Description

Features with lots of similar scenarios, like time_syncing.feature. could certainly be improved with “Scenario Outlines”: https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/wiki/Scenario-Outlines.

Here’s why we could not do it in the past:

Since then, we’ve upgraded to Cucumber 2.4.0 on our CI and switched to the “Cucumber Reports” Jenkins plugin (Bug #17080#note-12). This screenshot suggests that it supports Scenario Outlines.

Another option could be to pass --expand to cucumber.

FWIW I’ve just hit the Jenkins 1.x limitation again when working on the VeraCrypt test suite: I can’t use scenario outlines so I’ll have to duplicate one scenario ~8 times and another one ~6 times.

The sysadmin team solved the blockers so in theory, we should now be able to use Scenario Outlines. Untested though!
