Actually as in "I can't use Cucumber-JVM"?

There is no way for a step definition to know anything about the
feature/scenario that invoked it I'm afraid. I suggest you either move
all the .txt files to the same dir, or pass the (relative) path from
your step to your stepdef using an argument:

Given /I have a file named (.*)/

What about in a Before Scenario Hook? Could this directory be detected at that point?

Thanks, Rob

Theoretically - yes. At least in Cucumber-JVM: (Cuke4Duke is not maintained)

@Before
public void before(ScenarioResult s) {
// We could add a method to ScenarioResult that lets you access
the scenario's location. Something like this.
Location l = s.getLocation();
URI u = l.getUri();
int line = l.getLine();
}

I think it would make sense to rename ScenarioResult to just Scenario
in that case.

Please create a ticket at github - or better yet: A pull request!
