Scenario outlines not pulling variable from examples

In a test scenario I have written, I am trying to pull a variable from the examples table and have it in the test name, however it seems to not parse the variable from the feature file. In my case, I have a field called name that I am trying to use. I have tried it both as <name> and "<name>".

Is this expected behaviour or a bug?

@lgandecki - I also face this same issue as reported by breeny, is there any solution for it.

The issue is with displaying the values used within examples on Scenario outline. Scenario Outline: Successful sign in on <devicename>

Examples: | devicename| | macbook-15 | | ipad-2 | | iphone-6+ |

Output:

I took a look at the feature file you pointed in your above post and I am using the same syntax as mentioned there but its not working.

Maybe then I just don’t get the erroneous output you provided. Sorry for that. Which outputs are you expecting? As the tests pass I assume that the variables get substituted correctly in the test steps. The OP wanted to see an example variable substituted in each scenario outline run (as a part of the scenario outline). In your feature file I don’t see a variable substitution in the scenario outline definition. Does this work as expected? Scenario Outline: Navigating between main pages to <page>
