Skip a scenario entirely based on @BeforeScenario about behat

[jnicola]

...also I know I can just have different environments / jenkins jobs exclude certain tags etc etc. I'm really not looking to solve this with tag exclusion, if possible.

Just add this to a context...

    /**
     * @BeforeScenario
     */
    public function beforeScenario(BeforeScenarioScope $scope)
    {
        $tags = array_merge($scope->getScenario()->getTags(), $scope->getFeature()->getTags());
        if (in_array('requiresInitialImport', $tags, true) && !$this->databaseIsImported()) {
            throw new PendingException('required initial import'); 
        }
    }

    public function beforeScenario(BeforeScenarioScope $scope)
    {
        $tags = array_merge($scope->getScenario()->getTags(), $scope->getFeature()->getTags());
        if (in_array('requiresInitialImport', $tags, true) && !$this->databaseIsImported()) {
            throw new PendingException('required initial import'); 
        }
    }

Thanks. This worked for me when developing locally, however not for CI: Reason is that exit code is set to 1 (failed), whenever an exception is thrown during setup hooks.

Anyone has an idea on how to tweak exit code?
