How are you selecting the rule?

[elbaih101]

iam clicking on the run icon

[elbaih101]

thats wehn i click on it without any tags

and thats with tag

but it doesnt run

no steps are run at all

[elbaih101]

IF i run it through the runners class it runs no proplem but this makes depugging hard for me

[elbaih101]

thanks
is there anything Iam supposed to do now or just wait

[mpkorstanje]

The problem is a bit complicated.

• IDEA selects the whole feature to run when targeting a rule.
• IDEA uses the --name filter when targeting a rule with an annotation.
• Cucumber does not support selecting rules (or examples) by line number.

The third one will be fixed by #2884. And once released, IDEA will have to fix this the first two one their end. I'll create the feature request for that, because I also want them to make it possible to select examples.

edit:

Once created, I suppose you could upvote the request, and get other people to upvote it too. JetBrains isn't very quick with feature requests otherwise. 😆

of course iam willing to do this once u create it

[elbaih101]

i think i created one

I think that won't be very helpful, you've left out the information needed for Intelij to fix the issue. And without the fix being released in Cucumber, they won't be able to implement anything just yet.

seems i cant delete it sorry for the inconvenience

[mpkorstanje]

No worries.

How did you get these markers from your screenshot?

I don't get these. I only get them for Features, Rules, Scenarios and Scenario Outlines.

[elbaih101]

I am using cucumber + plugin but it's not perfect
