How to validate invalid Cucumber/Gherkin .feature file in build?

If I create step in Cucumber .feature file that is not implemented I get snippet in logs.
But if I make error in .feature file like starting new line with "Andd" or with anything but keywords (given, when..) then I get error in IntelliJ "Unexpected element" which is underlined and that's great.
But despite that when I build project I get "success build".
Also when I go further and run Cucumber tests I get
"0 Scenarios, 0 Steps found." and no explanation why.
Is there any build parameter that can be added to mark such build unsuccessful?
Is there any way to point to such errors?
Edit: when running from cmd 'mvn test..' I get nice stack trace.
Problem is only when running in Intellij > Run/Debug Configuration.
Sample .run.xml that I am using:
<component name="ProjectRunConfigurationManager">
<configuration default="false" name="Feature: testFeed" type="CucumberJavaRunConfigurationType" factoryName="Cucumber java" nameIsGenerated="true">
<option name="CUCUMBER_CORE_VERSION" value="5" />
<option name="FILE_PATH" value="$PROJECT_DIR$/src/test/resources/features/testFeed.feature" />
<option name="GLUE" value="com.testing.stepdefiniton" />
<option name="MAIN_CLASS_NAME" value="io.cucumber.core.cli.Main" />
<module name="testing" />
<option name="PROGRAM_PARAMETERS" value=" --plugin org.jetbrains.plugins.cucumber.java.run.CucumberJvm5SMFormatter" />
<shortenClasspath name="NONE" />
<option name="SUGGESTED_NAME" value="Feature: testFeed" />
<option name="VM_PARAMETERS" value="-Dspring.profiles.active=local -Dcucumber.filter.tags="#test"" />
<option name="WORKING_DIRECTORY" value="$MODULE_WORKING_DIR$" />
<extension name="coverage">
<pattern>
<option name="PATTERN" value="io.cucumber.core.cli.*" />
<option name="ENABLED" value="true" />
</pattern>
</extension>
<method v="2">
<option name="Make" enabled="true" />
</method>
</configuration>
</component>

There are two parts to this question
You usage of IntelliJ (I can't help you with this)
Your usage of Cucumber (maybe I can help here)
Cucumber is telling you that it can't find any scenarios or any steps. Its not going to contribute until you can fix that. You need to either try running Cucumber from the command line, or configure IntelliJ correctly so it can find the features and steps when running cucumber.

How to make VS Code organize Java imports like IntelliJ

I'm using VS Code for Java development and working with other developers who use IntelliJ. I'd like to use the Organize Imports command (Shift+Alt+O) to clean up my imports, but I don't want to fight over import order with every commit. So I'd like to configure VS Code to organize the imports in the same order as IntelliJ's default. Does anybody have a configuration that would do this?
If this is not possible, is there a workspace configuration I can apply to both VS Code and IntelliJ so that the two IDEs will agree, even if they aren't agreeing on IntelliJ's default?

We were able to get it the almost identical with the following config tweaks.
VS Code:
{
"java.completion.importOrder": [
"",
"javax",
"java",
"#"
]
}
IntelliJ
The only difference from the IntelliJ default is a new line between import javax... and import java....

It's possible to get VS Code and IntelliJ to agree on a standard format, as long as that standard format:
Puts static imports at the top*
Separates all specific sections with empty lines
Puts everything not in its own specific section in a catch-all section at the end*
Never uses wildcard imports
Not actually true; static imports can be positioned in VS Code with '#', and everything else can be position in VS Code with ''.
IntelliJ's default settings don't work for this, but it is flexible enough to be reconfigured. Here are the files to add to a project to make just that project set up consistent rules for both IDEs (make sure they are not excluded in .gitignore).
Rule: The following groups separated by empty lines: Static imports, java.*, javax.*, everything else.
.vscode/settings.json:
{
"java.completion.importOrder": ["java", "javax"],
}
.idea/codeStyles/codeStyleConfig.xml:
<component name="ProjectCodeStyleConfiguration">
<state>
<option name="USE_PER_PROJECT_SETTINGS" value="true" />
</state>
</component>
.idea/codeStyles/Project.xml
<component name="ProjectCodeStyleConfiguration">
<code_scheme name="Project" version="173">
<JavaCodeStyleSettings>
<option name="CLASS_COUNT_TO_USE_IMPORT_ON_DEMAND" value="99" />
<option name="NAMES_COUNT_TO_USE_IMPORT_ON_DEMAND" value="99" />
<option name="IMPORT_LAYOUT_TABLE">

