Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by tracing how pytest-bdd discovers and parses .feature files, then determine where .feature.md handling belongs; done means MDG scenarios are accepted without breaking plain Gherkin support and are covered by tests.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
If I understand correctly:
- pytest-bdd uses the official gherkin parser for Python
- the official gherkin parser for Python supports MDG syntax (Markdown with Gherkin)
Describe the solution you'd like
That pytest-bdd supports MDG syntax (which uses the .feature.md extension)
Describe alternatives you've considered
Staying with the plain Gherkin .feature syntax. However the markdown focused workflows when using LLM coding assistants have an excellent match with markdown flavours. There is also excellent support for syntax highlighting, formatting, linting, LSP support and other features you get for free with the markdown ecosystem.
