Specflow-Nunit-Fresher

[priya lakshmi]

Hi All,

  I am new to C#/Specflow, I have experience in Java/Cucumber/Selenium. After downloading all the dependencies related to selenium/Specflow/Nunit,When i try to create a new (default)feature file and generated default Step Definition from the feature file. When I try to rebuild the solution, I am getting Errors and all errors are pointing to the default file [.feature.cs] that got generated. And when I opened the desired '.feature.cs' file i have the following content:

System.Globalization.CultureNotFoundException: Culture is not supported.

Parameter name: name

{not-specified} is an invalid culture identifier.

   at System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(String name)

   at TechTalk.SpecFlow.Configuration.AppConfig.AppConfigConfigurationLoader.LoadAppConfig(SpecFlowConfiguration specFlowConfiguration, ConfigurationSectionHandler configSection)

   at TechTalk.SpecFlow.Configuration.ConfigurationLoader.Load(SpecFlowConfiguration specFlowConfiguration, ISpecFlowConfigurationHolder specFlowConfigurationHolder)

   at TechTalk.SpecFlow.Generator.Configuration.GeneratorConfigurationProvider.LoadConfiguration(SpecFlowConfiguration specFlowConfiguration, SpecFlowConfigurationHolder specFlowConfigurationHolder)

   at TechTalk.SpecFlow.Generator.GeneratorContainerBuilder.CreateContainer(SpecFlowConfigurationHolder configurationHolder, ProjectSettings projectSettings)

   at TechTalk.SpecFlow.Generator.TestGeneratorFactory.CreateGenerator(ProjectSettings projectSettings)

   at TechTalk.SpecFlow.VisualStudio.CodeBehindGenerator.Actions.GenerateTestFileAction.GenerateTestFile(GenerateTestFileParameters opts)

Request you to guide me where I am lagging, because the exception I am getting is related to the default sample feature file content. Is there any other pre-requisite apart from downloading the Specflow for Visual Studio & DLLs like Specflow,Nunit,Selenium from Nuget Manager? I am really lost here kindly provide me suggession.

Is it possible that your app.config file contains a culture that is not supported by Gherkin? What culture have you entered? Can you share your app.config file?

Hi Stephen,

  Thank you for the reply :) , but I solved that issue by adding the following tags in the app.config xml file - 

    <language feature="en-US" tool="" />

    <bindingCulture name="en-US" />

Since this definition was missing I got errors in the .feature.cs file that got generated by default.  

Regards,

Priya
