Hi Mauro,
Ok, that makes sense, now it is clearer. I even made the test of putting Meta: @tags at the end of the scenario title and it worked for the same reason: the Gherkin parser ignored it and jBehave interpreted it and skipped the scenario. Anyway, I think I will wait for next version in order to properly use filters based on Meta tags. Many thanks!

As such, some element may coincidentally work simply because they are ignored by the Gherkin parser. This is the case for the first tag, which in fact is interpreted as part of the free-text description by Gherkin and as meta by JBehave. As part of the new enhancement, the Gherkin tags are properly handled and converted to JBehave meta. Cheers On 11/09/2013 12:19, Pablo Guijarro Enríquez wrote: Hi Mauro, Thanks for your feedback. However, I have tried to filter either the whole feature or just one scenario by putting just the tag before the elements and that did not work, the whole set of scenarios was executed (the filter was configured in the embedder as explained in my previous mail). I understood from your mail that it would work this way. @skip Feature: Some feature Some description @skip Scenario Outline: Scenario 1 Given some prerequisites When something happens Then some result is obtained Examples: Table with data used in steps Scenario Outline: Scenario 2 ... Currently the only way I am able to apply a filter is as shown in the first sample feature of my previous mail (which is weird, provided that Meta: is not supported according to your explanation).

You simply put the tag before the element, e.g. @skip Feature: Some feature That said, the tag support is a new feature in 3.9 and will soon be released: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JBEHAVE-940 If you want you can tried out the latest 3.9-SNAPSHOT.

For example, I am able to skip the execution of a whole gherkin Feature (story) by adding the filter to the corresponding embedder (embedder.useMetaFilters(Arrays.asList("-skip"));) and adding the Meta info right after the description: Feature: Some feature Some description Meta: @skip Scenario Outline: Scenario 1 Given some prerequisites When something happens Then some result is obtained Examples: Table with data used in steps Scenario Outline: Scenario 2 ... But I am not able to filter just the execution of Scenario 1. If I set the Meta information right after the Scenario Outline title, as explained in the Meta-Info documentation, the scenario is executed anyway: Feature: Some feature Some description Scenario Outline: Scenario 1 Meta: @skip Given some prerequisites When something happens Then some result is obtained Examples: Table with data used in steps Scenario Outline: Scenario 2 ... Is there anything I am missing? Many thanks, Pablo
