How to run only one feature file when running protractor with cucumber?

Question

I have multiple feature files and I would really love to run just one file or just one scenario or just one tag. I know I could just provide one file in my specs in my cucumberConf.js, but I would like to run it once without fiddling with my cucumberConf.js. Which arguments do I need to type in when running protractor?

Answer 1

in protractor's config:

cucumberOpts: {
...
        tags: [
        "@runThis",
        "@runThat",
        "~@ignoreThis"
    ];
...
},

in the feature file

    @runThis
    Scenario: Run this Scenario
        Given user does some action
        Then something should happen

    @ignoreThis
    Scenario: ignore this Scenario
        Given user does some action
        Then something should happen

Answer 2

The easiest way to do this would be to use the --specs option.

protractor --specs=specs/testA.js e2e-conf.js
