Thoughts on interleaved processing Background and Scenario

[Doug Puchalski]

Per the following feature:

Background:

  Given alpha

  When charlie

  Then echo

Scenario:

  Given bravo

  When delta

  Then foxtrot

Ideally execution order would be alpha, bravo, charlie, delta, echo, foxtrot.

i.e. the background gets executed entirely before the scenario. Would it make sense to instead run each section of background before each section of scenario? This would really help DRY up some of my specs.

Philosophical issues aside, given the current implementation of the Gherkin parser, this is actually pretty much impossible to implement, because the parser does not separate steps by their keyword. I guess since they don't need it in Cucumber, they didn't add it to the AST.
