ignoring features in cucumber-jvm

Question

I know you can specify tags for features and then ignore them when running cucumber on the command line. But I'm using cucumber-jvm and running it from maven. @ignore doesn't work and I wouldn't know how to pass the to-be-ignored tags to the runner that executes the Gherkin tests.

The work-around is to move feature that are done to another directory while developing and testing new ones, but that's not how it should be. How do other users deal with this deficiency?

Answer 1

You can tell runner skip @ignore

import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import cucumber.api.junit.Cucumber;

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@Cucumber.Options(features = {"classpath:my_feature.feature"},
tags = {"~@ignore"})
public class RunCukesTest {
}
