Undefined step definitions in IntelliJ

Question

I'm trying to follow this article to match Cucumber specs with step definitions in IntelliJ.

When I press Alt+Enter, I see Inspection 'Undefined Step' options. However, I should see the intention action Create Step Definition.

I thought I had the Cucumber IntelliJ plugin installed, so that shouldn't be a problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Turns out I had the Gherkin plugin but not the Cucumber for Java plugin.

Answer 2

I wasted around an hour to solve this. My issue was, Idea was able to navigate from feature to step file. But when I wanted to execute one cucumber test from feature file (Right click and Run Scenario), it was giving error as undefined steps.

Solution: In the Edit Configuration -> provide the Glue for the cucumber which should be absolute path till steps folder. Please see below screen shot

This fixed my problem of running feature file from Idea. Hope this helps others.

Answer 3

Most probably you need to install the cucumber for java plugin, if already installed then you need to enable from File>>Settings>>pugins.

Answer 4

I had to uncheck the "Create separate module per source set" checkbox under the "Build, Execution, Deployment" -> "Build Tools" -> "Gradle" settings, and then rebuild the project.

Answer 5

"Undefined" step error message would appear if you import a new BDD project.

This error could appear due to two reasons.

1. If you have not installed the "Cucumber for Java" plugin.
2. If you import any BDD projects then it will not detect step definition file.

Solution: 1. If the plugin is not found then you need to install from the below location. File->Settings->Plugins->MarketPlace->Cucumber for Java 2. After Importing the project disable the plugin and enable once again in the Installed section under Installed.
