The eclipse plugin : org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui_3.13.300.v20240207-1034.jar don't contains the class <FilterViewerComparator>. 
Otherwise the old version org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui-3.2.102.v20071002_r332.jar contains the class.

I tried to replace the jar but without success. 
Is this blocking for the continuation using plugin in eclipse ?

I have installed plugin version 1.0.0.202010091040 and can see that this supports Cucumber 4.2  Is there a planned date for the plugin to support Cucumber 6.x?  The file cucumber.eclipse.backends.java_1.0.0.202010091040.jar contains cucumber-java-4.2.0.jar and cucumber-core-4.2.0.jar.  Some of the Java classes ahve changed packages after version 4.5.   

I have installed the latest plugin on Eclipse Version: 2020-06 (4.16.0), Build id: 20200615-1200. After installation completion and Eclipse restart I create a feature file under my project, Eclipse immediately shows a popup that the .feature file type not associated with any plugin available. It suggests to install a plugin from marketplace. Choosing the option opens marketplace wher I can see that this plugin is already installd. Please help.

Plugin installed and recognized the feature files and Gherkin syntax. But it is not detecting step definitons. I have a need to pull some step def from dependency jar as well. In my case, no step definitons are recognized. I also tried with Eclipse 2020-03 release as well. I installed all different ways, from eclipse marketplace, as a zip file. No luck. Any pointers please.

thanks for this great plugin, it helped a lot to simply the BBD development process.

I have a issue when editing the feature file, when I change some context in the feature file, then Cucumber Building(sleeping) thread will block other tasks to startup, if I removed the Cucumber builder from the project, then all the functions work properly. could you please have a look at this issue?

I am using the Eclipse Platform Version: 4.14.0.v20191210-0610

Cheers,

Alan

I just installed Eclipse IDE for Java Developers, Version: 2019-09 R (4.13.0), and Build id: 20190917-1200.

In Eclipse Marketplaces, I see version 0.0.23.201811220126 and not 1.0.0.

When I try to install 0.0.23.201811220126, I get the following error message:

After upgrading to Cucumber 4.x the following capabilities were lost:

  • Following a Cucumber step definition from the feature file to the Java method that implements it

    With 2.x It was possible to hover over a step definition which would become a clickable "link" which when clicked would lead to the method that was responsible for implementing the step.

  • Seeing a green marker arrow indicating the step about to be execute in the scenario

    With 2.x, the JUnit view would display the steps of the currently executing scenario with a little green "arrow" marker that indicated the next step to be executed. Now there is no green arrow and (worse) no steps list - only the name of the executed scenario.

I am using Eclipse 2018-09 (a.k.a. 4.9) - but these capabilities were lost also on Photon (a.k.a. 4.8)

 

In reply to by Lyor Goldstein

Hi Lyor, 

The feature "follow a cucumber step definition from a feature file" works with the latest Eclipse version  (4.9.0). You could use both traditional shortcuts: F3 or CTRL+clic.

For the "green arrow", I don't know what your are talking about. Could you create an issue on Github to explain more ?

Thank you
