+    Scenario: Writing an entry does not print the entire journal
+        Given we use the config "basic.json"
+        When we run "jrnl 23 july 2013: A cold and stormy day. I ate crisps on the sofa."
+        Then we should see the message "Entry added"
+        When we run "jrnl -n 1"
+        Then the output should not contain "Life is good"
