Is it possible to go from function file to step definition in VSCode

Question

I mainly use RubyMine for Cucumber / Ruby, and now I get access to VSCode with which I can run and debug test cases.

I cannot find a way to go from defining a function to a step. I tried looking for extensions, but cucumber-step-mapper does not help.

Is there any kind of config that allows you to move from the definition to the definition of the step?

You can install the Advanced Cucumber Language Support from the VSCode website:

After installation is complete, reload VSCode. Now, to make it work for Ruby, you need to:

Press Ctrl + , to open User Preferences.
Scroll down to the automatic cucumber.
On the right side you need to change these parameters (you can find 2 examples of how to do this on the extension page). In my case, I added the following:
```
 "cucumberautocomplete.steps": [ "features/step_definitions/*.rb" ], "cucumberautocomplete.syncfeatures": "features/*feature" 
```
Update VSCode
Open the .feature file and right-click any step you need to have Go to Definition and Peek Definition .

Hope you get it!
