How to ignore particular example in cucumber

Question

As a test automation engineer. I'd like to exclude some examples in runtime. For example:

Scenario: Some simple scenario
 Given I logged in as <local> user
 When  I visit home page
 Then  I should see <local> logo

Examples: User
 |local|
 |UK   |
#ignore 'Spain'
 |Spain|

Answer 1

A possible approach I'd suggest is to use tags:

Scenario Outline: Some simple scenario
  Given I logged in as <local> user
  When  I visit home page
  Then  I should see <local> logo

  Examples:
    | local |
    | UK    |

  @wip
  Examples:
    | local |
    | Spain |

This will, by default, skip the "work in progress" tests. There are also other approaches you could take, to run the tests as "expected failures".
