There 3 options I can think of:
1. Background Feature
This allows you to specify specific set of steps which are only run
for the scenarios in the relevant feature (http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/background
). I would recommend this approach if you are using the latest
cucumber version from github.
Makes sense if it applies to every scenario within a feature.
2, In the scenario
Are you hiding state setup which would be better placed in the plain
text scenario? You don't have to get too granular with the data
setup, a high level "Given the system is setup...." style could be
used to avoid noise that detracts from the scenario value.
What I do 99% of the time.
3. Before
If you do this in a Before you can gain access to the scenario name (http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/16211-cucumber/tickets/44
). You could switch this to run the relevant fixture if you wish.
(This is a bit smelly)
You could clean it up: http://gist.github.com/78518 but it's still
horrible :P
