Cucumber .feature files can be exported from Xray and executed externally. They can be generated from the following Xray issues:

Or, from an Issue mapped as a Requirement issue type.

If the language defined to export the Cucumber .feature files is not the default (i.e., en), then a language tag will be added.

Rules

Xray generates Cucumber .feature files according to the context issue and the following rules:

A single Cucumber feature file is generated for each requirement associated with this Test.
The feature contains the feature header description of the associated requirement, if there is no requirement associated then the feature header will contain the summary of the test.
The feature contains the background of the Test, if present in the Precondition associated with it.
The feature contains the Scenario/Scenario Outline defined in this Test.

A single Cucumber feature file is generated for each different tuple (Requirement, Precondition).
A Test Execution does not contain repeated tests.
If a Test is not associated with a requirement, then it will be exported as an independent feature file.
If a Test is associated with more than one requirement, then a feature file will be generated for each requirement. The generated .feature files will contain repeated test scenarios.
The feature contains the feature header description of the associated requirement if present. If no requirement is associated then the feature header will contain the summary of the Test Set if the test was exported from a single test set or the summary of the Test.
The feature contains the common background of the Tests, if present in the Precondition.
The feature contains the Scenario/Scenario Outline for all the tests.

[ #language: { language } ]

The max filename will always be 50 characters without the file extension and will follow the rules below:

If the summary option, in the cucumber options, is disabled:

<sequential_id_one_based>[_<issue_requirement_key>][_<issue_precondition_key>]

and no requirement is present on the feature and there is a small amount of tests:

<sequential_id_one_based>[_<issue_test_key_1>,<issue_test_key_2>,...]

and no requirement is present on the feature and there is a large enough amount of tests to exceed the filename limit:

<sequential_id_one_based>[_<issue_test_key_1>,<issue_test_key_2>,...][(+[number_of_remaining_tests])]

If the summary option, in the cucumber options, is enabled:

<sequential_id_one_based>[_<issue_requirement_summary>]

<sequential_id_one_based>[_<issue_test_summary_1>][(+[number_of_remaining_tests])]

Note: Summaries will be truncated to prevent filename from exceeding the 50 character limit.

Exporting a Test Execution with the following Tests:

generates the following 9 feature files:

File	Requirements	Precondition	Tests	Filename
1	R1	C1	T1, T10	1_R1_C1.feature
2	R1	-	T2	2_R1.feature
3	R2	C1	T4, T7	3_R2_C1.feature
4	R2	C3	T5	4_R2_C3.feature
5	R2	-	T8	5_R2.feature
6	R3	-	T8	6_R3.feature
7	R3	C1	T7	7_R3_C1.feature
8	-	C2	T3, T9	8_T3,T9_C2.feature
9	-	-	T6	9_T6.feature
