I have a Java & Springboot application for running Selenium tests. I declare the webDriver as mentioned below with a ScenarioScope annotation.

@Bean(destroyMethod= "quit") 
@ScenarioScope
public RemoteWebDriver chromeWebDriver() {
 ...
}

My feature files have a series of scenarios that I would want always to run sequentially. Currently I use ‘Background’ in my feature files that logs in users to a CRM site. As that step runs every single time, the tests take a long time. I want to somehow run the login step only once for all the features, or maybe once per feature file. Is this possible?

I tried changing @ScenarioScope to @Scope(“singleton”) but that runs all the scenarios within each feature files in parallel, that I don’t want to do. No error message

Any tips would be useful

Thanks
