QAF BDD plugin for IntelliJ

[eyalyovel2]

I need the QAF BDD plugin for IntelliJ but I can find it only for eclipse. Does this plugin exist also for IntelliJ?

Thanks, Eyal Yovel

For BDD syntax currently, there is no any plugin available for IntelliJ. As an alternative, I think you can use Cucumber Plugin for IntelliJ and use GherkinTestFactory provided by QAF.

Hi Amit,

Thanks for the help. We are using Gherkin Test Factory, but when we use the @QAFTestStep annotation for our step definitions then the cucumber plugin fails to recognize the implemented steps.

Do you think this is the expected behavior of Cucumber plugin with our @QAFTestStep annotation?

Thanks, Kulin

@kulin24,

IntelliJ Cucumber plugin can not find @QAFTestStep annotations, it can find only cucumber-java annotations, this is expected behavior.

To resolve this there is only one option that you can build your custom plugin from cucumber-java plugin with required some minor changes. ;-)

Any plan on creating plugin for Intellij as it will be helpful? Also could you please share any resource to customize the cucumber- java plugin.

A plugin for Intellij would be greatly appreciated

Any help in getting the cucumber-java plugin to work with QAF?

You can use BDD2 with QAF-cucumber and cucumber plugin for IDE of your choice. BDD2 is supported by TestNG runner using BDDTestFactory2 and by cucumber runner using QAF-cucumber. When using QAF-cucumber you can also use cucumber step implementation.
