I am bit new to Cucumber / Maven, so require help on running test cases. I have developed an automation suite in eclipse using Cucumber and Selenium. To run specific feature files / Junit runner class, I right-click on the files in Eclipse and run it.
But how do I run it through command prompt or Jenkins by giving specific commands to run 2-3 feature files (or) 2-3 Junit runner classes out of say 50 feature files or JUnit classes?
Below is the package explorer of how I have structured in Eclipse.
Below is the POM.xml

Run Cucumber Test from Command Line / Terminal. There are different ways to run Cucumber Test from command line. Tests can be run by using JUnit and Maven as well. But maven is the most suggested way and has extra benefits to it. This is why we started this Project as Maven project.
1. Open the command prompt and cd until the project root directory. 2. First, let’s run all the Cucumber Scenarios from the command prompt. Since it’s a Maven project and we have added Cucumber in test scope dependency and all features are also added in src/test packages, run the following command in the command prompt: mvn test
Here’s how: First, create a Class that ends with Test in name. For example, CucumberTest.java. I noticed that if your class name doesn’t end with Test, maven doesn’t call that Class. Next, add a @RunWith annotation in your class and put Cucumber.class inside. It defines how JUnit can run your class.
Add dependency for Cucumber-Java − This will indicate Maven, which Cucumber files are to be downloaded from the central repository to the local repository. Create one more dependency tag. Provide the following information within the dependency tag.
You can run a single feature file by using cucumber.options which will override all the options you have in the @CucumberOptions annotation:
mvn test -Dcucumber.options="src/test/features/com/perspecsys/salesforce/featurefiles/Account.feature"
EDIT (Jun 2021):
Subsequent versions removed the cucumber.options construct and replaced it. One way to achieve the same result now is through the use of tags. Place a tag on top of your feature file (example @feature_file_name) and then run the following command:
mvn test -Dcucumber.filter.tags='@feature_file_name'
You can run a single feature file by using cucumber.options
mvn test -Dcucumber.options="--tags @TestTag"
