How do I specify the step definition prototype name in Intellij Idea?


I write my cucumber scenario to include the following step:

And the frabjous bandersnatch whiffled "Callooh"

Type alt-enter, choose Create Step Definition, and it produces:

@And("^the frabjous bandersnatch whiffled \"([^\"]*)\"$")
public void the_frabjous_bandersnatch_whiffled(String arg1) throws Throwable {
    // Express the Regexp above with the code you wish you had
    throw new PendingException();
}

but our coding standards require camelCase for methods, so I have to manually change the_frabjous_bandersnatch_whiffled to theFrabjousBandersnatchWhiffled. Is there a setting somewhere that will tell Idea to use camel case instead of underscores in this situation?

Also, when it's offering possible classes into which to place my new stepdef, can I have it filter to only classes with names ending in "Steps"?


Solution

  • Probably way too late, but maybe still helpful:

    You can set the --snippets camelcase option in the Edit Configurations in intelliJ:

    Main menu Run -> Edit Configurations

    (I have prepared a screenshot to show this, but almighty Stackoverflow deems me unworthy of posting images, well thought out, indeed!)
