Anybody know of a plugin or plugins available for Eclipse?  I'd like the plugin to, hopefully, support the following:

- Navigate from step to stepdef
- Code completion
- Feature file highlighting
- Running the scenario or feature file from within Eclipse

Unfortunately the authors don't seem to join forces to create a single good one.

I have previously offered a repo for that under https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-eclipse

Aslak

Thanks, Aslak.  Choice can be a good thing, however, as you've alluded to, it sure would nice if there was one (or possibly 2)  good ones to choose from.

I'd be happy to promote one of them to an official plugin if:
* It has more than 5 contributors
* You guys voted it the most promising one

So which is the best one?

Hi Aslak,

Matt Pietal and I have made mutterings about joining our two plugins together, I think this will happen. Other than that, I think you wanted the packages etc to be cucumber.eclipse.*? This would also mean changing my existing eclipse plugin/feature IDs, so I might think about doing that in the next non-bugfix release.

Of the other two plugins you've listed, I think one seems to me to be a plain Gherkin editor with no extra cucumber JVM integration, and the other seems to be someone playing with xtext - they themselves recommend using netbeans!

Cheers,
James

Great news - cucumber.eclipse is fine with me.

Aslak, you forgot about Natural https://github.com/rlogiacco/Natural!!!

And I already said I will be willing to join forces in having a common solution, but I never received feedback so I assumed there's no interest in merging with Natural.

BTW, it is created with Xtext and features:
- templates
- click through from step to stepdef
- warnings for missing stepdefs and duplicate stepdefs

Regards,
   Roberto

The step to stepdefs feature works for Java code only, the remaining is language neutral but there might be errors so if you are willing to give it a try and report issues I will be glad to fix it.

I prefer Matthew Pietal's plugin currently.  But I'd love to see Mr. Pietal and Mr. Potes merge their work and have Aslak promote it as the official Cuke JVM plugin.

Ok, I will try it. I am not a Cucumber expert, I am trying to solve some issues to use Cucumber as the BDD tool to drive embedded development. I found a good ebook in beta release (Cucumber Recipes) that helped me to have some results. Considering that Eclipse is the IDE used by several C/C++ compilers is quite interesting to have the possibility to edit also Gherkin files in the same IDE.

So, what I would to have is a BDD environment based on a PC interfaced to the embedded system.
Actually I am using Cucmber and the wire protocol to drive an USB to serial converter because the current application has no GUI but only a serial or CAN bus communication interface so this environment is quite good but is not very general to use especially when the embedded device has a keyboard and an LCD used as a GUI.

For my team convenience we should write the test sw "interfaced" to Cucumber using C++ on the PC (actually we try using Ruby but we have to learn better also Ruby) or Java.

Sure. I just added gherkin syntax highlighting as that was the itch I was scratching. So thats all that is in the plugin I have on GitHub. As that's all I needed. I will add any one as a contributor who asks to be added.

It seems there is finally some sort of feedback on this plugin thing.... So let's the users decide which one could be considered the merging point and let's move forward... Unless anyone has any point against some of the available options....

Your plugin is my favourite! (Just kidding - I haven't tried any of them ;-)

To the authors of each of the Eclipse plugins .... 

I'd like to try out all of the plugins, however, thus far I've only been able to install the Eclipse Plugin for Cucumber -- it's one of the few plugins with detailed installation instructions.  I'd like to give both Natural and cukes-jvm-eclipse-plugin a try, but neither of these plugins have installation instructions listed on their github site. Be kind to your users, and please include some instructions on how to install and in my case, how to uninstall your software -- since I'd like to try each of the plugins separately.

In the Natural github wiki there's an entire page dedicated to installation instructions and it is linked from the wiki home page. For your commodity here is the link https://github.com/rlogiacco/natural/wiki/Installation-Guide

Sorry, the link Aslak shared is to the source repository, not the website of my plugin. I've made the two link up now. The link you're after is http://mrpotes.github.com/cukes-jvm-eclipse-plugin/ - install/uninstall is all handled in the usual eclipse update site way.

It's good to see all the work on Eclipse plugins for authoring and navigating Features and Step Definitions.

