How to debug Cucumber in Visual Studio Code (VSCode)?
When working with Ruby, it could be used on this way to run specific feature files:
{
"name": "Cucumber",
"type": "Ruby",
"request": "launch",
"cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
"program": "${workspaceRoot}/bin/cucumber",
"args": [
"--tags", "@Mytags",
]
}
You could try below configuration to make your debug working in VS Code. In the outFiles
give your feature file path.
{
"name": "e2e",
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/cucumber/bin/cucumber.js",
"outFiles": [
"${workspaceRoot}/features/*.feature"
]
}
============================================
UPDATE AS OF cucumber ^5.0.2:
{
"name": "NPM Cukes",
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"console": "integratedTerminal",
"program": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/cucumber/bin/cucumber-js",
"args": [
"path/to/features/**/*.feature",
"-r",
"path/to/steps/**/*",
"--tags",
"@your-tags"
]
}
If you want to debug only CURRENT feature, add this to launch.json
{
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/.bin/cucumber-js",
"args": ["${relativeFile}"],
"name": "Cukes current",
"console": "integratedTerminal",
"internalConsoleOptions": "neverOpen",
"windows": {
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/cucumber/bin/cucumber"
}
}
Tweaking the answer from Mukesh Rawat plus ensuring additional file paths were correct, got it working for me, :
Launch.json
{
"name": "DebugMode",
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/cucumber/bin/cucumber-js",
"args": [
"${workspaceRoot}/features/*.feature",
"--tags", "@debug"
]
}
Workspace.json
{
"cucumberautocomplete.steps": [
"features/steps/*.js"
],
"cucumberautocomplete.syncfeatures": "features/*.feature",
"cucumberautocomplete.strictGherkinCompletion": true,
"settings": {},
"folders": [
{
"path": "/Users/{me}/Documents/{project folder}/{project name}"
}
]
}
Package.json
"scripts": {
"debug": "node --inspect=1337 --debug-brk --nolazy node_modules/cucumber/bin/cucumber-js --tags @debug --format json:./reports/report.json",
CucumberTest.feature
@debug
Scenario: Validate I can get debug working
