I have started a course of Rest assured and Cucumber and I am trying to complete the first video exercise. For some reason, I am not able to make my feature file to find the step definition file. I have checked that the glue option value is set with the correct package name.

In addition to that, I have also seen that when I try to set a new step definition from the feature file, and I put the cursor on the path value, an error message is displayed: "Incorrect step definition directory path". This error is displayed with all the directory values.

I am using IntelIJ 2020.2.3 and I have installed the plugins for: -Cucumber for Groovy. -Cucumber for Java. -Gherkin. -Kotlin. -SubSteps IntellIJ plugin

This is the pom.xml file:

This is the feature file:

Feature:
  This feature video is based in the scenario described in the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Inwycw_Cpzk&list=PL6tu16kXT9PpgqfMbMdzUzDenYgb0gbk0&index=3&ab_channel=ExecuteAutomation)
  Verify GET operations using Rest-Assured

  Scenario: Verify author of the post
    Given I perform Get operation for "\posts"
    When I perform Get for the post number "1"
    Then I should see the author name as "Karthik KK"

This is the step definition:

package step_definitions;

import io.cucumber.java.en.Given;
import io.cucumber.java.en.When;
import io.cucumber.java.en.Then;

import static io.restassured.RestAssured.given;
import static io.restassured.RestAssured.when;
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.*;

import io.restassured.http.ContentType;

public class Video3 {
    @Given("^I perform Get operation for \"([^\"]*)\"$")
    private void iPerformGetOperationFor(String url) throws Throwable {
        given().contentType(ContentType.JSON);
    }

    @When("^I perform Get for the post number \"([^\"]*)\"$")
    private void iPerformGetForPostNumber(String postNumber) throws Throwable {
        when().get(String.format("https://localhost:3000/posts/%s", postNumber)).then().body("author", is("Karthik KK"));
    }

    @Then("^Then I should see the author name as \"([^\"]*)\"$")
    private void iSeeAuthorAs(String name) throws Throwable {
    }
}

...and this is the stack trace error

You can implement missing steps with the snippets below:
@Given("I perform Get operation for {string}")
public void i_perform_get_operation_for(String string) {
    // Write code here that turns the phrase above into concrete actions
    throw new io.cucumber.java.PendingException();
}

  • Could you please try to temporarily disable "SubSteps" plugin? – y.bedrov Nov 23 '20 at 07:44
  • Is the package `step_definitions` located in `src/MAIN/java` or `src/TEST/java`? – Fenio Nov 23 '20 at 07:57
  • @Fenio: As you can see in the screenshots, step_definitions is in src/test/java – Charlie_QA Nov 23 '20 at 17:17
  • @y.bedrov: I have disabled "SubSteps Intellij plugin", restarted Intellij and re-run the same feature file. No success, same error message is displayed. BTW, I have enable the write permissions in both the step definition folder and file to discard that is a permission problem. – Charlie_QA Nov 23 '20 at 17:22
  • @y.bedrov: I have also disabled the Kotlin plugins and restarted. No success. – Charlie_QA Nov 23 '20 at 17:26

Finally, I have been able to realize what I did wrong. Methods in the step definition file need to be PUBLIC instead of PRIVATE. That´s the reason because feature file wasn´t able to access to any of the methods.
