VSCode intellisense, code navigation doesn't work

[tim-yao]

Expected Behavior

In VSCode, code navigation for Nightwatch.js API commands should work. Like use F12 to got the definition.

Current Behavior

For example:

Given(/^I open DuckDuckGo search page$/, async () => {
  await client.url('https://duckduckgo.com/');
});

Works on client, not work on url or any Nightwatch commands.

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Open a nightwatch-api project in VSCode. Example my test project, which is mostly of copy of nightwatch-api cucumber example: https://github.com/tim-yao/eyes-poc

Context

It is a pain without intellisense work properly, auto complete, code nav is just not working.

Your Environment

• Version used: nightwatch-api@3.0.2
• Browser Name and version: -
• Operating System and version (desktop or mobile): Mac
• Link to your project:

I have cucumber autocomplete installed, but it's only for Gherkin scripts, won't do anything for Nightwatch.

Hi @tim-yao I am afraid this is not something we could help you with. there could be various reasons behind this like your vscode extensions and user settings.

Hi @spnraju what you may can help is tell me it does work for you so we can continue check my settings. I have other projects works fine like Cypress, I don't need any settings. I also have confirmed with nightwatch.js and they admitted that Nightwatch.js doesn't has the VSCode intellisense support. I ask here is because I see Nightwatch API has some work for that, sounds like should work.
