Re: Gherkin keyword and defenition [personal]
cucumber filename.feature --dry-run
The --dry-run switch tells Cucumber to parse the file without executing it. It
will tell you if your Gherkin isn’t valid.
Re: Gherkin keyword and defenition [personal]
Feature
Each Gherkin file begins with the Feature keyword. This keyword doesn’t really affect the behavior of your Cucumber tests at all; it just gives you a convenient place to put some summary documentation about the group of tests that follow.
example:
Feature: [name]
[description]
Feature must be followed by one of the following:
• Scenario
• Background
• Scenario Outline

Re: Gherkin keyword and defenition [personal]
Scenarios
all follow the same pattern:
1. Get the system into a particular state.
2. Poke it (or tickle it, or ...).
3. Examine the new state.
example:
Scenario: Successful withdrawal from an account in credit
Given I have $100 in my account # the context
When I request $20 # the event(s)
Then $20 should be dispensed # the outcome(s)

Background
A background section in a feature file allows you to specify a set of steps that are common to every scenario in the file.
