[rspec-users] Cucumber: pending specs

[Matt Wynne]

We found that we can raise a Cucumber::Pending error in the step  
matcher to achieve the same effect, though in practice we're tending  
to just write PENDING in the feature and break the link to the step  
matcher.

Actually something that would really help us is the ability to  
comment out scenarios, as you quite often have code you want to check  
in but you don't want to break the build due to a half-finished  
feature. I'm finding I spend a lot longer between check-ins since I  
started using cucumber in earnest, and that can't be a good thing.

Maybe just altering that behaviour where the scenario carries on  
running when a Given step fails would help. Aslak you never explained  
why you designed it like that - how does it help with your workflow?
