# specFlow

This configuration section contains settings related to synchronizing SpecFlow projects. These settings are only required for old SpecFlow versions and for [synchronizing automated test cases](/specsync/important-concepts/synchronizing-automated-test-cases.md).

The following example shows the available options within this section.

```javascript
{
  ...
  "specFlow": {
    "specFlowGeneratorFolder": "..\\packages\\SpecFlow.2.3.0\\tools",
    "generateFeatureFileCodeBehinds": false,
    "scenarioOutlineAutomationWrappers": "iterateThroughExamples",
    "wrapperMethodPrefix": "_SpecSyncWrapper_",
    "wrapperMethodCategory": "SpecSyncWrapper"
  },
  ...
}
```

| `scenarioOutlineAutomationWrappers` | <p>Specifies how automation wrapper methods should be generated for synchronizing scenario outlines to automated test cases. Available options: <code>useTestCaseData</code> and <code>iterateThroughExamples</code>. (Default: <code>iterateThroughExamples</code>)</p><ul><li><code>useTestCaseData</code> -- the generated wrapper method loads the test data for the iterations from the test case. Running the test cases through this wrapper in Azure DevOps generates a detailed report about each iteration, but it cannot be executed locally and also does not work in from Azure DevOps pipeline build. See <a href="/pages/-LVwFCM4RFOiqwfKYqFv#use-testcase-data-for-scenario-outline-examples-for-legacy-mstest-v1-projects">related section of the Synchronizing automated test cases article</a> for details.</li><li><code>iterateThroughExamples</code> -- the generated wrapper method iterates through the examples and runs the test for each. A failure of an iteration does not block the remaining iterations. Running the test cases through this wrapper in Azure DevOps generates a single entry in the report, but the details of the entry contain all executed data set.</li></ul> | `iterateThroughExamples`                                       |
