Undefined steps in cucumber

Question

After running my test, Cucumber says my step is undefined. Did I do something wrong?

Feature:

Then I should see Error message for "ORIGIN" zipcode with key <messageKey>

Step definition:

@Then("^I should see Error message for \"([^\"]*)\" zipcode with key ([^\\\"]*)$") public void i_should_see_Error_message_for_zipcode_with_key(String location, String messageKey)

Can you provide an example of a messageKey? Your regex match for it is pretty specific; either your format is that specific or you need to loosen it up a bit. — Mike Collins

Finally I have got the answer. Cucumber searches between feature files and step definitions character by character; so if you have too many steps sharing the same name and cucumber confuses which is which giving you "Undefined" steps with the following error, just change the name of your stepDefs. Error: "You can implement missing steps with the snippets below:"

if you have multiple steps with the same name then you will get DuplicateStepDefinitionException. I am quite sure above step in my answer was missing in your solution hence you got undefined step exception during runtime
