IntelliJ Plugin
The SpecBinder IntelliJ plugin is the IDE companion to the SpecBinder annotation processor. It
provides full Gherkin language support for .feature and .specb files and ties spec files
tightly to the JUnit 5 test classes the processor generates from them — so navigation, running,
debugging, refactoring, and execution feedback all happen directly inside the spec.
The plugin is optional: your tests are generated by the SpecBinder with or without it.
Installing
Install it from the JetBrains Marketplace — in the IDE, open Settings → Plugins → Marketplace, search for SpecBinder, click Install, and restart.
It needs IntelliJ IDEA 2024.2 or later, Community or Ultimate. The Java and JUnit features come along automatically when your project has the matching IntelliJ modules.
