Sometimes, for practical reasons, you may want to turn a few of the slower/unchanging tests off with the `@no-precommit`
tag. Just remember that you turned them off if you're starting to see problems in your app!
When running a standard Cucumber run (using the `default` profile) or a `precommit` run, if you are using the cuke-pack
`in_progress` hook and there are test failures, you'll get an `in_progress.txt` file in your project root. This
file works very much like Cucumber `rerun.txt` style of testing, except instead of running all features at once (`@rerun.txt`'s
normal behavior), it runs them one at a time until each one passes, eliminating the passing one from the list as you go.
Internally, this uses `@rerun.txt` within a now-smart Cucumber profile, but it only passes in one feature at a time. There's
no need to use `@wip` tags for this either. It will run and eliminate passing scenarios until everything in the `in_progress.txt`
list is fixed. This takes over `@wip` tag processing, and will let you use `@wip` tags again once the list is empty or you
delete `in_progress.txt`.
For now, to make this work with Guard, use [my fork's `paths_from_profile` branch](https://github.com/johnbintz/guard-cucumber/tree/paths_from_profile) of `guard-cucumber`. Once this gets some more human
testing, I'll submit it as a pull request against `guard-cucumber`.
