Pretty Fail Formatter

A cucumber formatter which is concise on success and pretty on failures. It behaves like the standard progress formatter, printing only nice green dots. Except when a cuke failes, then it prints the failing cuke verbosely, so that you instantly see what's wrong.

bundle exec cucumber --format pretty-fail
