Issue Description

I write the feature file, but when I right click and select the generation of step definition nothing happens.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Right click and try to generate the step definition

Video presenting the error Project.zip

[SabotageAndi]

In the zip file is only a exe and not a video.

Please provide some screenshots about your issue.

[maysamms]

The exe is a video generated by screen2exe, follow the screenshot. In the image below, click the button to generate, but when I click do nothing. I have already tried to delete all the features of the project and recreate them, but that part still does not work

[maysamms]

This screen does not appear

[SabotageAndi]

About the exe: good to know. I simply don't execute exes that I get via GitHub issues from people I don't know. I am too much security paranoid to do that.

About your issue: From the screenshot it looks like, all your steps are already bound. So I think we don't open the dialog. If a step isn't bound, it would be displayed in violet.

[maysamms]

Creating new scenarios that has no links, it did not open the dialog screen. I was able to open it, but I had to return the extension of the VS to 2017.1.13... Tks
