Hello hello, readers!
I've been finding Cucumber development with Eclipse a bit painful, namely with regards to the lack of linkage between Feature files and Step Definitions as well as executed tests and Step Definitions. Having to navigate to your Step Definition Java classes and perform text searches for the scenario step you're interested in is just plain inefficient. So what's the solution?
Luckily for me, my colleague, Tom Whitmore had recently dug up a Cucumber plugin from the internet which seems to work brilliantly. It does not link executed tests to step definitions :'( However it does link feature files to step definitions quite beautifully. All you have to do is hold the 'Ctrl' key and mouse over your feature steps. If there's a matching step, click to go to it! It also has all sorts of cute syntax highlighting of feature files. Makes life easier :)
Anyway, it's called Natural, by Roberto Lo Giacco. Find it here: Natural on Github.
Happy BDD-ing, people,
