Specflow - Scenario Outline tests are being ignored

Question

I'm developing test automation with Selenium and Specflow, but when I try to run my Scenario Outline, it is completely ignored.

I've already tried to debug it and none of the steps is executed and I have no idea why.
Common Scenarios work just fine.

I'm using .NET Core 2.2 in Visual Studio Code. My current test Runner is NUnit version 3.12.0 and and my Specflow version is 3.0.225.
Regular Scenarios haven't shown any problem like this.

@FilterScenario
Scenario Outline: Validating filter box and grid results
    Given I accessed the screen
    And the filter box is on
    When I select the groups <TypeGroup1>, <TypeGroup2>, <TypeGroup3>
    And select the teams <TypeTeam1>, <TypeTeam2>, <TypeTeam3>
    And click the Apply button
    Then the grid should show me only results that match groups <TypeGroup1>, <TypeGroup2>, <TypeGroup3> and teams <TypeTeam1>, <TypeTeam2>, <TypeTeam3>

    Examples:
    | TypeGroup1 | TypeGroup2 | TypeGroup3 | TypeTeam1  | TypeTeam2  | TypeTeam3  |
    | Type 1     |            |            | Type 1     |            |            | 
    | Type 1     | Type 2     | Type 3     | Type 1     | Type 2     | Type 3     |
    |            |            |            | Type 1     |            |            |

Packages included on my project:

    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration" Version="3.0.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Newtonsoft.Json" Version="12.0.2" />
    <PackageReference Include="nunit" Version="3.12.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="NUnit3TestAdapter" Version="3.13.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk" Version="16.2.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Selenium.Support" Version="3.141.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Selenium.WebDriver" Version="3.141.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Specflow" Version="3.0.225" />
    <PackageReference Include="Specflow.Assist.Dynamic" Version="1.4.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="Specflow.NUnit" Version="3.0.225" />
    <PackageReference Include="SpecFlow.Tools.MsBuild.Generation" Version="3.0.225" />

Which unit test provider are you using? Which version of the SpecFlow NuGet package are you using? If you change a regular Scenario do you see that change when running that test? — Greg Burghardt
I'm using NUnit version 3.12.0, and my Specflow version is 3.0.225. And yes I do, regular Scenarios haven't shown any problem like this. — Fabiana
Can you add this info to your question? It is too easily missed when put in comments. — Greg Burghardt
Sure! Just did it :) I added the packages to the question also. — Fabiana

There are problems in your feature file.

@FilterScenario
Scenario Outline: Validating filter box and grid results
    Given I accessed the screen
    And the filter box is on
    When I select the groups '<TypeGroup1>', '<TypeGroup2>', '<TypeGroup3>'
    And select the teams '<TypeTeam1>', '<TypeTeam2>', '<TypeTeam3>'
    And click the Apply button
    Then the grid should show me only results that match groups '<TypeGroup1>', '<TypeGroup2>', '<TypeGroup3>' and teams '<TypeTeam1>', '<TypeTeam2>', '<TypeTeam3>'

    Examples:
    | TypeGroup1 | TypeGroup2 | TypeGroup3 | TypeTeam1  | TypeTeam2  | TypeTeam3  |
    | Type 1     |            |            | Type 1     |            |            | 
    | Type 1     | Type 2     | Type 3     | Type 1     | Type 2     | Type 3     |
    |            |            |            | Type 1     |            |            |

Regenerate the stepdefs and try again
