# CukeSlicer

The cuke_slicer gem provides an easy and programmatic way to divide a Cucumber test suite into granular test

cases that can then be dealt with on an individual basis. Often this means handing them off to a distributed

testing system in order to parallelize test execution.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

    gem 'cuke_slicer'

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install cuke_slicer

## Usage

    require 'cuke_slicer'

    # Choose which part of your test suite that you want to slice up

    test_directory = 'path/to/your_test_directory'

    # Choose your slicing filters

    filters = {excluded_tags: ['@tag1','@tag2'],

               included_tags: '@tag3',

               excluded_paths: 'foo',

               included_paths: [/test_directory/]}

    # Use the slicer to find all tests matching those filters

    found_tests = CukeSlicer::Slicer.new.slice(test_directory, filters, :file_line)

    # Arrange the sliced pieces to suit your particular needs. In this case, we will dump them

    # into a file that Cucumber can consume.

    File.open('tests_to_run.txt', 'w') { |file| file.puts found_tests }

    system('cucumber @tests_to_run.txt')

In addition to tag and path filters, a block can be used for filtering tests by inspecting the 

underlying CukeModeler models that represent test cases and filtering on whatever criteria you can think up.

    CukeSlicer::Slicer.new.slice(test_directory, {}, :file_line) do |test_case|

      test_case.is_a?(CukeModeler::Scenario) &&

      test_case.get_ancestor(:feature).name =~ /first/

    end