<package name="" withSubpackages="true" static="true" />
<emptyLine />
<package name="java" withSubpackages="true" static="false" />
<emptyLine />
<package name="javax" withSubpackages="true" static="false" />

Source control intellij code style settings

We have a project being managed by more than 20 developers and most of them use intellij.
I was wondering if we can source an xml file somehow so that every developer doesn't have to import code style settings manually.
How to properly import Java code style settings with IntelliJ?
This thread suggests that we have to manually import the xml file and only then we will see those settings will come into effect. Is there a setting that can import the code styles automatically?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project version="4">
<component name="ProjectCodeStyleSettingsManager">
<option name="PER_PROJECT_SETTINGS">
<value>
<option name="CLASS_COUNT_TO_USE_IMPORT_ON_DEMAND" value="99" />
<option name="NAMES_COUNT_TO_USE_IMPORT_ON_DEMAND" value="15" />
<option name="IMPORT_LAYOUT_TABLE">
<value>
<package name="" withSubpackages="true" static="true" />
<emptyLine />
<package name="java" withSubpackages="true" static="false" />
<emptyLine />
<package name="javax" withSubpackages="true" static="false" />
<emptyLine />
<package name="org" withSubpackages="true" static="false" />
<emptyLine />
<package name="com" withSubpackages="true" static="false" />
<emptyLine />
<package name="" withSubpackages="true" static="false" />
</value>
</option>
<codeStyleSettings language="JAVA">
<option name="KEEP_LINE_BREAKS" value="false" />
<option name="KEEP_FIRST_COLUMN_COMMENT" value="false" />
</codeStyleSettings>
</value>
</option>
<option name="USE_PER_PROJECT_SETTINGS" value="true" />
</component>
</project>
The above settings in .idea/codestyleSettings.xml did the trick.

How to properly import Java code style settings with IntelliJ?

I tried to import Google's Java code style with IntelliJ.
The style file contains the following configuration:
<code_scheme name="GoogleStyle">
<option name="JAVA_INDENT_OPTIONS">
<value>
<option name="INDENT_SIZE" value="2" />
<option name="CONTINUATION_INDENT_SIZE" value="4" />
<option name="TAB_SIZE" value="8" />
...
</value>
</option>
...
</code_scheme>
But after the import my settings still show
Tab size 4 (instead of 8)
Indent 4 (instead of 2)
Continuation indent 8 (instead of 4)
When I export that style scheme then in the output file the values are the same as in the original file:
<option name="INDENT_SIZE" value="2" />
<option name="CONTINUATION_INDENT_SIZE" value="4" />
<option name="TAB_SIZE" value="8" />
Steps I took to import the style:
Navigate to Settings -> Editor -> Code Style -> Java
Click Manage button next to Scheme dropdown -> Import... -> IntelliJ IDEA code style XML
From the Scheme dropdown select the new option (called "GoogleStyle")
Apply
I'm using IntelliJ IDEA Community 2016.2.2
The expected result is that when I import the style then created style scheme has indent size (etc) the same as specified in the code scheme file.
How can I do that?

