Cucumber tags for scenario outline examples

Question

In the project I am currently working we are using cucumber for integration testing and to keep the regular daily builds from getting too big we use profiles using tags to have a smaller daily test and a larger weekly build test suite.

Now I have a scenario outline with example inputs that I want to split up so that one example is in the daily build and others in the weekly.

Something in the spirit of

Scenario Outline: Doing some tests
  Given a step
  When I do some <input>
  Then I should get some <output>

Examples:
  |input     |output    |
  @daily
  |daily 1   |daily 2 o |
  @weekly
  |week 1    |week 1 o  |
  |week 2    |week 3 o  |
      .           .
      .           .     
      .           .
  |week 999  |week 999 o|

Is this possible in any way? Should it be? Or is it a dumb idea to do it this way?

Answer 1

After some research I found out that this is already supported from out of the box. You just have to add two Example headers to the test. Using my own example from the question to illustrate

Scenario Outline: Doing some tests
  Given a step

  Then I should get some <output>

@daily
Examples:
  |input     |output    |
  |daily 1   |daily 2 o |

@weekly
Examples:
  |input     |output    |
  |week 1    |week 1 o  |
  |week 2    |week 3 o  |
      .           .
      .           .     
      .           .
  |week 999  |week 999 o|
