Webstorm doesn't recognize step definitions

I don’t really know if I should ask this here, but Webstorm doesn’t recoginize the step definitions of this plugin because the steps are given, when, then. Webstorm does recognize the official cucumber package’s Given, When an Then (capitalized). Webstorm recognizing step definitions is extremely helpful in preventing duplicate step definitions.

// Recognized (like the official cucumber package)
Given(`I am on the webpage`, () => {
  cy.visit(url);
});

// Not recognized (like this plugin)
given('I am on the webpage', () => {
  cy.visit(url);
});

I did find a workaround, but I’d rather not have people forget to include this:

// Just add this above the step definitions
const Given = given;
const When = when;
const Then = then;

Is there a way this could be solved without a workaround?

I will change my PR and check if the build works when I do the const Given = given stuff.

@vadimromanyak You can also use ticks:

Given(`user navigated to the Start page`, () => {});

If you check out the test steps I created (webstormSupport.steps.js) you can see I use either the ticks or /^…?/:

When(/^I write my steps using caps$/, () => {
  counter += 1;
});

By the way, we can’t really test Webstorm support itself I guess, only that the capitalized version is working correctly within the plugin.
