NAME
       Test::BDD::Cucumber::Executor - Run through Feature and Harness objects

VERSION
       version 0.11

DESCRIPTION
       The Executor runs through Features, matching up the Step Lines with Step Definitions, and reporting on progress through the passed-in
       harness.

METHODS
   steps
   add_steps
       The attributes "steps" is a hashref of arrayrefs, storing steps by their Verb.  "add_steps()" takes step definitions of the item list form:

	(
	 [ Given => qr//, sub {} ],
	),

       and populates "steps" with them.

   execute
       Execute accepts a feature object, a harness object, and an optional Test::BDD::Cucumber::TagSpec object and for each scenario in the
       feature which meets the tag requirements (or all of them, if you haven't specified one), runs "execute_scenario".

   execute_scenario
       Accepts a hashref of options, and executes each step in a scenario. Options:

       "feature" - A Test::BDD::Cucumber::Model::Feature object

       "feature_stash" - A hashref that should live the lifetime of feature execution

       "harness" - A Test::BDD::Cucumber::Harness subclass object

       "scenario" - A Test::BDD::Cucumber::Model::Scenario object

       "background_obj" - An optional Test::BDD::Cucumber::Model::Scenario object representing the Background

       "scenario_stash" - We'll create a new scenario stash unless you've posted one in. This is used exclusively for giving Background sections
       access to the same stash as the scenario they're running before.

       For each step, a Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepContext object is created, and passed to "dispatch()". Nothing is returned - everything is played
       back through the Harness interface.

   add_placeholders
       Accepts a text string and a hashref, and replaces " <placeholders" > with the values in the hashref, returning a string.

   dispatch
       Accepts a Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepContext object, and searches through the steps that have been added to the executor object, executing
       against the first matching one.

       You can also pass in a boolean 'short-circuit' flag if the Scenario's remaining steps should be skipped.

   skip_step
       Accepts a step-context, a result-type, and a textual reason, exercises the Harness's step start and step_done methods, and returns a
       skipped-test result.
