Intellij IDEA > Cucumber Test Results don't display Scenario name

Question

Problem:

When running my Cucumber Acceptance tests from Intellij, the Test Results don't display the scenario name, just <no name> - making it difficult/impossible to determine which Scenario actually failed!

e.g.

I'm using JDK8 with Intellij IDEA 15 Community Edition (Build #IC-143.2287) with the following Intellij IDEA plugins:

• Cucumber for Java (v 143.382) - github.com / plugins.jetbrains.com
• Cucumber for Groovy (v 143.382) - github.com / plugins.jetbrains.com

The following Cucumber libraries (gradle):

testCompile "info.cukes:cucumber-junit:1.2.4"
testCompile "info.cukes:cucumber-java8:1.2.4"
testCompile "info.cukes:cucumber-spring:1.2.4"

This is my AcceptanceTests.groovy file:

import cucumber.api.CucumberOptions
import cucumber.api.junit.Cucumber
import org.junit.runner.RunWith

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(
        strict = false,
        plugin = ["pretty", "html:build/reports/cucumber"],
        tags = ['~@ignore']
)
public class AcceptanceTests {}

Just wondering:

• Is there anyway to display the scenario name?
• Is it something I'm doing OR is it just not implemented yet? (OR does it exist in the Intellij IDEA Ultimate Edition?)
• Who can I suggest this feature to, if it doesn't exist yet?

I've forwarded my question to the author (Andrey Vokin) and raised an issue - https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-153338 .

I have same problem, and found where it's coming from in my case. For "scenario" at least, it seems to come from dots (".") : remove them from your scenario description and see what happens.
