Cucumber: Undefined step although the step is defined

Question

I have this step implementation

Given /^entity URI "([^"]*)"$/ do |arg1| @entityUri = arg1 end

I copied this step from an existing feature file to a new feature file

   Given entity URI <Entity Resource URI>

Cucumber states 1 scenario (1 undefined) 8 steps (2 skipped, 4 undefined, 2 passed) 0m0.009s

You can implement step definitions for undefined steps with these snippets:

Given /^entity URI "(.*?)"$/ do |arg1| pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you had end

P.S: I checked the directory structure of my old and new feature files and they are at the same level. Even this solution did not work for me: Cucumber: undefined step, although step should be defined

Answer 1

Based on the step matcher regex, I'd expect the step to match with double-quotes around the step:

Given entity URI "<Entity Resource URI>"

Answer 2

Check with the folder structure it should be like below
Create project folder
 >Create features folder
  >Create step definitions folder
    >Save .rb files here
  >Save .feature files here.

Step definition folder and .feature files should be in the feature file.

Even i faced the same issue like you.The folder structure solved my problem.
