Uninstall the older version of cucumber-eclipse plugin :

  • To use the latest features of this plugin you must have to uninstall the older version of cucumber-eclipse plugin for your Eclipse.
  • To uninstall cucumber-eclipse feature , Open Eclipse-IDE, Close all feature files opened in editor. -- Run Help > About Eclipse > Installation Details, -- Select the Cucumber Eclipse Feature -- Click Delete.
  • If any multiple Cucumber Eclipse Features with different versions available also Uninstall all.
  • As there is no mechanism within Eclipse to permanently and physically uninstall a feature and its plug-ins, you will have to manually remove the files associated with the cucumber-eclipse features and plugin when Eclipse is not running.

Warning Note: Be very cautious as to which files you delete, and always have a backup of your Eclipse directory. If you remove the wrong files from these directories, you may have quite some trouble restoring your Eclipse to a stable state. Therefore, unless your hard disk storage capacity is extraordinarily limited, it is recommended that you simply leave the physical files in place.

  • From your eclipse/features directory: -- Delete if any existing cucumber-eclipse feature directory named as cucumber.eclipse.feature_.

  • From your eclipse/plugins directory, Delete the cucumber-eclipse plug-in jars named as: -- cucumber.eclipse.editor_.jar, -- cucumber.eclipse.steps.integration_.jar, -- cucumber.eclipse.steps.jdt_.jar

  • Remove existing cucumber-eclipse plugin site url : -- Run Window > Preferences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites, -- Select name/location of Cucumber-Plugin and Click Remove,

  • Click Ok.

  • Now Restart your eclipse.
