How to get name of scenario in cucumber java?

Question

I would like to get name of scenario to have meaningful logs and to generate custom report at run-time in java. Scenario class have only has getStatus() and getSourceTagNames() methods. I don't find a way to get scenario name.

Can someone help me to get this resolved ?

Answer 1

From version 1.6, in addition to, getStatus() and getSourceTagNames(), there is another method, getName() that returns the scenario's description. For example, for a scenario as follows:

Scenario: verify number of topics shown in the UI 

scenario.getName() returns "verify number of topics shown in the UI"

I initialize scenario in @Before as follows:

@Before public void before(Scenario scenario) {     this.scenario = scenario; } 

Hope this helps.

String scenarioName = scenario.getName(); String[] arrayScenarioName = scenarioName.split("--"); String scenarioName1 = arrayScenarioName[0];  String scenarioName2 = arrayScenarioName[1];  System.out.println("Scenario Name 1 for this test is -> " + scenarioName1); System.out.println("Scenario Name 2 for this test is -> " + scenarioName2);  String scenarioId = scenario.getId(); //Takes the Scenario ID and removes the ; and splits it into 2 strings String scenarioId4 = scenarioId; String[] parts = scenarioId4.split(";"); String part1 = parts[0];  String part2 = parts[1];  String part11 = part1.replace('-', ' '); String part22 = part2.replace('-', ' '); System.out.println("Scenario ID for this test is -> part11 " + part11); System.out.println("Scenario ID for this test is -> part22 " + part22); 

Once you have the @Before set up them try this to retrieve your Cucumber Feature and Scenario items.
