You can try the latest 3.9-beta-2, which should be synched to Central during the day.

Hi Mauro,

Ok, that makes sense, now it is clearer. I even made the test of putting "Meta: @tags" at the end of the scenario title and it worked for the same reason: the Gherkin parser ignored it and jBehave interpreted it and skipped the scenario.

Anyway, I think I will wait for next version in order to properly use filters based on Meta tags.

Many thanks!

Pablo

Hi Pablo,

the Gherkin story parser uses the Gherkin parser to trasform the input text into the JBehave syntax. As such, some element may coincidentally work simply because they are ignored by the Gherkin parser. This is the case for the first tag, which in fact is interpreted as part of the free-text description by Gherkin and as meta by JBehave.

As part of the new enhancement, the Gherkin tags are properly handled and converted to JBehave meta.

Cheers

    Hi Mauro,

    Thanks for your feedback. However, I have tried to filter either
    the whole feature or just one scenario by putting just the tag
    before the elements and that did not work, the whole set of
    scenarios was executed (the filter was configured in the embedder
    as explained in my previous mail). I understood from your mail
    that it would work this way.

    @skip

    Feature: Some feature

        Some description

        @skip

    Scenario Outline: Scenario 1

    Given some prerequisites

    When something happens

    Then some result is obtained

        Examples:

    Table with data used in steps

        Scenario Outline: Scenario 2

    ...

    Currently the only way I am able to apply a filter is as shown in
    the first sample feature of my previous mail (which is weird,
    provided that Meta: is not supported according to your explanation).

    Regards,

    Pablo

    Hi,

    Meta: is not a recognised keyword by Gherkin parser.

    You simply put the tag before the element, e.g.

    @skip
    Feature:  Some feature

    That said, the tag support is a new feature in 3.9 and will soon
    be released:

    https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JBEHAVE-940

    If you want you can tried out the latest 3.9-SNAPSHOT.

    Cheers

        Hello,

        I am using the jBehave maven plugin (v3.8) with the jBehave
        gherkin module (v3.8) and after some investigation I have been
        able to filter features (stories) using meta filters, but I
        have not been able to filter just specific scenarios, so I
        wonder whether that is supported or not using the Gherkin
        story parser.

        For example, I am able to skip the execution of a whole
        gherkin Feature (story) by adding the filter to the
        corresponding embedder
        (embedder.useMetaFilters(Arrays.asList("-skip"));) and adding
        the Meta info right after the description:

        Feature: Some feature

            Some description

            Meta: @skip

            Scenario Outline: Scenario 1

                Given some prerequisites

                When something happens

                Then some result is obtained

            Examples:

                Table with data used in steps

            Scenario Outline: Scenario 2

                ...

        But I am not able to filter just the execution of Scenario 1.
        If I set the Meta information right after the Scenario Outline
        title, as explained in the Meta-Info documentation, the
        scenario is executed anyway:

        Feature: Some feature

            Some description

            Scenario Outline: Scenario 1

                Meta: @skip

                Given some prerequisites

                When something happens

                Then some result is obtained

            Examples:

                Table with data used in steps

            Scenario Outline: Scenario 2

                ...

        Is there anything I am missing?

        Many thanks,

        Pablo
