Cucumber autocomplete in feature file not working

[DerZyklop]

Describe the bug I installed cucumberautocomplete in my VSCode but it does not do anything. No autocomplete, no underlined steps when they are not part of my steps files, nothing.

Tested it on three computers with our project. Tested it in a new test-project-folder on my mac. For the second, see screenshot.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install VSCode
2. Install cucumberautocomplete
3. Create file feature/foo.feature with content
4. Create file steps/foo.steps.ts, but leave it empty

Expected behavior Underlined Given Hello World. Plus… shouldn’t there be some output for this extension? I don’t get an entry for this extension in my »Output« dropdown:

Cucumberautocomplete part of VSCode settings:

{
    "cucumberautocomplete.syncfeatures": "feature/*.feature",
    "cucumberautocomplete.steps": ["steps/*.ts"]
}

Step definition: If applicable, add example of step definition:

// no step definition

Gherkin step line If applicable, add step line from gherkin file Given Hello World

I think it's just extremely slow. It takes at least 1min for me to start up or to pick-up changes in step definitions. It's so slow, it's of no use atm for unfortunately :unamused:

Edit: Found my issue. I used "**/steps/*.step.ts" for "cucumberautocomplete.steps. I guess that was a bit greedy. Changing to "*steps/*.step.ts" solved it for me

@doktordirk Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, this did not help in my case. It is still not working.

I wonder how I could debug this issue. Can anyone give me a hint how to get any output?

Hello there! What type of output do you expect? There are no runtime logs in the extension, all the error and warnings would be shown in the UI. Also, feature files would not be checked in case of no steps. You should add at least one step to get 'such step is not exist' warning.

I can not tell what was going wrong. We restructured our folders and environment. Nowadays, it's working fine. Sorry to bother you, and thanks again for the try to help. I think, since no one else commented on this with a similar issue, it can be closed.
