Thanks, @devalex88!
The add-on in Jira now seems to work basically (I haven’t tested the connection from Katalon Studio yet). However, we still see three problems with it that need to be solved so that it can be accepted unconditionally and used productively:
- Since the Katalon field only appears in the Jira overlay for editing the issue, it is much too narrow to display even ASCII tables correctly, i.e., without annoying line breaks.
- In addition, there is apparently no prettify function available, as is the case when editing feature files directly in Katalon Studio, in order to correctly align the instructions (especially tables, again) without much effort.
- The syntax highlighting obviously only works with English Cucumber keywords, at least not when using the switch “#language: de” with German keywords. (By the way, the same applies to the display of feature files in Katalon Studio itself. I.e. Cucumber scenarios in German language are executed correctly, but even there neither the German keywords nor the successful matching of the instructions with already existing functions in the script files are correctly highlighted, i.e., even no “glueing” can be seen there.)
I’m afraid that without significant improvements in these three points, we won’t be able to successfully establish this add-on for wide use in our company.
