java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: cucumber.runtime.RuntimeOptions.getJunitOptions()Ljava/util/List;

Question

I am trying to run a simple cucumber feature test. Below is my junit runner file &POM.xml file. When I try to run feature file individually, it runs and doesn't throw error. But when run using runner file, i get the below mentioned error :

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: cucumber.runtime.RuntimeOptions.getJunitOptions()Ljava/util/List;

    at cucumber.api.junit.Cucumber.<init>(Cucumber.java:61)

    at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Constructor.java:488)

I am using same version dependencies: cucumber-junit cucumber-jvm 1.2.5

Runner file

  package runner;


import cucumber.api.CucumberOptions;
import cucumber.api.junit.Cucumber;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)

@CucumberOptions(
        features = {"src/test/java/Featurefile/"},
        glue = {"Steps"},
        monochrome = true,
        tags = {},
        plugin = {"pretty", "html:target/cucumber", "json:target/cucumber.json",
                "com.cucumber.listener.ExtentCucumberFormatter: target/report.html"}

)

public class MainRunner {
}

Can you please suggest where I am making mistake on configuration

Answer 1

The fix for your pom.xml would be to change the version number from 1.2.4 to 1.2.5.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
        <artifactId>cucumber-core</artifactId>
        <version>1.2.5</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
        <artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId>
        <version>1.2.5</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

The version should be in sync for your dependencies

info.cukes:cucumber-jvm:pom:1.2.5:compile
info.cukes:cucumber-junit:jar:1.2.5:test
info.cukes:cucumber-core:jar:1.2.5:test
info.cukes:cucumber-java:jar:1.2.5:test
info.cukes:cucumber-picocontainer:jar:1.2.5:compile
info.cukes:cucumber-testng:jar:1.2.5:compile

It's worth to define a property for it

<properties>
    <cucumber.version>1.2.5</cucumber.version>
</properties>

and use it for all related dependencies like

<dependency>
    <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
    <artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId>
    <version>${cucumber.version}</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

You might also check to use a more recent Cucumber version (the group id has changed and is now io.cucumber).

edit: The dependency cucumber-core and cucumber-java are defined twice. Remove the ones at the end of your pom.xml.
