Description

Hey Guys,

In documentation https://pytest-bdd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/#scenario-decorator it says

Functions decorated with the scenario decorator behave like a normal test function, and they will be executed after all scenario steps.

What happens if steps fail assertion or have runtime issue?
