To link these external step definitions to RubyMine, add the corresponding gems to your RubyMine-Settings:

• Go to Settings (ctrl + alt + s)

You might have to restart RubyMine to see the expected result.

Now, RubyMine no longer complains about undefined step definitions and allows you to dig into the definition via ctrl + b or ctrl + click.
