Forum: RSpec Cucumber: Running a single feature / scenario

Am taking cucumber for a first spin today - first impressions are good.

How do I go about running a single feature or scenario so I don't
have to run the whole lot when I'm working on a particular one?

cheers,
Matt

There's no support for this yet in Story Runner or Cucumber. Feel free
to add a feature request at

Yes there is. It's been in Cucumber for at least a month.

cucumber --help

Example:

cucumber path/to/file.feature --line 33

Or with Rake:

rake features FEATURE=path/to/file.feature CUCUMBER_OPTS="--line 33"

It's not documented on the Wiki yet. Pass the line number of one of
the steps. I think it's broken when GivenScenario is involved.

Thanks Aslak. i've added a bit more detail to the github wiki to
explain the line number thing.

--line option has been deprecated, use the colon syntax instead.

cucumber path/to/file.feature --line 33

has become

cucumber path/to/file.feature:33


PS. updating this thread because of a high google page rank, it's the 
first search result for "cucumber running a single scenario"

cucumber path/to/file.feature --line 33

seems to still work (google led me here, too).

For sake of completeness, if you are using bundle in rails3, and don't
want to invoke rake [to save init time], you can also execute it the
following way:

bundle exec cucumber --guess --profile default
path/feature_name.feature:line_number

Cucumber has its own mailing list.
