pending in feature crashes the complete test class

[Jens Schauder]

I have a class with several features in in it. I than added another
one and tried to make it pending, since I didn't thought of any
features yet:


feature("a user can do something really cool"){
pending
}

This didn't work at all. Instead of reporting a pending test the test
class threw a PendingTestException, without executing ( or at least
without reporting) all the other test (i.e. scenarios).

Is there any fundamentally wrong with what I did (apart from that it
does not work)?
Couldn't / shouldn't a Feature that aborts with a PendingTestException
be considered a Pending test?

Hi Jens,

In a FeatureSpec, features are major ideas, which are divided into
scenarios, which are smaller ideas that make up the feature. So a
features is made up of scenarios. The problem you're having is trying
to make an entire feature pending. That indeed won't work. You need to
put some scenarios in there and those you can make pending, like:

feature("a user can do something really cool") {

scenario("the user creates a brand new cool thing") (pending)
scenario("the user delets his or her cool thing") (pending)
}
