Answer 1

When you implemented your feature file, number of Arity with parameters are missing.

Say, your step is as below.

e.g.

in your step defination file, you can write as below

When I am at chennai today at restauran

and your impl looks like this

@When("I am at (.*) (today | tomorrow) at restaurant")

public void at(String cityName){

}

you can either add one more parameter

@When("I am at (.*) (today | tomorrow) at restaurant")

public void at(String cityName, String whenExactly){

}

or you can change your step defination impl like this

@When("I am at (.*) (?:today | tomorrow) at restaurant")

public void at(String cityName){

}

Hope that helps.
