• Syntax highlighting
• Formatting (pretty printing)

Auto completion

When you start typing a step, you will see auto-complete suggestions based on existing step definitions and Gherkin steps.

The suggestions are more helpful if your step definitions use Cucumber Expressions but you'll also get suggestions if they use Regular Expressions.

Syntax highlighting

The syntax highlights highlights Gherkin keywords and step parameters. Undefined steps and syntax errors are underlined.

Formatting

When choosing to format a Gherkin document, it will be formatted using two space indentation. Numeric cells are right-aligned (as in Excel), and other cells are right-aligned.

Extension Settings

cucumber.features

The cucumber.features setting can be used to speciy where the extension should look for .feature files.

Default value:

{
  "cucumber.features": [
    "features/**/*.feature",
    "src/test/**/*.feature" 
  ]
}

cucumber.glue

The cucumber.glue setting can be used to speciy where the extension should look for source code where step definitions are defined.

Default value:

{
  "cucumber.glue": [
    "features/**/*.php",
    "features/**/*.rb",
    "features/**/*.ts",
    "src/test/**/*.java",
    "*specs*/**/.cs"
  ]
}

cucumber.parameterTypes

The cucumber.parameterTypes setting can be used to define Custom Parameter Types that are not directly visible in the source code.

Default value:

{
  "cucumber.parameterTypes": []
}

For example, if you're using the actor parameter type from @cucumber/screenplay you'll have to declare this in the parameterTypes setting:

{
  "cucumber.parameterTypes": [
    { "name": "actor", "regexp": "[A-Z][a-z]+" }
  ]
}
