run only first example of each table

[sean.wo...@gmail.com]

Hello everybody,

I'm looking for a way to run only the first example of all my feature files. Is this possible?

Maybe with a pre-hook? Can I get visibility into which example is running, and ignore all but the first?

Thanks!

I don't think this is possible

The fact that you want to do it is an indication that you have some fairly big problems with you scenarios. Big example tables are bad.

One simple, but time consuming thing you could do is extract a single example into a separate scenario. Tag this @fast, and tag the scenario with the big table as @slow. Then you can choose which ones to run using the existing tags functionality.

I bet that I could whip up some code that would do that, yes. But why is this a this something that you want to do? What are you trying to accomplish?

I don't know what can be done inside of Cucumber itself. I was just going to determine the file and line number of every one of your 'first examples' and then tell Cucumber to run them. 

 

Thanks!

I went ahead and wrote some code for fun: https://gist.github.com/enkessler/4574f008e850eedaad32fa233a565de9

It only runs the first scenario of every feature but it would be straightforward to adapt it so that it runs the first row of every example table.

Can you explain why you want to do this?

You could also have 2 examples tables for each scenario, with one table tagged @critical or @fast or something. The first examples table could have the example you want to run. 

I'm also interested in why, though.
