Language is not recognized from app.config

[jaspervhaastert]

The plugin does not recognize the feature file language when set in an app.config file.
Rider underlines the whole file in red with the error message The file does not contain a feature.
Running the test is not an issue, then the language is correctly recognized from the app.config file.

Sample app.config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <configSections>
        <section name="specFlow" type="TechTalk.SpecFlow.Configuration.ConfigurationSectionHandler, TechTalk.SpecFlow" />
    </configSections>
    <specFlow>
        <language feature="nl-NL" />
    </specFlow>
</configuration>

Sample feature file:

Functionaliteit: Calculator

Scenario: Add two numbers
    Gegeven the first number is 50
    En the second number is 70
    Als the two numbers are added
    Dan the result should be 120

Hello,

The plugin support the version 3 of specflow. But I think it can work if you add a specflow.json file, see
https://docs.specflow.org/projects/specflow/en/latest/Installation/Configuration.html

Does this fix your problem ?

Unfortunately that's not really an option.
Most developers at work use Visual Studio.
I work on a lot of repositories of other teams, who won't appreciate me adding such an extra file when it's not necessary for them.

According to the link you posted, app.config files are still supported in version 3 of specflow when using .NET framework.
Is there any way support for these files can be added to this plugin?

I don't know when I'll have time to support this, I see 2 solutions if you want to get it to work now:

• Since you could replace the app.config with the specflow.json there would be no extra file.
• If you cannot add this file, I think as a workaround for now you can add it on your side and put it in .gitignore.

I think it could be a simple change at those 2 location
