I am looking for a way to keep a specific feature test within my codebase to use later but I don't want cucumber to run it for now because it is slowing down my running of the tests. Is there a way that i can do this?

  • Yes I am very familiar with rspec. I am just looking for an alternative way to keep my test pending. – Lilp May 07 '15 at 15:43

You can add the @wip (work in progress) tag before the scenario you want to skip.

Feature: Doing stuff
  @wip
  Scenario: Some Sweet Tests

You can tag the test with something like @slow and then omit it when you execute cucumber. That would look something like this:

cucumber --tags ~@slow

Later, when perhaps you want to execute only that test, you can do:

cucumber --tags @slow
