[Cucumber] Enforce a skip on a non-implemented step

Testing RSpec
1

Hi,

When we create step defintions. For example:

When /^that data is loaded$/ do

end

The above is seen in the Cucucmber run as implemented.

Is it possible to put something within this method to enforce a skip
flag?

I’m not sure I understand what you mean. You want to skip running
certain step definitions if a certain condition is true?

When /^that data is loaded$/ do
unless ENV[‘MAGIC’]
# load the data
end
end

$ MAGIC=true cucumber …

Do you mean something like the ‘pending’ function but it instead marks
the step as skipped?

When /^that data is loaded$/ do
skip
end

Are you familiar with the “pending” method?

i.e.

When /^that data is loaded$/
pending
end
