+Feature: Rendering engine

+        , () => {
+          test.skip('')

+        ```
+
+      Examples:

+        | Feature: |
+        | Feature: Empty |
+
+    Scenario: Render empty features with descriptions
+      Given the following feature file is rendered:

+          As a developer or project lead
+          I want to be able to write empty Feature files

+      Then the rendered feature file should contain "describe('Feature: Empty', () => {"

+        ```

+    Scenario: Render empty Rules without error
+      Given the following feature file:
+        ```gherkin
+        Feature: Empty Rules
+
+          Rule: Empty
+        ```
+      When the feature is rendered
