Inherit Information of @Cucumber.Options

[klausbayrhammer]

We have a lot of different JUnit tests which run different cucumber features. All of these tests share some common options (e.g. the glue path, tags or a common formatter). Some of these tests have to include specific formatters or tags. At the moment it is not possible to inherit the common options of a '''BaseTest''' to a ''SpecificTest''', so we have to specifiy all required options in every specific test.

We would like to do something like the following where the SpecificTest will have the glue from the BaseTest and both the CommonFormatter and the SpecificFormatter.

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@Cucumber.Options(format = "org.CommonFormatter", glue = "org.glue.path")
public class BaseTest
{
}

...

@Cucumber.Options(format = "org.SpecificFormatter")
public class SpecificTest extends BaseTest
{
}

Sounds reasonable, but only if the base class is abstract (otherwise JUnit might run the base class twice).

Are you going to send a pull request for this?

[klausbayrhammer]

Sure, I'll code it next week.

Thanks a lot @klausbayrhammer. I had to fix a broken test. Next time, please send a pull request (that causes travis to verify that the code is good).
