I’ve just noticed that my “skipped” steps are actually running, but
their errors are being swallowed. They can print to the screen,
however. Is that intentional? It’s certainly not what I was
expecting. I assumed skipped steps were…skipped.

Swallowing the errors is intentional, because once a previous step is
either pending or failing, subsequent failures/successes don’t really
mean anything.
Perhaps the thing to do is really skip them. If you think that is the
way to go, please add a ticket.
Another possibility would be to really skip these by default, but have
a flag that runs and reports all steps (even the ones that are
currently skipped). I can imagine that this would be useful in
debugging, but I wouldn’t want it to be the default because of the
unnecessary noise it would create most of the time.
WDYT?
