[Cucumber] Unable to create cucumber feature file in intellij maven project

[Megha A.N]

Hi all,

I have created a maven project with cucumber. I have installed cucumber-java plugin also. but When I try to create feature file, its not recognising that it's a cucumber feature file. Please share thoughts what might have gone wrong.

Have you marked your sources and test sources folders as such? (Had this problem myself; I think that's how I fixed it)

I did some testing and all the files with .feature as an extention will be recognized by intellij as a cucumber feature file. This will be so when I do New -> File -> Gherkin feature file or just creating a new file and giving it the extension .feature.

There could be two possibilities:

- either you installed the plugin but did not yet restart IntelliJ. Fix this by restarting intellij

- or the plugin is not active in intellij, check this by going to preferences, plugins and make sure the checkbox at Cucumber plugin is checked.

Outside of this I have no clue. Let us know what worked?

Megha,

Take a look at https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-java-skeleton to see
what you're doing differently.
