BDD Go to Step

Description

A Visual Studio Code extension that provides go to step implementation on feature files for Cucumber, Behave and pytest-bdd.

How to use

In the feature file place the cursor on the line with the step and:

• from the context menu (Right-Click) choose the option: Go to Step Definition
• from the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) execute the comamnd: BDD: Go to Step Definition

You can also define a keybinding to F12 in keybindings.json

  {
    "key": "F12",
    "command": "bdd-gotostep.goToDef",
    "when": "editorTextFocus && resourceLangId == feature || editorTextFocus && resourceLangId == behave"
  }

Settings

The extension has the following settings:

• bdd-gotostep.include : Glob pattern relative to Workspace folder of the step definition files to include, (default features/**/*.*)
• bdd-gotostep.exclude : Glob pattern relative to Workspace folder of the step definition files to exclude, (default features/**/*.feature)

They can be found in the Settings GUI under: Extensions > BDD Go To Step

You only have to change these settings if you store the .feature files in a different directory than features.

Supported languages

Using the examples in the Cucumber and Behave documentation the following languages have step detection:

• C++
• Python
• JavaScript
• TypeScript
• Java
• Ruby
• Kotlin
• Scala
• Lua

If there is a missing language create an issue and show the typical step definition (Get/When/Then) variations (string, regular expression) with parameters (like {name}) and the file language extensions where it can be defined.
