@and annotated steps are not see by the autocomplete

✅

auto complete should highlite @and defined steps

📦

io.cucumber:cucumber-java:7.7.0,
Java 17,
vscode 1.76.1
plugin 1.7.0

🔬 create a java feature file with @and annotated steps

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. add @Annotated method to java class
2. configure class to be picked up by glue settings
3. start writing .feature file
4. try to use step

📚 Any additional context?

@peterdstone I think @And is deprecated

I wanted to this ask too, is this now the current behavior of this as a general standard when working with cucumber, that I have to change all the @And annotated methods to @Given since I cannot use to Go to Definition if I do not did that?

Mmh, you normally only need @Given, @When and @Then (3 step types).
And and But in Gherkin files are only used to state Use the same step-type than before myself. This means, you inherit the step-type from one of the steps before (that is not And or But).

BUT: In the step-implementation, you need to state which step-type is used.
This allows you also to change the ordering of steps.

Okay, so I will take it as yes on my question.

Closing as per above comments and as the keyword is unsupported in the Cucumber ecosystem by design. However it is possible this support could arrive with an implementation to configure the keywords that the autocompletion matches against (see #146). Thanks for raising!
