rspec users - May 2009 - Skipping the testscenario based on Given block execution.

Hi,
Generally in cucumber, we write the preconditions in GIVEN block,
Is there any way in cucumber using which test scenario execution is
skipped, based on the Given block execution.
Because there is no point in executing the test scenario when
precondition itself fails.

Please help me in this regard

Anil,
 Your precondition shouldn''t fail?

Hi,
I think i am not clear.
My query is while running the testcases,
Some times precondition of testcase fails, when precondition itself 
fails there is no point in executing the testcase further.
so , is there any way in cucumber to skip execution of scenario when 
precondition of testcase fails.

Thanks,
Anil

In a Scenario if any step fails the following steps of that scenario  
are skipped.

This is the current behaviour of Cucumber.  Older versions of Cucumber 
had some trouble with properly skipping these steps.

The intention is that when a Before block raises an error, the steps
of the scenario are skipped. However, this isn''t working properly, but
a fix is in progress:
