ParserSyntaxError: syntax error in feature files

[tomatobrown]

I'm on a Windows 7 OS with: Ruby 2.2.4... yard (0.8.7.6) yard-cucumber (2.1.6) cucumber (>= 0.7.5) gherkin (>= 2.2.9) yard (>= 0.7.0)

I've copied a piece of an example scenario:

Comments that appear before the feature are associated with the feature

@scenarios Feature: Displaying Scenarios As a reader of the documentation I expect that scenario are documented correctly

Comments after the feature description belong to the background or first scenario

Background: Given this background step

@first @bvt Scenario: No Step Scenario

@second @bvt Scenario: Scenario With Steps Given this first step When this second step Then this third step

And I created a rakefile with: require 'yard'

YARD::Rake::YardocTask.new do |t| t.files = ['features/**/example.feature'] end

My output is: rake yard [warn]: Error loading plugin 'yard-cucumber' [warn]: Syntax error in features/consumer/banner.feature:(3,8): syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting end-o f-input [warn]: ParserSyntaxError: syntax error in features/consumer/banner.feature:(3,8): syntax error, unexpected ' :', expecting end-of-input [warn]: Stack trace: C:/Ruby22/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/yard-0.8.7.6/lib/yard/parser/ruby/ruby_parser.rb:545:in on_parse_er ror' C:/Ruby22/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/yard-0.8.7.6/lib/yard/parser/ruby/ruby_parser.rb:50:inparse' C:/Ruby22/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/yard-0.8.7.6/lib/yard/parser/ruby/ruby_parser.rb:50:in parse' C:/Ruby22/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/yard-0.8.7.6/lib/yard/parser/ruby/ruby_parser.rb:15:inparse' C:/Ruby22/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/yard-0.8.7.6/lib/yard/parser/source_parser.rb:439:in parse' C:/Ruby22/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/yard-0.8.7.6/lib/yard/parser/source_parser.rb:44:inblock in parse'

Ya.. I'm having a similar issue.. It seems like yard is not recognizing feature files, (and is still only using the ruby parser)

additionally I also tried adding

:"yard-cucumber":
  menus: [ 'features', 'directories', 'tags', 'steps', 'step definitions' ]
  language:
      step_definitions: [ 'Given', 'When', 'Then', 'And']

to my

~/.yard/config file

too, but that doesn't help.
Not sure what we are doing wrong.. I am just hoping an issue here helps getting inputs from people who actually use yard-cucumber :)

[tomatobrown]

I believe it has something to do with using Ruby 2.2.4. I wasn't having these issues with Ruby 2.17

[ufo2mstar]

Hmm.. I'm debugging my way through yard-cucumber2 and feel that it is the cucumber and gherkin versions that is the issue (lookin at some requires here) Can you please let me know the cucumber and gherkin versions that you are using with your Ruby 2.17 as opposed to your 2.2.4 ? (i'm in Ruby 2.2.0 btw.. with cucumber (2.3.2) and gherkin (3.2.0))

[tomatobrown]

Sorry, I don't know what versions of cucumber and gherkin I was using with 2.1.7. But, the good news is that am no longer having this issue on a Windows machine. The commits on Mar 14, 2016 must have fixed it.

I am however seeing this issue still when running from CentOS

I believe we can close this ticket and I'll open a new one for the CentOS issue. Sound good?
