Contents of .feature file isn't recognized in intelliJ

I wrote feature files in a project in IntelliJ according to the cucumber syntax. This files worked in another computer. I added the cucumber-java jar files and also installed the Gherkin and cucumber plugins, but still feature files aren't recognized as they should be. What could be the problem?

Essentially two things are required to get cucumber feature recognized as expected type.

  1. After adding cucumber-java dependency in pom.xml
  2. You have to add Cucumber plugin also from > Settings>Plugin>MarketPlace>Search for cucumber for Java and install it

This will also ask you to install Gherkin as a Dependency

Select Yes>> Restart ide

Now you have to change file type from settings >> to cucumber scenario.

Note: you wont be getting Cucumber scenario as recognized type until done above installation.

Select cucumber scenario and Add + wildcard for it as-*.feature

First make sure you have cucumber for java installed, if it is installed follow the below stpes,

1) Create a new feature file, like <test.feature> , after file creation a dialog box pops up

2) Select cucumber scenario in form the list and click Ok, there you GO.

After installing plugin if you till face problem as i did, my feature files are not getting recognized because of groovy

Steps I took to get .feature files recognized. I know that you've probably done this already, but it might help checking the steps again. If all fails, you could try to reinstall the plugins.

  1. Created a new Java project
  2. Created a new file with the .feature extension. Because the plugins were not installed, got the message "Plugins supporting *.feature files found." with the option to install the plugins
  3. I didn't use this option because the suggested plugins were not what I wanted (check below image):

enter image description here

  1. Instead, I've opened Settings > Plugins > Browse Repositories and searched for Cucumber for Java
  2. When trying to install this plugin you will be required to accept the installation of Gherkin as well. Make sure that after accepting, both plugins are selected.
  3. Restart IntelliJ and you should see the feature files recognized:

Hope it helps!
