Well, this isn't really working (or I might forgot something to define, but from http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/hooks - it seems that 'Before' is operating with tags (and hooks) - see This is in fact be useful, because we are able execute code before each line of the properly tagged Scenario Outline... but... I still don't know the method/variable to access the _current line_ of the example table. So translated into the code, an example: x.feature: ... @tagged Scenario Outline: file reader Given I read <file> Then I want to have <content> Examples: | file | content | | x.txt | Text | | y.txt | Other text | *************************** step_definitions/x.rb Before('@tagged') do # how to access current row??? if row[0] == $external_filename # how to properly skip current line??? row.skip_invoke! end end Given /I read (.+)/ do |fileName| #open and read fileName #fill @file_content end Then /I want to have (.+)/ do |content| #assert 'content' against @file_content end ********************************** So we need something for 'row[0]' and a proper way to skip the current line... I now that this example is not a good real life situation (it would be easier to use multiline step arguments), but we would like to use Cucumber driven by an external source (executing only one line from each example table) AND maintaining the ability to run it independently (all lines) I hope this cleared up the things a bit more...
