Missing step advisor

[shdblowers]

When Cabbage informs you of a missing step, it just copy + pastes what the Gherkin step was.

As a user it would be more useful if Cabbage did some of the work to turn that into the form of what the regex should look like so variables are captured with regex capture groups.

This is start of a larger piece of work to convert all things the Gherkin language says it captures as variables.

Awesome, thanks! I was thinking about doing this but I didn't just to get the proof of concept out and then I haven't revisited.

Excited for this PR! Lemme know when its ready for another pass! Thanks again

The plan is to implement support for numbers / strings / booleans / (anything else?).

And also implement the fact that variables found in the regex will be reflected in the vars argument.

Will hopefully be able to carry on work on this in this week.

:smile:

Just made this PR so there wasn't any repeated effort on this section of work.

I think this looks good, lets finish this up and do the vars part of it as another PR.

Hi @mgwidmann got it working now to handle multiple capture groups for numbers, single and double quote strings :smile:

[shdblowers]

It could do with some refactoring around the join functions to make the code more DRY. And also make changes based on your comment about how exceptions are defined. However, I don't think I'm going to have another chance to work on this for about a week.

So feel free to make changes to this branch, or merge and make changes to master, or whatever.

Sorry I haven't had much free time in the past few weeks! This is looking good, we'll get this into the next release.
