The problem is not with the converter, but with the StepCreator. The step creator uses the Class of the parameters instead of the Types.
I'm on version 3.8 but in the latest version the problem is still there : *https://github.com/jbehave/jbehave-core/blob/master/jbehave-core/src/main/java/org/jbehave/core/steps/StepCreator.java <https://github.com/jbehave/jbehave-core/blob/master/jbehave-core/src/main/java/org/jbehave/core/steps/StepCreator.java>* Line 805. It's a problem only for the MethodInvoker, I guess it's not a problem for other cases since for the other you use method.getGenericParameterTypes(); (line 108) Thanks for the quick answer 2014-09-30 13:39 GMT+02:00 Mauro Talevi <mauro.tal...@aquilonia.org>: > ParameterConverter#accept(Type) method supports generics. > > Which version of JBehave are you on? > > > > > On 30 Sep 2014, at 13:01, Matthieu Mestrez <mestrez.matth...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > > Hello, > > > > I've been trying to make use of a list of strings in a Meta in this > context : > > > > Scenario: 1.
