Can we call one scenario inside another scenario in cucumber?

Question

I started working with behavior driven tool cucumber. Its a fun tool to use. While i was working on a problem. I came across that most of time, I am not reusing my code.

That's why I want to call a scenario from another scenario. I have searched but found nothing helpful. Can I do that ?

This may be what you're looking for: https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/wiki/Calling-Steps-from-Step-Definitions

So there are a couple of things you can do. If you have a step you want to reuse like the following:

Given /^I log in as (.*)$/ do |name|
  # ...
end

You can call it within another step like so:

Given /^(.*) is logged in$/ do |name|
  step "I log in as #{name}"
end

You can also do the following within a step definition:

steps %Q{
    Given I log in as #{name}
  }
