NetBeans 6.5.1 Can Now Recognize My Cucumber .feature Files! http://www.pmamediagroup.com/2009/04/what-netbeans-651-can-now-recognize-my-cucumber-feature-files/ http://www.pmamediagroup.com/2009/04/what-netbeans-651-can-now-recognize-my-cucumber-feature-files/#comments Thu, 02 Apr 2009 22:59:18 +0000 Chris Gunnels http://www.pmamediagroup.com/?p=385 After watching Ryan Bates’ screencast on Cucumber, I wanted to start creating my code first through BDD. I used Netbeans 6.5.1 to follow Ryan’s screencast and I found that NetBeans doesn’t recognize the .feature file that you create when you run a Cucumber test. I searched Google for about 3 hours for a plugin, but no such luck! I couldn’t believe it, I thought somebody had to of created a cukes plugin by now. Well, I decided to help the world and of course, myself, by creating a NetBeans plugin that will recognize the .feature files. Here’s a quick view of a .feature file after the plugin has been installed:

I have uploaded the plugin to the NetBeans Plugin site, but you can download it from this link: NetBeans Cucumber Plugin -v 1.0


EDIT: Netbeans has been down for a week or two so we’ve made the download available here: Netbeans Cucumber Plugin
After you download the project navigate to: CucumberFileType / build / org-myorg-cucumberfiletype.nbm
Install the .nbm file with netbeans and your ready to go.
END EDIT

To install the plugin all you have to do is:

  1. Download it (Duh)
  2. Open NetBeans and go to Tools -> Plugins
  3. In the Plugins dialog click on the “Downloaded” tab
  4. Click “Add Plugins…”
  5. Browse to where ever you downloaded the .nbm file and click “Open”
  6. Last, click the “Install” button and you finished.

Hope you like it. Please report any bugs or changes.
