Cucumber with IntelliJ not finding step definitions

I encountered the following issue. I have four Cucumber feature files in IntelliJ. I added the Cucumber support via the IntelliJ plugin. After creating my features I edited my configuration like followed so i can execute the feature files.

This is how my configuration looks like Glue should be the name of the package the step definitions reside in. In my case the package is called stepdefinitions.

The following image shows what my project structure looks like. The feature files reside in /src/test/resource/features while the stepdefinitions are stored in /src/test/java/stepdefinitions. This is how my project structure looks like

Sadly when I try to run the cucumber features with the step definitions I get prompted "You can implement missing steps with the snippets below:" But I already did this. I already copied those snippets to the step definition files. When I hover a scenario IntelliJ tells me *Unimplemented Substep Definition".

Unimplemented Substep Defintion

Those two things lead me to the conclusion that IntelliJ does not find my step definitions. Maybe one of you knows what I am doing wrong.

Your Glue setting should point to the java classes, not your step defintions. – M.P. Korstanje

I finally found the solution to my question. The error was caused by a plugin called Substep IntelliJ Plugin. You need to search for it in the IntelliJ Plugin Section and disable or deinstall it.

Disable the Cucumber plugin to avoid collisions over feature file association, install the Substeps plugin. See http://substeps.github.io/ for more docs on how to use the Substeps BDD framework alongside downloading a sample starter project from here: https://github.com/Substeps/substeps-example/archive/1.1.zip
