[cucumber] Performance of 0.1.99?

Testing RSpec
1

Has anyone noticed a slowdown in performance of their cucumber suite
from 0.1 to 0.2alpha?

I haven’t ruled out something in our suite itself, but the slowdown
appeared to occur concurrently with our upgrade to 0.2alpha.

Cheers,
Luke

I haven’t noticed anything. Do you want to create a benchmark?

Ours is getting slower all the time (as we add more features) so it’s
very hard to say. I’ve noticed it seems to take a little longer to
crank up because the features are all parsed first - I’m not sure that
happened before.

I just ran a subset of our suite with 0.1.x and then with master.
Times were pretty close. Guess I need to keep hunting for the
culprit. :slight_smile:

Cuke parsed all the features (well the ones you tell it to) in its
previous incarnations. The major difference is the new Abstract syntax
tree structure where we represent a more complex object structure than
before (but not massively I think). And hence we have more complex tree
traversal but again I don’t see it being huge.

It would be interesting to see some performance comparisons.
