Is there a cucumber hook to run before and after each feature

Question

Is there a way to run specific code block before and after each cucumber feature with certain tag?

Since setup process is very expensive I don't want to run it before each scenario.

Answer 1

The hooks for cucumber are described in this wiki page which show the before and after hooks you can have.

Taken from that page is this example:

The following example will cause scenarios tagged with @fast to fail if the execution takes longer than 0.5 seconds:

Around('@fast') do |scenario, block|
  Timeout.timeout(0.5) do
    block.call
  end
end
