OK - I found a workaround. I simply tag the first scenario with
'@first', then
do Before('@first') and i get what I want - executing a block once for
the feature file.
Except for one problem: most of my scenarios are done as scenario
outlines, which
are run multiple times - once for each row of my Example table.
A workaround to that problem might be to put a 'dummy' scenario that
is run before the other scenarios in my feature file...
@first
Scenario: Call a before block before running other scenarios...
But this puts junk in my feature files. Is there a better, cleaner
way??
