Gherkin: .feature can't find a .step definition when it uses a parametertype on it #458

maioni · 2022-06-13T21:05:41Z

👓 What did you see?

The .feature file (the gherkin) cant find the step definition when it's using a @parametertype value on it.

Files content

.feature

Feature: Pages
I want to use the menu page

Scenario: Click on menu
Given I click on menu

.step

@then("I click on {menu}")

@ParameterType("menuitema|menuitemb|menuitemc")
public String menu(String menu) {
if ("menuitema|menuitemb|menuitemc".contains(menu)) {
return menu;
}
return "";
}

✅ What did you expect to see?

The Gherkin should find the step definition, and the step definition should found the parameter type definition, this way we can CTRL + CLICK on feature to goes to the step definition.

📦 Which tool/library version are you using?

Eclipse + Eclipse Cucumber Plugin

🔬 How could we reproduce it?

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Install 'Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers (includes Incubating components)' Version: '2022-03 (4.23.0)' Build id: '20220310-1457'
Create a Maven Project
Install the 'Eclipse Cucumber Plugin' version '1.0.0.202106240526' at 'Eclipse Marketplace'
Convert the project to Cucumber: Open the contextual menu from your project - right click - Configure > Convert as cucumber project…
Clean project: Project > Clean…
Open the .feature file
Hold CTRL and click on the feature to goes to the step definition location

at Eclipse: Help > Install New Software

Add
Name: Cucumber Eclipse Plugin 2.0
Location: https://cucumber.github.io/cucumber-eclipse/update-site/main/

Add

Select Cucumber Eclipse Plugin, Ansi Console, third party dependencies

Next

If 1.0 was installed, it will be updated to 2,0 instead:

Select All

Trust Selected

Restart Now

PROBLEM! After install 2.0, the options to convert project to cucumber is absent, and .feature files are no more associated to cucumber:
@laeubi

I tried to install 2.0 after 1.0 to upgrade it, but the issue remains, and I couldn't associate .feature to cucumber properly:

Steps:
Install Cucumber Eclipse Plugin 1.0

Restart Eclipse

At Project, select it with right click and Configure > Convert to Cucumber Project... [OPTION ABSENT WITH 2.0, ONLY AVAILABLE WITH 1.0]

Select Project and Clean...

Now the feature and steps are correctly linked. [ONLY WORKED WITH 1.0 BUT NOT COMPATIBLE WITH CUCUMBER 6/7 NEW FEATURES LIKE PARAMETER TYPE, UNABLE TO DO IT WITH 2.0 DUE TO PREVIOUSLY ISSUES]

PROBLEM! After install 2.0, the options to convert project to cucumber is absent,

2.0 do not use/require a special project type anymore. Please make sure that 1.0 is uninstalled and there are no conflicting editor assignments that take precedence.

laeubi · 2022-06-15T09:43:39Z

Also make sure to use a recent eclipse version.

2.0 do not use/require a special project type anymore. Please make sure that 1.0 is uninstalled and there are no conflicting editor assignments that take precedence.

Using the last version, and already installed 2.0 alone, the issue remains.

laeubi · 2022-06-15T14:13:28Z

There is an example project here:

https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-eclipse/tree/main/examples/java-calculator

this requires m2eclipse to be imported and then should work at least last time i tested, if not please open an issue with the steps to reproduce the problem.

maioni · 2022-06-15T14:58:29Z

Downloaded a new and updated Eclipse with already m2 installed:

But the issue remains, after install Cucumber Eclipse Plugin, the files .feature remains not associated, and the Convert project to cucumber absent.

maioni · 2022-06-15T15:47:57Z

Same issue with the example project:

maioni · 2022-06-15T16:20:06Z

@laeubi the issue is open: #459

laeubi · 2022-06-15T17:56:50Z

Same issue with the example project:

Sorry I don't understand, your screenshot shows the green cucumber icon for the feature and it open a gherking / cucumber editor with highligts and instant run actions so what exactly are you missing?

How to install Plugin properly details at: #459

maioni · 2022-06-16T02:08:31Z

After know how to install Cucumber Eclipse Plugin 2.0, and now able to test a cucumber project that uses Parameter type, the feature remains unable to find the step definition:

Updating the example calculator code to support parametertype:
Original code: https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-eclipse/tree/main/examples/java-calculator
Updated code with parametertype implemented: java-calculator.zip

Looking at these files:

Feature
/java-calculator/src/test/resources/io/cucumber/examples/calculator/basic_arithmetic.feature
Step
/java-calculator/src/test/java/io/cucumber/examples/calculator/RpnCalculatorSteps.java

And updating the step code at line 19:

From:

    @Given("a calculator I just turned on")
    public void a_calculator_I_just_turned_on() {
        calc = new RpnCalculator();
    }

To:

import io.cucumber.java.ParameterType;

...

@Given("a calculator I just turned {power}")
	public void a_calculator_I_just_turned_on(String power) {
		switch (power) {
		case "on":
			calc = new RpnCalculator();
			break;
		}
	}

	@ParameterType("on|off")
	public String menu(String power) {
		if ("on|off".contains(power)) {
			return power;
		}
		return "";
	}

ISSUE

When we try to HOLD LEFT CTRL key and do a mouse CLICK on line 9:
It can't find the step definition:

laeubi · 2022-06-16T03:34:48Z

According to your screenshot you have not saved the RnpCalculatorStep file...

Beside that its best to enhance the example (or copy it, provide an own, ...) open a PR and a separate issue.

You want me to update the example code in github, that's it? Close this issue and open a new one?
