Unable to install cucumber eclipse plug-in

Question

I am trying to install Cucumber Eclipse Plugin from Eclipse marketplace. It is giving an error message at the end stating the following : 'Installing Software' has encountered a problem . Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found .

Answer 1

Update your eclipse to the latest version first and try to install eclipse. This solved my issue.

Answer 2

I encountered a similar problem with Eclipse. You should try installing the Eclipse PDE Plug-in Developer Resources before attempting to install Cucumber Eclipse. You can get it from the Eclipse p2 repository for your IDE version (for instance http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.12/). Hope this helps!

Answer 4

There are multiple plugins for gherkin/cucumber available. You didn't provided which plugin you are trying to install and which is your eclipse version. There can be one of 3 possible reasons:

1. Not all the plugins supports eclipse latest versions.
2. You didn't selected Contact all update sites option
3. You are inside VPN and not able to access specific url.

For #1 you can check supported eclipse versions for the plugin at marketplace plugins details page under additional details. Try installing one which is supported on your eclipse version. For example, on qaf-bdd-editors plugin details you will find it supports all versions including latest as of today (Neon (4.6), Mars (4.5), Luna (4.4), Kepler (4.3), Oxygen (4.7), Photon (4.8), 2018-09 (4.9), 2018-12 (4.10), 2019-03 (4.11)).

For #2 you should try selecting Contact all update sites option

For #3 you need to download/get plugin zip and install from local
