I have installed the cucumber-java and gherkin plugins in IntelliJ IDEA but when I create a .feature file it is not recognized as a feature file. I did restart IntelliJ and
For me it was even worse. The .feature extension was assigned to text. Which was odd as previously created .feature files remained real feature files. Yet newly created feature files were seen as plain text. So do check all relevant file types as intelIj does strange things with this.
