cucumber java plugin not working properly in Intelij

Question

I have been using my cucumber project on the Intelij for a very long time and it was working perfect. However, I upgraded the machine and so installed the latest version of Intelij.

I installed the cucumber-java plugin (and gherkins), however it doesn't work properly.

• I can't see option to run from feature file
• I can't go to step from feature file
• it doesn't understand Give/When/Then

Intelij Version: 2017.3.4 Cucumber-Java Version: 173.4301 Platform; Mac OS

Would someone please let me know what else I need to do to enable full support of cucumber java plugin?

Answer 1

I had faced a similar issue but on install "cucumber for Java" and "Gauge" plugin resolved this issue.

Answer 2

Check if you have the Substeps plugin in IntelliJ. If yes, uninstall it since Cucumber for java plugin does not work along with Substeps plugin

Answer 3

This was fixed in IntelliJ IDEA 2019.2.1. Build #IC-192.6262.58.

Answer 4

I ran into same problem this might help you fix: Please check if you have ruby plugin also installed, which is needed for step definitions

Answer 5

Check whether you have Right Plugin, i had this issue , struggled for 2 days..

1) Have - Cucumber for Java

2) Remove (if you have it)- Cucumber (ion)for Java - Both have identical symbol.

Cross Check...

1) once you create .feature it will have right logo..

All the Best
