Currently I'm half way there. On the storyPaths() method instead of using the out of the box find paths: return new StoryFinder().findPaths(codeLocationFromClass(this.getClass()).getFile(), asList("**/" + System.getProperty("storyFilter", "*") + ".story"), null);
I have a separate file that lists all the story files: Story1.story #Story2.story Story3.story Then I have a small parser that parses this file skipping any lines commented out (my choice was #) and returns me the List I can feed into findPaths method. My return statement now looks like return new StoryFinder().findPaths(codeLocationFromClass(this.getClass()).getFile(), myStoryList, null); where myStoryList was the list I populated with my parser So now I don't run Story2.story (in this case) by itself. However, all the cases inside Story2.story still run when I run Story3.story (which is using GivenStories: Story2.story) My question now is: How can I set meta properties at the scenario level? Do you have sample code How can I pass this to the GivenStories? Do you have sample code?

Hi, no, this behaviour is not currently available. GivenStories are recursively run. What you could do is set meta properties at a scenario level which are passed to the given stories and then in your implementation take notice of these properties to run or not the relevant steps. Otherwise, structure your given dependency tree in such a way as to avoid duplication. Feel free to suggest a way to configure this behaviour you're after.

So I test Story1 and then I test Story2 but it depends on Story1 to have been completed. So I'm using GivenStories: - Story1.story - Story2.story (uses GivenStories: Story1.story) - Story3.story (uses GivenStories: Story2.story) I'm wondering if there is a way to add a meta tag on Story1 and Story2 that tells the framework not to run them because they will be run as part of Story3.story Thanks for your help, Enrique
