Cleanup steps for Cucumber scenarios

Question

Is there a way to define the cleanup steps for all of the scenarios for a feature in Cucumber? I know that Background is used to define the setup steps for each

Answer 1

You can use an After hook that will run after each scenario:

After do
  ## teardown code
end

There's also a Before hook that will allow you to set up state and/or test data prior to the scenario:

Before do
  ## setup code
end

The Before and After hooks provide the functionality of setup and teardown from Test::Unit, and they are generally located in hooks.rb in the features/support directory.
