How to skip a scenario in Lettuce?

Question

I'm using Lettuce to do BDD testing on my Django website. I'm also using CircleCI do some continuous integration. I have a scenario that fails on CircleCI every time, so I'd like to tell CircleCI to skip it. Something like:

@skip_circle
Scenario: My Scenario blah blah
    Give I am skipping some scenarios
    .
    .
    .

Is this possible with Lettuce?

I was able to find out that this feature is already implemented, just not documented. And the decorators are actually called "Tags".

@skip_circle
Scenario: My scenario that does stuff
    Given I do stuff
    .
    .

Then run:

lettuce --tag=-skip_circle
./manage.py harvest --tag=-skip_circle #for django

If you leave out the minus sign, you'll only run tests with that tag. The minus sign tells lettuce to skip the tag.

Do take note that the following will work `lettuce -t -skip_circle` but `lettuce -t -@skip_circle` will not work – Sian Lerk Lau Nov 21 '13 at 09:13
