[sijakret]

[faaadly]

same issue, is there any update for the fix guys?

[selfrefactor]

uninstall the extension and subscribe to this topic - what else?

[sijakret]

anyone have an idea how we can raise awareness for this?
I mean the extension is 100% dead at this point, isn't it?

To whom it may concern,

The extension is completely broken for me right now. Please provide:

• Acknowledgment of the issue.
• Status of the analysis and correction effort.

Thanks!

This has already been reported in Issue #155. @xeger has created a patched (hacked) version here: https://github.com/xeger/cucumber-vscode/releases/tag/v1.7.1 that fixes the problem, but it won't be released; you must download it and install it locally if you want to test it.

He considers this to be a hack because the real problem is in the tree-sitter code; it doesn't play well with Electron 22 and the latest version of V8. Once a new tree-sitter is released that fixes the problem we won't need the hack. The tree-sitter problem has been discussed extensively and there is an open PR that appears to fix it:
tree-sitter/node-tree-sitter#126
tree-sitter/node-tree-sitter#127

Thank you for the patch. It fixed the problem, and it connects to the server now. Also, I added the Cucumber (Gherkin) full support. For assertions, I am using TestNG.

Wondering how come it showing "Build: Passing" when installing Extension

Any updates on this? We need this for some critical delivery!

Any update on this team? We're depending on this with critical delivery.

@logesh-jarvis @gopi2603 The best we can offer at the moment is the temporary fix that Xeger has provided.

The best place to post questions like this is in the tree-sitter project; a proper fix is entirely dependent on a new release of tree-sitter (or maybe Web Tree-sitter).
