Escape forward slash in Java

[Pancor]

Hi, I have a case that I want to use Cucumber Expressions so @ParamterType will be resolved and also / (forward slash) will be interpreted as just a character. When I try to escape / like this: \/ then Java compiler doesn't like it and says java: illegal escape character. Example of what I want to achieve:

@Then("endpoint\/path has {status} status")

Then endpoint/path has accepted status

Is there a way to achieve it?

The way to escape a \ in a string in Java is to use \\.

So you would write your cucumber expression string as "endpoint\\/path has {status} status".
