Is anyone currently using <https://github.com/kotest/kotest-extensions-gherkin>  with success? I'm getting an error when trying to run my skeleton test but since there are no docs I'm not sure if im doing it correctly.

Stack trace: <https://pastebin.com/29Mekv26>

Test:

```package glimpse.e2e

import io.kotest.core.spec.style.FreeSpec
import io.kotest.extensions.gherkin.GherkinExtension
import io.kotest.matchers.booleans.shouldBeTrue

class HelloWorld : FreeSpec({
    extension(GherkinExtension("HelloWorld.feature"))

    "its alive" - {
        "A" - {
            "B" {
                true.shouldBeTrue()
            }
        }
    }
})```

I am using it successfully. Let me check your stacktrace

does it matter what kotest version i'm using (currently on 4.6.0)?

It doesn't. Could you show me the classpath? How are your resources organized?

2 mo i was trying to follow the cucumber guide so will need to roll back some changes

I'd just like to make sure that "HelloWorld.feature" is at the path we expect it to be

It should be directly under `resources` directory from your test source set. You can also provide relative path

its in `src/test/kotlin/resources/HelloWorld.feature`

If having files from outside your project (eg. via absolute path) is something you need, we would need to tweak the extension a little bit, as currently it reads from classpath

Well, it seems correct. Let me check some more th ings

having them inside the resources folder works fine for us ... we're creating a project just for e2e tests so hoping to not be pulling in / minimizing external dependencies

The big deal here is line 30 from `GherkinExtension`:
`javaClass.classLoader.getResourceAsStream(featureFilePath)!!.bufferedReader().readText()`
Could you check if youcan load the file this way?

Just for testing, could you place your file in `src/main/resources`? I'm trying to check something with the classpath

doesn't work in `src/main/kotlin/resources` though

You can't put resources inside the Kotlin folder and then use /

They should be in src/mainortest/language

Great! If any more problems come up, feel free to ping me :smile:

while you here ... should an earlier fail stop subsequent test from running? I.e. something like this

Not at the moment, no. The extension currently only verifies if all test names are present in your file
