Generate .cs files from command prompt

[psn]

Hi All,

I was abe to generate Feature.cs files from command prompt using
"generateall" command.

But for this I created a project from Visual Studio IDE
added the features file from VS IDE and noticed that .feature.cs files
get created
Later I deleted the features files and .feature.cs file from the
project
Then I copied the feature files manually to the desired project folder
from command prompt
Then I used generateall from command prompt to generate the feature.cs
files.

My question is.

I create a project file from VS IDE and then close VS IDE.
Now I try to add feature files from command prompt
When I use generateall from command prompt the feature.cs file does
not get created.
Please let me know what is that I am missing

Thanks,psn

After editing the project file I was able to generate the .feature.cs
file.
Is this the only way of accomplishing the task.

If anyone has some ideas please let me know

I don't understand your problem fully, but you can have a look at the
tool code and compile a small tool for yourself that generates
individual file. The generator API is public, so you should be able to
call this easily from anywhere.

Currently the generator only generates code-behind for features that
are referenced from the project file you are pointing the generator
to.

Currently there is no way to generate code behind only for a "plain
standalone" feature file which is not included into a project.
One reason for this is, that the generation process needs some
configuration data (i.e. for language [C#,VB] and which execution
runtime [NUnit, MSTest ...] the generated code should target).
Currently this configuration is in the App.config of the containing
project.

For the workflow this is not optimal, since you cannot "just copy" a
new feature file into a directory and have it executed automatically.
Someone has to add the feature file to the project.
Although I doubt that this is such a big problem, since I argue that
adding feature files should be a "controlled process" where a
developer should be involved (at least running the features first
locally on a dev machine ...)

Hi there, 

Is there no news about that?

I have a test that generate a new "Feature File" by concataining different other Feature files.

but how can I generate the .feature.cs to be able to launch its test through command line?

My project is:

- I have a list of objects that has their own configuration scenarios in their own feature files

- I have a list of scenarios that are common to all of those object but are in their own feature file.

- I have a main test that say that for an environment  want to

   - launch the configuration scenarios

   - select some "common scenarios" to execute them usig the element configuration.

So for that I have create method that will pick the element configuration feature files then add the "common scenearios" I need to create a new Feature files with a specific tag.

Then I would like to build this file to generate the .feature.cs then be able to launch it thanks to the command line with the specific tag 

SpecRun.exe run SpecRunProfile.srprofile "/baseFolder:<baseFolderPath>" "/outputfolder:<outputFolderPath>"  /log:specrun.log /filter:<mySpeficiTag>

Is this the good way?

If yes How can i do?

If not, what is the best way to do it?

Thanks
