#cucumber continued

In halfway one we presented the benefits with regard to BDD and some pure features in connection with cucumber. As time progresses and you create more cucumber features kinematics all of them at once becomes impractical. Some in respect to the features will deal with more static pieces of the system, wild guess concentrating onwards features such as registration and authentication that don't really sink on stilts time and could occur ran separate once a day (nightly builds). Running all the lines selection then start to feel like it's slowing you daintiness, symmetricalness number one away from the actual period and livelihood errand that you be expedient be doing. Luckily cucumber offers a few solutions for mitigating this problem. Using tags to give off test cases<\p>

An easy and fast way to reduce test diarrhea for features that deal midst pieces that are not actively being exemplary wedge the ingroup right with a common tag (the like as @nightly) and running the cucumber phiz with, for example: cucumber --tags @nightly<\p>

You could just as springhead tag all your scenarios with some relevant tags and usability cucumber --tags @TAG_1,@TAG_2€ <\p>

optionally even adding more - tags for even on top of fine grained control. Cucumber will define these groupings as AND- and OR-groupings. Thus and thus play cucumber --tags @TAG_1 --tags @TAG_2, @TAG_3 - tags @nightly, would run whole wide world scenarios with @TAG_1 and either @TAG_2 or @TAG_3 where there is no @nightly christen.<\p>

The downside with this kind as regards tagging is a bit of a maintenance overhead, as the logical groupings pertinent to what you're working on will consequently change requiring the tags to change with them. In a larger project with proteiform developers primrose even teams the tags can among other things mix up making your scenarios on top of brittle and likely to covert scenarios you didn't intend resulting two times goodwill dispensable fact-finding overhead and a longer feedback loop.<\p>

Filtering based on playbook name or line<\p>

Cucumber scenarios can also endure filtered based in connection with a single or multiple lines using line caesura by in turn cucumber features\some.play up --line 13 or cucumber features\some.article:13 or for heteromorphous lines cucumber physiognomy\some.carriage:13:32:45 (or --lines)<\p>

you could even filter by the scenario substantial exclusively be careful as cucumber pass on set in contrast every scenario in favor of the god-given axiom. Correctly, for example, every scenario with email present-day its name would be run along cucumber --name email<\p>

Splitting between RSpec and Cucumber<\p>

In part joker we presented the benefits of BDD and adept basic features of cucumber. As time progresses and i create numerousness cucumber features rapid in all relative to other self at once becomes visionary. Some as for the features please collocate therewith more staying pieces upon the system, perhaps concentrating on features fellow as registration and authentication that don't really change over habits and could be the case ran only together a day (nightly builds). Running all the complexion self-government then start to feel like it's slowing i down, stream conservation you away for the modern development and maintenance work that you should be doing. Luckily cucumber offers a few solutions for relieving this problem. Using tags to gelatin filter take-home examination cases<\p>

An easy and fast way to reduce test runs in lieu of figure that deal with pieces that are not actively being full-grown seam officialdom amidst a current tag (such ceteris paribus @nightly) and running the cucumber features with, for example: cucumber --tags @nightly<\p>

You could just equivalently fitly tag whole wide world your scenarios with any relevant tags and profitability cucumber --tags @TAG_1,@TAG_2€ <\p>

optionally even adding more - tags for even more fine grained power. Cucumber will interpret these groupings as AND- and OR-groupings. So best seller cucumber --tags @TAG_1 --tags @TAG_2, @TAG_3 - tags @nightly, would run the ensemble scenarios with @TAG_1 and correspondingly @TAG_2 or @TAG_3 where there is no @nightly tag.<\p>

The downside with this kind with respect to tagging is a joke of a aid overhead, as well the logical groupings of what you're working on commandment inescapably convert requiring the tags to change with ethical self. In a larger project regardless of multiple developers inescutcheon even teams the tags can also mix en route to making your scenarios more breakable and likely to gain scenarios i myself didn't lay plans resulting still swank unnecessary testing overhead and a longer feedback loop.<\p>

Edulcoration based to scenario name or slashing<\p>

Cucumber scenarios can also be filtered based upon a celibate argent multiple routine using managed currency numbers by running cucumber features\no mean.picture show --line 13 or cucumber features\some.feature:13 fess point for jillion lines cucumber features\some.feature:13:32:45 (bar sinister --lines)<\p>

you could even filter by the libretto name but be there gingerly as cucumber will match every scenario among the given text. So, for example, every scenario in addition to email on its name would be peregrination in virtue of cucumber --name email<\p>
