IntelliJ with cucumber (java) and location

Question

Ok, so I am working on a project using IntelliJ and trying to take advantage of its cucumber functionality. I did not work with the java flavor of cucumber, but IntelliJ seems to want step definition files in a specific place compared to function files.

I found this: how to locate the step definitions for a cucumber in intelliJ 12 and other sources that indicated to me that I was able to add the “glue” property of mine which tell cuke that package to find the step file. Therefore, I am at a point where I can run my tests through IDEA. BUT I need to set this every time I run a new test, since Ctrl + Alt + F10 or right-clicking + the start test does not start the test using this flag. In addition, ide support is screwed, since IDEA does not know where the stages are, it is not auto-negotiated, or Ctrl + Click proceeds to the steps.

Is there a way that the IDEA project always looks for steps in this package both when starting tests and for its automatic completion?

Answer 1

Creating a self-answer for others who may have this problem. There were no steps in my project that were marked as the source root of the test, and although I did this, I only closed and re-opened my project so that they were matched. So the simple answer was my answer.

Answer 2

Go File-> Settings → plugins. Then you can control the cucumber plugin as shown below. This should redirect you to determine the step when clicking on your test.

Hope this helps

Answer 3

You can set the glue location globally by opening “Edit Configurations → Default → Java Cucumber → Glue” and add the package names.

(IntelliJ 12.1.4)

Answer 4

IntelliJ supports the plugin for Cucumber-Java / Groovy . Installing this plugin will allow you to move from the steps mentioned in the function file to step definitions.

And after creating Step Definition, navigation is easy.
