Adds gauge_concepts_dir for defining concepts directory

[haroon-sheikh]

Fixes #2311

By default, gauge searches with both <project root> and gauge_specs_dir for searching and validating the concepts.

This change is adding a new gauge_concepts_dir property so that so we can limit the concepts validation to specific directories. If this isn't set, then current behaviour applies for backward compatibility.

httpUtils tests are currently failing on windows only due to changes in latest golang release 1.20.6. Possibly related to golang/go#61076

I guess we could temporarily lock at 1.20.5 so you can move forward?

[haroon-sheikh]

@chadlwilson I looked at pinning to 1.20.5 also but it was still failing. After reverting all of my changes and adding smaller bits I've found out its this test thats causing the panic 6fa7939 (#2379) - Removing it fixes the problem.

Any ideas what could be going wrong?

I am just curious the use case of this?

[haroon-sheikh]

Hi @cemerick1, as described in the issue. By default, gauge scans for concepts within the full project. This allows us to have a completely separate directory for concepts including outside of the project.

[cemerick1]

Thanks @haroon-sheikh for the quick response! Reason I ask is because we would like to limit or completely remove concept steps from appearing in our intellisense/code completion without losing the ability to use them as we are trying to keep it simple. Does this new feature grant us that ability?

[haroon-sheikh]

Yes I think so. If you set the gauge_concepts_dir property to some other directory other than specs/ then it shouldn't include them.

[cemerick1]

Good deal! We will give this a whirl on Monday and I will report my findings!

[haroon-sheikh]

Actually just thinking about it in detail, it will still show up suggestions for code completions as they're just steps for use in specs.

It might be worth trying it out anyways. Feel free to raise a separate issue if it doesn't work and we could explore options for you.

Appears it didn't work. I have submitted a new issue here #2383
