Dependency in Cucumber

I am very new to Cucumber and I have a situation where I have to run a certain Scenario A present in Feature A before I can run Scenario B present in Feature B. I am wondering how can I do this in cucumber, I have used @After and @Before in a feature but how can I take care of cross feature dependencies like this. Thanks a lot.

Your scenarios must be independent (like any kind of tests be it acceptance tests, unit tests etc.). Never make assumptions about the order of tests/specs.

If you need to perform common operations before and after each scenario (or each scenario tagged with tag), use Before and After hooks.

If you need to do same initialization before each scenario in the feature and you want to be explicit about this initialization in the text of your Feature, you can use Background:

Feature: some feature

  Background: logged in
    Given I am logged in as administrator

  Scenario: some scenario where user will be logged in

Note: Before hooks run before Backgrounds
