How to get Gherkin syntax highlighting for .feature files in Visual Studio?

[Alexander Hanhikoski]

Is there a way to enable highlighting of the keywords of Gherkin
language similar to Cucumber?

Check out Cuke4Vs:

http://github.com/henritersteeg/cuke4vs

It also offers intellisense for feature files and navigating from feature files to step definitions.

Thanks. Is someone successfully using it with VS2010? What modifications are needed to make it work?

Here's a fork should support VS2010 (I haven't tested myself):

Is there a built installer (can someone build one) for that fork that
i can test with VS 2010? I can't get it to build :(

I spent couple of hours trying to built it and couldn't do it. Apparently you need to install Wix installer tool set http://wix.sourceforge.net/ and Visual Studio SDK, but even after these I still was missing Microsoft.VisualStudio.Package.LanguageService.9.0.dll. I tried with the newer version (v.10.0) but wasn't able to compile. Perhaps the v.9.0 is part of VS2008? Anyway, maybe we should contact the author of the VS2010 fork.

the author of that fork, forked from my VS2010 fork ;) i have a binary which i've updated to cuke4vs 0.3.1 for 2010, but havent tested it myself.....

i've provided an (unofficial) link to the binary: 

http://rapidshare.com/files/394792357/Setup.msi.html

If anyone is interested in taking this fork, and fixing it up (remove the obvious duplication everywhere) be my guest.

Thank you for the effort and packet. I installed the msi-packet. Using VS2010 professional edition. Opening .feature files crashes, hangs or simply doesn't open the file. I simply created a new console application, referenced NUnit and Specflow DLLs and created a new Specflow feature and tried opening the .feature file. Wasn't the original packet released for RC/Beta of VS2010? Could there be compatibility issues with final release?

@Xerxes,

What edition and build of VS are you using?

Thanks again.

I'm using it for VS2010 and the syntax highlight works, but the
navigation and the validation not. In one case it was crashing my VS
when i have opened a file, but most of the time it is stable enough.

So you have the same problem that I had...

I learned that the easiest way to switch off/on cuke4vs, if you rename
the registry key at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Languages
\File Extensions\.feature

to .feature_x (on x64, you need to use the wow64 node). It is easier
than install/uninstall. For me only one file had this issue (as far as
i remember the default feature file) and after I have modified it, the
problem disappeared.

Weird. My registry has HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\ which contains only Debugger\.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Languages on the other hand has \Languages but no \File Extensions nor \File Extensions\.feature

I built it last night using 2010 RTM.

There could well be problems with the 2010 version of the plugin - all i did was create a duplicate wix installer to configure it for VS2010, and didnt make any changes to the underlying plugin model.

Now that Gaspar mentions it, I seem to recall having a similar issue with the code completion not working with the VS2010 version back when it was RC. I'd stopped using it so this had slipped my mind. 

Sorry :(

[Gáspár Nagy]

Hi,

I guess you have an x64... in this case, the key should be

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio

\10.0\Languages\File Extensions\.feature

VS 2010 is still crashing when opening any feature file. Has anyone
been able to successfully install Cuke4Vs on vs 2010?
