Was unable to find a step for “”: Mapping stepDefinitions to feature file in cucumber

Was unable to find step for “Given open application as admin user”cucumberautocomplete

While working with cucumber, when steps are not mapped completely with the feature files, it usually gives this as a warning.

In this blog, I will share how can we map the step definition with the feature files.

How does the feature look like?

unimplemented_methods

But I already have a step defined for this, then why this error is coming?

These steps will help you in resolving this error.

Add Cucumber extension

In protractor configuration file, in require block add the path of step definitions like this:-

  require: [
            './e2e/hooks/*.ts',
            './e2e/stepDefinition/*/*.ts',
        ],

hooks

No changes in hooks file

Settings.json

Check the settings.json
