After above solution, I was getting an error shown in below screen capture.

enter image description here

The reason behind this error was my project was linked to TFS and feature.cs file was not updated as it was at lock state.

When that file was check out for edit, feature.cs file was getting updated automatically.

Since SpecFlow 3, you can't anymore use the SpecFlowSingleFileGenerator.

You have to use the MSBuild integration to generate the code-behind files. But this is easy. You have simply to add the SpecFlow.Tools.MSBuild.Generation NuGet package to your project. If you still have configured a custom tool for your feature files, you have to remove this.

You can find more information here: https://docs.specflow.org/projects/specflow/en/latest/Tools/Generate-Tests-From-MsBuild.html
