Cucumber - Java - Non-ASCII characters in an identifier

Question

Hi community: I'm working with Cucumber in another language different than English.

When I generate the Step Definitions it displays a message over the void method

Non-ASCII characters in an identifier 

This is the Step Definition sample.

@Y("^se despliega un menú lateral con diferentes opciones$")
   public void seDespliegaUnMenúLateralConDiferentesOpciones() {}

What should I do in this situation?

Answer 1

This is an inspection generated by IDEA (presumably). It intends to guard against possible complications related to character encoding. However as you are using Cucumber in a language other then English you will be dealing with these anyway. This makes the warning superfluous.

You can turn the warning off by selecting the method name, pressing Alt-Enter and from the menu search for the "Edit Inspection Profile Option".

Answer 2

This is indeed an Intellij IDEA "code inspection" setting.

I found the setting here:

File (Menu) 
  > Settings
     > In left pane of the popup window, open "Editor"
        > Choose "Inspections" 
           > Type "ASCII" into the "search" text field
              > Select "Non-ASCII characters" under "Internationalization"

The popup window then looks as below, and you can unmark the option on the bottom right.
