How do I set the path to my Cucumber features using cucumber-junit?
Solution 1
Take a look at my question here:
You can specify a location on the classpath by setting the feature attribute in the options annotation like
@Cucumber.Options(features="src/test/resources")
Edit:
in new versions code is
@CucumberOptions(features="src/test/resources")
Solution 2
The classpath
option is not obvious in the Cucumber documentation (it is not in the JavaDoc either), I ended up inferring it from the CLI documentation (edit: link is dead, can't find an equivalent), which has other location options documented. See the List configuration options
section in the docs. It is also not obvious how to get the feature defintions from another module of a multi module Maven projectg.
This is what got me going (running from IDE and command line) in a Maven multi module project.
@CucumberOptions(
features = {"classpath:product"},
//...
)
public class RunCukesTest extends AbstractTestNGSpringContextTests {
where my feature files were located in
main-project
sub-module-1
src/test/java/com/foo/
RunCukesTest.java
src/test/resources/product/
feature_1.feature
feature_2.feature
sub-module-2
...
It pleases me not to see src/test/resources
in the path. Note that there is no leading /
in the path. Using the classpath is less brittle, because the classpath (rather than the current working directory) must be well defined.
Solution 3
You can use
@CucumberOptions(
format = "pretty",
tags = {"~@Ignore"},
features = "src/test/resources/com/" //refer to Feature file
)
for scan all of feature file in package
Solution 4
Ok, I can only put this on monday morning... The directory layout I used wasn't correct, I forgot to put the cucumber features into subdirectories matching my package structure.
Make sure you create the needed package directories also in src/test/resources/
!
Solution 5
Once you use
import cucumber.api.CucumberOptions;
You will need to add the following to your pom.xml, otherwise "mvn test" will not work. And you can only run your tests from the IDE. See: https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-java-skeleton/blob/master/pom.xml
<properties>
<java.version>1.7</java.version>
<junit.version>4.12</junit.version>
<cucumber.version>1.2.2</cucumber.version>
<maven.compiler.version>3.3</maven.compiler.version>
</properties>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${maven.compiler.version}</version>
<configuration>
<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
<source>${java.version}</source>
<target>${java.version}</target>
<compilerArgument>-Werror</compilerArgument>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

cringe almost 4 years
I try to build my first executable specifications with Java and Maven. I created a simple project with this structure:
specification |-src |-test |-java |-mypackage |-MyFeatureTest.java |-resources |-MyFeature.feature
In the junit test
MyFeatureTest.java
I have this:import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import cucumber.junit.Cucumber; @RunWith(Cucumber.class) public class HomepageTest { }
Now https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-jvm/wiki/IDE-support says that I should add the following line:
@Cucumber.Options(paths={"my/super.feature:34"})
I tried to modify that to
@Cucumber.Options(paths={"src/test/resources/"})
but the annotation
@Cucumber.Options
isn't available at all. Mypom.xml
has this dependencies:<dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> <version>4.10</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>info.cukes</groupId> <artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId> <version>1.0.0.RC20</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>info.cukes</groupId> <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId> <version>1.0.0.RC20</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency>
Am I missing something?
Update I was missing something: The cucumber feature file has to be in a subdirectory
src/test/resources/mypackage/
. Otherwise it won't be picked up by the junit test.I can run my feature tests when I put them in the same directory
src/main/test/
, so it's not a blocker for me. But I'd like to understand the whole setup. -
Cris Rockwell almost 9 yearsgood suggestion since @Cucumber.Options is deprecated from version 1.1.5 ... xebee.xebia.in/index.php/2014/07/31/…

Charlie Seligman almost 9 yearsThank you! Was trying @Cucumber.Options which is deprecated
-
Brenda Holloway almost 9 yearsAnother thanks for showing the new @CucumberOptions!

Nirmalya over 8 yearsHow a knowledgebase remains beneficial days after it is created! After about an year, I get stuck with cucumber-scala project of mine (why not enough documentations around?), search frantically and finally reach here to learn that 'Options' is replaced with 'CucumberOptions'! Great stuff. Thanks.

Martin Spamer almost 6 yearsThis is the correct solution, all the other answers specifying 'src/test/resources' are wrong in the sense, they are brittle will only ever run correctly within an IDE. The use of 'classpath:features' ensure this will work correctly when deployed to a CI build environment.

John Mercier over 4 yearsThanks for this solution! I suspect the accepted answer is not actually using the classpath at all. In my case we are packaging the tests in a spring-boot application. I'm hoping that using the classpath means the features can be packaged into the executable jar.
