I am very new to Selenium and Cucumber. I am asking for your kind advice. My problem is: Feature file - step is not highlighted, not showing warning messages if step definition is undefined.

My Feature file:

I tried to investigate myself and find that import io.cucumber.junit.CucumberOptions; in combination with stepNotifications = true may help. However when I try to add it I am getting: "The import io.cucumber.junit cannot be resolved". Looking forward for your kind advice.

I found an answer here: Step Definition detection only works when project is configured as cucumber project.- Virtual Machine

Generally speaking: If the step definition is not happened and the feature file does not highlight undefined steps with amber color that means that the project is not converted as a cucumber project. Do the following:

1. In order to convert the project as a cucumber project do the following: Right-click on your project from the Project Explorer > Configure > Convert as Cucumber Project.

2. Ensure option Enable Step Definitions Glue Detection is checked in Window > Preferences > Cucumber
