Turn off nested step deprecation warnings

[byrnejb]

Is there a switch, flag or configuration setting that can turn cucumber's " WARNING: Using 'Given/When/Then' in step definitions is deprecated " message off?  I am working on an old feature set and this is generating an immense amount of noise.  I cannot see anything in the help output that deals with it either.  Something relevant might be there but I cannot see it.

No there is no flag to turn it off.

It is written to STDERR though, so you could redirect that output to /dev/null or a file, so you could see the output that interests you. e.g.

`cucumber 2>/dev/null`

You should probably fix all the places that are reported, as the deprecated Given/When/Then nested step declarations will be removed at some point - I would guess for 2.0.

Yes, I know that I should remove deprecated elements. However, at the
moment I am rather pressed for time and tidy work must perforce wait.
Rerouting STDERR would of course hide completely the very thing that
the deprecation notices are obscuring, which is an actual error.

If it cannot be turned off then so be it. I will cope. Grumble,
gnash, sputter. mutter. . .

Is it an error reported by a failing cuc? Failed steps should still be reported.

If you redirect STDERR to a file, you could use your editor/grep to remove the deprecation warnings. Might get you over the hump at least, and let you spot the error. :)
