Using Background in SpecFlow V2.4 causes a failure to build behind code file

[aceroraptor]

Hi,

Using the latest SpecFlow v2.4 with a Background(it was white and not the expected Blue).  Results in a failure to generate the behind code file for my feature file.

On one occasion I got an exception; see ActivityLog entry and attached error pop up.

Feature file snippet

Feature: NSV001_RouteUnderThreshold

@newShareVelocity: 

Background: 

    Given I update "Market Access" file with:

| Environment | RouteName                 | RouteGroup | Limit | SpeedBump |

| IDX               | MSPOOL_GEB6_IDX | Small             | 0      | 14000000     |

Scenario: CAS does not Generate an NSV Alert when HiFlow total shares below threshold 

..........

Generated code behind file:NSV001_RouteUnderThreshold.feature.cs

#error (8:1): expected: #TagLine, #ScenarioLine, #ScenarioOutlineLine, #Comment, #Empty, got 'Background:'

#error (9:5): expected: #TagLine, #ScenarioLine, #ScenarioOutlineLine, #Comment, #Empty, got 'Given I update "Market Access" file with:'

#error (10:3): expected: #TagLine, #ScenarioLine, #ScenarioOutlineLine, #Comment, #Empty, got '| Environment | RouteName       | RouteGroup | Limit | SpeedBump |'

#error (11:3): expected: #TagLine, #ScenarioLine, #ScenarioOutlineLine, #Comment, #Empty, got '| IDX         | MSPOOL_GEB6_IDX | Small      | 0     | 14000000  |'

I think tags are not allowed between the Feature title and the Background.

Feature tags are defined before the feature title.

This could also break the formatting code for the table, because it can't parse the feature file.

If it's not the tag, please create an issue at https://github.com/techtalk/SpecFlow/issues

Thanks!

Andi
