Getting Parser Error: inconsistent cell count within the table - while running tests in Parallel - Selenium Cucumber Maven framework with Junit

Question

I have configured Selenium-cucumber maven framework with Junit. After adding the cucumber-jvm-parallel plugin & maven-surefire plugin , commented the statements inside @CucumberOptions which we have written inside TestRunnerTest.java file .After configuring like this, run through CLI . Then my test script fails. But Runners are created automatically for the feature file.

POM file is shown below :

            monochrome = true

public class TestRunnerTest {
    public static WebDriver driver;
public static String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss a").format(new Date());
public static String browserName;
    private static TestRunnerTest sharedInstance = new TestRunnerTest();

            driver=new ChromeDriver(); 
        } 
        else if (browserName.equalsIgnoreCase("Firefox")) 
        {

             driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        } 

        else {

                    + "browser name not mentioned properly");
            System.exit(0);
        }      
           driver.manage().window().maximize();
          // driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
 driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);   

    }
@AfterClass
    public static void after() {


     Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread()
        {
              public void run()
              {         
                try {
                     Reporter.loadXMLConfig(new File("config/report.xml"));
                    Files.move(Paths.get("target/cucumber-reports"), Paths.get("target/cucumber-reports_ "+ 
                LocalDateTime.now().format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("L-d-YYYY h-m-s")) + "_" + browserName), 
                            StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();

                }
              }


            });

    if(driver!=null) 
    driver.quit();
 }
}

Run this in CLI mvn test. Then getting the below error:

I don't know where I am wrong. It would be a great help if you guys helped me. Could you please help me guys. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

That happens because some of all the features of the Scenario Outline the Examples table is not complete

for example

Examples:
| user | password | rememberAccount |
| user01 |

absolutely all pipelines ( | ) must be completed:

Examples:
| user | password | rememberAccount |
| user01 | | |