Has anyone considered the integration between the Eclipse JUnit plugin and Cucumber? For instance:
- the ability to double click a feature/scenario/step in the JUnit tree and go to the corresponding line/feature file
- the ability to run/debug a feature/scenario from the JUnit tree

I had some communication a few weeks ago woth a guy from the Scala community about their experiences of enhancing the JUnit plugin. They decided to go their own way and rely on a dedicated plug in, but did give me some hints. So far, I haven't had a chance to look further at this.

Cheers

I found the following StackOverflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7892070/how-does-eclipse-actually-run-junit-tests/7896628#7896628

The answer from Matthew Farwell was authoritative, so I mailed him and he responded:
"We have the (approximately) the same problem when running Scalatest Specs from scala-ide. The general idea is the same as with Cucumber, you've got a class with a load of 'tests' within a single method. There, the problem is that Eclipse assumes that the name of the test is also the name of the method within the java class, and we get an 'Method xxx not found, Opening test class'. Your problem is probably quite similar, but I don't know specifically how Cucumber JVM works.

So, your problem is almost certainly not in JUnit, and won't be changed by changing your runners, it will be in the Eclipse plugin.

In principle, there shouldn't be any reason why these problems can't be fixed. However, you'll need to take the following things into account:

Eclipse uses JUnit heavily, and it's part of the standard distribution, so anything that touches the JUnit plugin needs to be well thought out and well tested.
They only allow additional features on the latest release, for older releases, only bugfixes are allowed. This won't count as a bugfix.

For information, the Scalatest guys wrote their own plugin rather than try to fit in with the JUnit plugin. You can find the code on github: https://github.com/scalatest/scalatest-eclipse-plugin, if you can read Scala."

I'd like to take this forward, time permitting :)

Hi, 

On a new CucumberJVM I am going to try Eclipse instead of my trusted RubyMine. Came across the Natural plugin. Installation was a snap and the plugin does just what I need in a very straightforward and familiar manner. Thank you!

@Tim and @Augusto very much appreciated!
I don't know if you had the opportunity to give a try to the latest version 0.7.2 which brings the step description code assistant to a new level: hit CTRL+space after a step keyword and a list of available mappings will be presented.
Next version will bring spell checking ;)

No need to install Cucumber at all, especially considering Cucumber JVM is a library and doesn't need to be installed

I've tried your plugin along with Roberto's. However, I couldn't make any of them work. It just didn't auto complete, and couldn't seem to recognize the @Given, @When, @Then tags. Do you have a plan to provide a detailed step-by-step document about how to enable the features after installation? Otherwise I really don't know what to do. I tried ctrl-space but it didn't work.

Hi, my plugin should work right away using CTRL space should provide you auto completion.... If it doesn't work please submit an issue request attaching a clean eclipse log file for debugging.

Please provide eclipse version and Java version, OS and 32/64 bit bit flavour of each of the components you use.

I had reports of some incompatibility eps between mixed 32/64 bits components in the chain but hadn't the opportunity to properly fix/debug it.

You might be able to provide the missing info I need to debug the issue.

Thanks,

It should be part of eclipse preferences, I'm on a mobile right now and can't search for you, but it should be something regarding hit keys or something within window/preferences.

I think that's probably where the problem is. I am using Chinese PC, so ctrl+space is switching input method for me on Windows. I guess that take precedence over your auto completion. Is it possible for me to change the hot key?

In my plugin it will list all the matching stepdefs, keep typing the initial letters of your step and it will reduce the items

I figured out that alt+/ also auto completes for me. It can even jump to the step definition. However, a big drawback is that I can't auto complete based on what I've entered. That will be a big problem when I have hundreds of steps. I will have to search for what I need from a list of hundreds of steps, which isn't quite fun.

I found that. Thanks.

One thing I am seeing now is that it fails to parse the steps when we use scenario outline and examples. I think people write that kind of scenarios very often, so not being able to parse that will be a problem.

Hi,

Has anyone figured out how to get around the scenario outline issue with this plugin? I still have the highlighting appearing and telling me there are no step definitions when i use a scenario outline.

Thanks

That should have been fixed, please check the plugin version matches the latest available and eventually submit an issue to the tracker with a screenshot and an example.

Thanks

Yes, I saw that and replied to it.

As you see the issue is relative to a difference in matching approach between the plugin and cucumber, mostly due to performance requirements.

We should discuss the possible solutions considering their pros and cons.
