Specify the feature file location in cucumber

Question

I have created some cucumber test steps and a small Cucumber test case, which I run with JUnit like so:

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)

public class FuelCarTest {
    //executs cucumber steps in the class FuelCarSteps
}

The Cucumber features files are now automatically loaded from the classpath location, src/main/resources/<package-name>/*.feature

I could like to know how I can tell cucumber the location of my feature files, because I need it to load them from a location outside the classpath (e.g. data//).

Solution 1

I found the solution,

there is the @Cucumber.Options annotation, among setting the report output format and location, it also allows setting the location for the feature files.

@Cucumber.Options(
    format = {
        "pretty",
        "html:target/cucumber-html-report",
        "json-pretty:target/cucumber- report.json"
    },
    features="features/"
)

Solution 2

I have placed all feature files in test/resources/features and added my feature file location with class path. Here is my cucumber run file.

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(
    monochrome = true,
    features = "classpath:features",
    plugin = {"pretty", "html:target/cucumber-reports",
    "json:target/cucumber.json"
             }

)
public class MyTests 
{

}

This will pick all feature files inside the folder features. If you want to have a subfolders you can add that too by just replacing the line as shown below.

features = "classpath:features/DEV"

If only one particular feature file, it should be like this

features = "classpath:features/DEV/SmokeTests.feature"

Do you have an idea on how to specify the feature files to run from maven command line? I'm unable to find any docs for this...

@EldadAK -D"cucumber.options=/features"

The classpath option was one that assisted me in a Maven multi module project. I ended up finding this detail (as well as other location options) in the CLI interface documentation.

@MajidRoustaei Spent a few minutes trying to find the equivalent docs with no success I'm afraid.