EDITED
The file from Google uses an old (I suppose) key for filetype (java instead of Java). I have made the following changes and it works.
<ADDITIONAL_INDENT_OPTIONS fileType="JAVA">
<option name="INDENT_SIZE" value="2" />
<option name="CONTINUATION_INDENT_SIZE" value="4" />
<option name="TAB_SIZE" value="8" />
<option name="USE_TAB_CHARACTER" value="false" />
<option name="SMART_TABS" value="false" />
<option name="LABEL_INDENT_SIZE" value="0" />
<option name="LABEL_INDENT_ABSOLUTE" value="false" />
<option name="USE_RELATIVE_INDENTS" value="false" />
</ADDITIONAL_INDENT_OPTIONS>
I have made a fork of the GitHub repository with the file corrected (https://github.com/nhenneaux/styleguide/blob/gh-pages/intellij-java-google-style.xml).
The easiest way is to import the style file into ~/.IntelliJIdea2016.2/config/codestyles. Then you have to restart Intellij and go in the style settings to select GoogleStyle.

It seems that the format used in the configuration file differes from what IntelliJ (at least the version I'm using) expects.
I changed my code setting, exported them and looked for differences.
The ident setting were in the output file like so:
<code_scheme name="MyTestStyle">
...
<codeStyleSettings language="JAVA">
<indentOptions>
<option name="INDENT_SIZE" value="2" />
<option name="CONTINUATION_INDENT_SIZE" value="4" />
<option name="TAB_SIZE" value="8" />
</indentOptions>
</codeStyleSettings>
</code_scheme>
Importing this file worked as expected.

Multinesting Gradle Projects in IntelliJ Idea

I am using IntelliJ Idea 14.1.4 and Gradle, and I am trying to create sub projects and nested sub projects:
Project
|--Research
|--Development
|--Algorithms
The reason for this is that research algorithms are separate from the development implementation. They are written in different languages (Python vs. Java) and used by different programmers, however I still want to maintain one Gradle project, so eventually researchers would be able to use stable existing algorithms implementations when developing new ones.
My problem is that Idea doesn't recognize properly the Gradle structure of the second level Gradle sub project: Project is recognized well, Research and Development are recognized well, but the Algorithms sub project is not recognized:
The code inspection of the gradle.build file in Algorithms project is highlighted as a warning with a message that test cannot be applies to Groovy.lang.closure Note that below is the complete build.gradle:
test{
useTestNG()
testLogging.showStandardStreams = true
}
Also, when I try in Idea Run->Edit Configurations->Defaults->Gradle and trying to choose Gradle project, I see that in the pop-up menu Development and Research do appear as sub-projects of Project, but Algorithms appears as a stand alone project.
Making the project however does create all the binaries and manually running a test case also works well.
When I run Gradle for command line, it appears to be working well and recognizing all nested projects: All the code is being compiled and tests are being ran. So the question here is if there is an Idea issue here which is not working correctly with Gradle, or am I doing something wrong?
Code for build.gradle inside Project:
allprojects {
group 'com.project'
version 'v0.1'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
}
Code for settings.gradle inside Project
rootProject.name = 'Project'
include 'Development'
include 'Development:Algorithms'
include 'Research'
Code for build.gradle of Development sub-project:
subprojects {
apply plugin: 'java'
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies{
testCompile 'org.testng:testng:6.9.4'
}
}
Other code samples that I might be writing wrong (most of them are auto generated by Idea:

I would like to point the following:
All projects and sub-projects have the same group: com.project
In Algorithms.iml the original (auto generated) value of external.linked.project.id was :Algorithms. I have tried setting it to :Development:Algorithms to see if it will change anything. After each change I have ran rebuild.
In Algorithms.iml the original (auto generated) value of external.root.project.path was $MODULE_DIR$/... I have tried setting it to $MODULE_DIR$/../.. to see if it will change anything. After each change I have ran rebuild.
****************************Edit********************************
Further investigation shows an issue with the workspace.xml file:
There is a GradleLocalSettingsElement there that was automatically created, but appears to be wrong: There are two different entries: one for Development and Devlopment:Algorithms and onw for the rest, so I might have did something wrong when I created the project.
My question is if there is a reference for the structure of this file and specifically for the elements inserted by the Gradle plugin?
