Execute Cucumber step before/after a specific feature

java cucumber cucumber-jvm

I want to specify certain setup and tear down steps for each specific feature file. I've seen hooks that allows code to execute before every scenario, and hooks to execute code before each feature, but I want to specify code to run once before and after all scenarios run for one specific feature.

Is this possible?

Do you use cucumber-jvm? I found an article that fits your requirement.

Basically, do not use JUnit @BeforeClass and @AfterClass for this, as they are unaware of Cucumber Hook Tags. You would want Init and Teardown methods to run for certain scenarios only right?
