Comments
As well as the description fields that follow Feature and Scenario keywords, Cucumber allows you to precede these keywords with comments.
Like in Ruby, comments start with a # character. Unlike in Ruby, comments have to be the first and only thing on a line (well, apart from whitespace).
Here’s an example:
gherkin_basics/comments_example.feature | |
| # This feature covers the account transaction and hardware-driver modules |
| Feature: Withdraw Cash |
| In order to buy beer |
| As an account holder |
| I want to withdraw cash from the ATM |
| |
| # Can't figure out how to integrate with magic wand interface |
| Scenario: Withdraw too much from an account in credit |
| Given I have $50 in my account |
| # When I wave my magic wand |
