VSCODE IDE Support

Although the admin users can maintain stories with the Edit dashboard online quickly, but Handow 'playwrights' should use an IDE as developing tool. The handow-seed project provides a VSCODE extension to work arround the story completion and validation.

Install Cucumber (Gherkin) Full Support extension to Vscode (File - Preference - Extension...), and run following command in the project root to install handow-story-support package:

$ code --install-extension handow-story-support.vsix

Then open or reload Vscode, the extensions will work on editing stories (.feature files).

• Gherkin syntax and highlight
• Tags completion and validation
• Steps completion and validation
• Global parameters suggestion
• Parameters format validation

If custom steps added to the step library, developers need rebuild the steps and reload the Vscode to update the steps suggestion list.
