flagd Cucumber dependencies and test assets. It adds a C++20 Cucumber runner, shared test state, flagd process management, provider configuration steps, typed evaluation steps, and result assertions.

Changes

Flagd Cucumber test infrastructure

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bazel dependencies and test targets
MODULE.bazel, providers/flagd/*.BUILD, providers/flagd/tests/gherkin/BUILD, providers/flagd/tests/gherkin/.clang*
Bazel fetches Cucumber, the flagd testbed, and the Linux x86_64 flagd binary. It builds the Cucumber library and Gherkin targets with C++20 and Linux x86_64 constraints.
Flagd process and scenario lifecycle
providers/flagd/tests/gherkin/test_env.*, providers/flagd/tests/gherkin/test_state.*, providers/flagd/tests/gherkin/steps/lifecycle_steps.cpp
The test environment resolves runfiles, merges JSON fixtures, starts flagd, checks gRPC readiness, and restores shared test state between scenarios.
Shared state and provider configuration
providers/flagd/tests/gherkin/steps/config_steps.cpp, context_steps.cpp, flag_steps.cpp, provider_steps.cpp, step_utils.*
Step definitions configure providers, store flag and context data, restore environment variables, and convert values between JSON and OpenFeature types.
Evaluation assertions and Cucumber runner
providers/flagd/tests/gherkin/steps/evaluation_steps.cpp, providers/flagd/tests/gherkin/test_runner.cpp
Evaluation steps call typed OpenFeature methods and assert values, metadata, reasons, variants, and error codes. The runner normalizes tag and name arguments and returns the Cucumber result.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0ae95

This PR adds Bazel-based Cucumber test infrastructure for the flagd provider. Recent commits claim to address configuration pattern matching and prior review feedback, but verification against the current code shows three known gaps remain: fatal-status-code test scenarios can pass without truly validating the configured codes, cache-related test scenarios don't actually exercise caching behavior, and the build pulls two dependencies from mutable Git tags that could change without notice, risking non-reproducible test builds. These are confined to test infrastructure rather than production runtime, but should be resolved or explicitly accepted before merge.

In `@MODULE.bazel`:
- Line 50: Update both git_repository dependency declarations in MODULE.bazel to
use immutable commit hashes: replace tag 2.9 with
ec4dbcf23fcae77db411a13d9f1183c5dc24d5ae and tag v3.8.0 with
7575a1dc45f176e57e809748a712a555e9aa5d11.
- Around line 64-66: Restrict gherkin_test and its flagd_binary dependency to
the Linux x86_64 platform, using the repository’s existing Bazel
platform-constraint mechanism. Ensure the test cannot resolve or execute the
flagd_linux_x86_64 archive on other operating systems or CPU architectures.

In `@providers/flagd/tests/gherkin/BUILD`:
- Around line 57-59: Once the Gherkin scenarios pass, remove the "manual" tag
from the gherkin_test configuration so it is included by the GitHub Actions
bazel test //providers/... wildcard; retain the tag until that condition is met.

In `@providers/flagd/tests/gherkin/steps/config_steps.cpp`:
- Around line 16-17: Update the environment setup and CleanupEnv flow around
g_state.set_env_vars to capture each variable’s original value before the first
overwrite, then restore that value during cleanup instead of unconditionally
calling unsetenv; preserve unset behavior for variables that were initially
absent.
- Around line 136-142: Update TheOptionOfTypeShouldHaveValue to handle
fatalStatusCodes by asserting the expected value against
FlagdProviderConfig::GetFatalStatusCodes(), and add a final failure path for any
unsupported option name after the existing branches.

In `@providers/flagd/tests/gherkin/steps/evaluation_steps.cpp`:
- Line 99: Update the assertion step parsing around the int64 and floating-point
conversions at the referenced locations, including the steps using std::stoll
and std::stod. Use checked parsing helpers that catch conversion errors, fail
the assertion immediately with a clear message, and avoid allowing exceptions to
escape the noexcept test runner before output comparison.

In `@providers/flagd/tests/gherkin/steps/provider_steps.cpp`:
- Around line 22-25: Update InitializeProvider and FlagdProviderConfig to handle
the configured cache option before reusing or creating a provider: add cache
configuration support and include it in the stable-provider reuse key,
preserving reuse only when selector and cache settings match; alternatively,
explicitly reject unsupported cache options.

In `@providers/flagd/tests/gherkin/steps/step_utils.cpp`:
- Around line 113-118: Update ValueToJson’s numeric conversion to preserve the
stored numeric type without using AsInt() as a type check, which rounds
floating-point values such as 3.14; return integral values as integers and
floating-point values as doubles so JSON object assertions retain the original
number.

In `@providers/flagd/tests/gherkin/test_env.cpp`:
- Around line 298-302: The merged flag-file write using std::ofstream and dest
must validate both opening and writing succeeded; on failure, emit the
surrounding code’s CRITICAL message and exit consistently with comparable setup
failures, rather than continuing with an empty or truncated all_flags.json.

Nitpick comments:
