[Question]: Ctrl+Click goes to wrong step when two steps share a prefix

[NikkTod]

Question

Hey @vitalets hope you can help me with that issue below:

Problem summary

I have two steps where one is a prefix of the other:

And I click on "X"
And I click on "X" for table row with label "Y"

Step definitions (decorators):

@when('I click on {string}')

@when('I click on {string} for table row with label {string}')

Actual behavior

With default settings, Ctrl+Click on the long step in the .feature file jumps to the short step definition.

Expected behavior

Ctrl+Click on I click on "{string}" for table row with label "{string}" should navigate to its own definition, not the shorter one.

"cucumberautocomplete.syncfeatures": "src/**/*.feature",
    "cucumberautocomplete.strictGherkinCompletion": false,
    "cucumberautocomplete.strictGherkinValidation": false,
    "cucumberautocomplete.smartSnippets": true,
    "cucumberautocomplete.onTypeFormat": true,
    "editor.quickSuggestions": {
        "comments": false,
        "strings": true,
        "other": true
    },

I also tried pureTextSteps = true, but it did not help

Hi @NikkTod, I confirm the bug, re-checked on the regular (not decorator) steps.

Could you please open an issue in the Gherkin VSCode extension repo: https://github.com/alexkrechik/VSCucumberAutoComplete/issues?

As this behavior is managed by the extension, not by playwright-bdd.

Thanks @vitalets, will do!

@vitalets have you tried the official cucumber extension with decorator steps, will it work?
