Feature Request: Support folder structure with multiple directory scopes, each with its own step directory

[estevensthedyrt]

I would like to be able to store my projects in sub-folders. This would allow me to have multiple projects in a single features folder when working on enterprise level applications that have multiple interfaces and complex structure that makes working in single folders an absolute mess.

DESIRED DIRECTORY STRUCTURE:

features/
   +- Alice/
   |  +--AliceWeb/
   |  |   +--AliceWeb.feature
   |  +-- steps/
   |     +--- alice_web_steps.py
   +- Bob/
      +-- BobWeb/
      |   +--BobWeb.feature
      + --steps/
          +--bob_web_steps.py

The desired directory structure is currently only partly supported:

• SUPPORTED: Feature files in a deep directory structure (like above)
• NOT SUPPORTED: Multiple steps directories (and environment files)

POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS (until multiple step directories are supported):

• Use a build script that performs two behave test runs, one on each directory scope
  (or: filters the feature-file path args and groups them by directory scope and uses these two parameter groups to trigger the behave test runs on each directory scope)
• Provide your own behave test runner that supports discovery and step loading from multiple step directories and use the correct steps in the associated feature file directories
• Use the stage concept if the feature files are the same and only the steps implementations varies
