Getting the file a scenario is defined in (Cucumber)

Testing RSpec
1

In Cucumber…
Is there a simple way to find out what file a scenario is defined in?

I’d like to use this information to load a set of fixtures depending on
which feature is being run. So if I’m running the ‘login.feature’ file,
I’d like to be able to load the set of fixtures under
‘/fixtures/login/*.yml’

No, but there is a dirty way:

Before do |scenario|
f = scenario.instance_variable_get(‘@feature’)
if f
puts f.file
end
end

The scenario variable will be a Scnario, ScenarioOutline or ExampleCells
instance. In the latter case there is no @feature ivar.
Please file a feature request (or better yet - a patch) if you want to
see
this improved.

Also take a look at this ticket - maybe a cleaner way to achieve what
you
want.
