Answer 1

First check if there is any extra space ? Or just know if there is semicolon or something as such. If no then try to check if the Jar files are properly configured. If everything is fine, then make sure your feature file is written as shown below and the step definitions are implemented.

Feature: Reset functionality on login page of Application

Scenario: Verification of Reset button

Given Open the Firefox and launch the application

When Enter the Username and Password

Then Reset the credential

I hope this helps :)
