8 months ago I have the same situation. This is my log with some personal stuff scrubbed:

Warning: AndDiscoveryProviderSucceed: The project bindings (e.g. step definitions) could not be discovered. Navigation, step completion and other features are disabled.
Please check the error message above and report to https://github.com/SpecFlowOSS/SpecFlow.VS/issues if you cannot fix.
Warning: AndDiscoveryProviderSucceed: Error during binding discovery. `
I get the same log for each project in the solution. I am not able to navigate to step definitions.

Issue Description
I have created an Unit Test Project in visual studio the required references also added to the project level (NUnit, SpecFlow, BaseClass.Contrib.SpecFlow.Selenium.Nunit, SpecRun.Runner,Autofac, Autofac Configuration, SpecFlow.Assist.Dynamic etc.,). after creating a feature file when i try to create step definition by right clicking, it is showing the popup saying all steps are define already Note: it is only happening with the Unit test Project structure.
Steps to Reproduce
1) Create a Unit Test Project 2) Create a feature folder and add the specflow feature file 3) Write the gherkin scenario for the created feature file 4) Install following packages (NUnit, SpecFlow, BaseClass.Contrib.SpecFlow.Selenium.Nunit, SpecRun.Runner,Autofac, Autofac Configuration, SpecFlow.Assist.Dynamic etc.,). 5) Create a step definition file and move it to the step definition folder. 6) save all and build the project. 7) right click on scenario, select Define steps. 8) and issue will arise (all steps are define already)
