JBehave

We have multiple related scenarios within the same JBehave script. This seems to be supported functionality but a major issue came to light earlier: using GivenScenarios at the start of a later scenario will cause any failed scenarios thus far to be forgotten. For example:

""
Story: Test showing that using a given scenario skews the overall result

Scenario: Fail

GivenScenarios: com/example/sandpit/jbehave/noop
Given I do nothing
Then I fail

Scenario: Succeed

GivenScenarios: com/example/sandpit/jbehave/noop
Given I do nothing
Then I pass
""

The JUnit result for running a scenario with the above script is a pass, even though the "I fail" step threw an exception. If you remove the GivenScenarios line from the Succeed case then the JUnit result is a fail.

Attached is an Eclipse project that demonstrates this. This is a major issue for us: we run the JBehave tests from our build farm in an automated process. This bug would give us the green light for the whole build despite tests failing.
