Cucumber (Gherkin) Full support extension for VS Code was unable to find step for

Question

I'm using VS Code and Cucumber extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=alexkrechik.cucumberautocomplete&ssr=false#overview doesn't work. This is my settings.json in .vscode folder:

{
"cucumberautocomplete.steps": [
    "src/step_definitions/*.js",
],
"cucumberautocomplete.syncfeatures": "src/features/*feature",
"cucumberautocomplete.strictGherkinCompletion": true,
"cucumberautocomplete.strictGherkinValidation": true,
"cucumberautocomplete.smartSnippets": true,
"cucumberautocomplete.stepsInvariants": true,
// "cucumberautocomplete.pages": {
//     "users": "test/features/page_objects/users.storage.js",
//     "pathes": "test/features/page_objects/pathes.storage.js",
//     "main": "test/features/support/page_objects/main.page.js"
// },
"cucumberautocomplete.skipDocStringsFormat": true,
"cucumberautocomplete.formatConfOverride": {
    "And": 3,
    "But": "relative",
},
"cucumberautocomplete.onTypeFormat": true,
"editor.quickSuggestions": {
    "comments": false,
    "strings": true,
    "other": true
},
"cucumberautocomplete.gherkinDefinitionPart": "(Given|When|Then)\\(",
"cucumberautocomplete.stepRegExSymbol": "'"
}

And this is what I have added to settings.json of VS Code:

{
"workbench.colorTheme": "Default Light+",
"editor.quickSuggestions": true,
"window.zoomLevel": 0
}

When in my feature file I get the message for each line: "Was unable to find step for "Given I am on the dashboard page"cucumberautocomplete"

Can someone help to resolve this issue and make it work for VS Code?

Kind regards, mismas

Answer 1

So it finally worked when I:

I. deleted .vscode/settings.json (including the folder)
II. added following in global settings.json of Visual Sudio Code (the one in Users etc directory)

{
"workbench.colorTheme": "Default Light+",
"editor.quickSuggestions": true,
"window.zoomLevel": 0,
"gherkin-autocomplete.featuresPath": "src/features",
"cucumberautocomplete.steps": [
    "src/step_definitions/*.js",
],
"cucumberautocomplete.syncfeatures": "src/features/*feature",
} 

III. restarted VS Code

Either is something wrong with the plugin => meaning they didn't implemented as they think it should work or documentation is out dated ...

Answer 2

I had to remove the line

"cucumberautocomplete.stepRegExSymbol": "'"

and then it worked for me.

Answer 3

Just remove or comment on below line from setting.json

"cucumberautocomplete.stepRegExSymbol": "'"

It worked for me.

Answer 4

Windows10:

1. navigate to %APPDATA%\Code\User (which is VScode config folder)

2. add

   "gherkin-autocomplete.featuresPath": "features", "cucumberautocomplete.steps": [ "features/step_definitions/*.js",], "cucumberautocomplete.syncfeatures": "features/*feature"

3. restart vscode
