Reports are not generated when the build is failed in Maven Cucumber Reports

Question

Reports are generating successfully when the build is successful but when there are any failed cases which cause build failure, reports are not generated.

checkBuildResult is already set to false

pom file plugin

     <plugin>
        <groupId>net.masterthought</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-cucumber-reporting</artifactId>
        <version>3.13.0</version>
        <executions>
            <execution>
                <id>execution</id>
                <phase>verify</phase>
                <goals>
                    <goal>generate</goal>
                </goals>
                <configuration>
                    <projectName>Simplify360 Automation Test Report</projectName>
                    <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/site/cucumber-reports</outputDirectory>
                    <cucumberOutput>${project.build.directory}/cucumber.json</cucumberOutput>
                    <!-- <jsonFiles>
                        <param>${project.build.directory}/cucumber.json</param>
                    </jsonFiles> -->
                    <!-- <parallelTesting>false</parallelTesting> -->
                    <buildNumber>8.4.1.2</buildNumber>
                    <checkBuildResult>false</checkBuildResult>
                </configuration>
            </execution>
        </executions>
    </plugin>

And the runner class is as below,

  @RunWith(Cucumber.class)
    @CucumberOptions(
            features = {"classpath:features"},
            plugin = {"pretty","json:target/cucumber.json"},
            tags = {"@currentTest"},
            glue={"helpers","stepDefinitions"},
            monochrome = true
            )
    public class RunCukesTest{

    }

Answer 1

Add the following configuration to the sure fire plugin. It will not stop the maven execution after the failure. Then it will generate the report.

<testFailureIgnore>true</testFailureIgnore>

as given below with your existing configuration.

<plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>2.20</version>
      <configuration>
        <testFailureIgnore>true</testFailureIgnore>
     </configuration>
</plugin>

Answer 2

There is flag present for same which is as below:

<checkBuildResult>true</checkBuildResult>

<!-- Set true to fail build on test failures -->
<!-- Set false to pass build on test failures -->

You need to set in the configuration tag as below:

 <configuration>
        <projectName>oasys-confirmations</projectName>
        <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}</outputDirectory>
       <cucumberOutput>${project.build.directory}/cucumber.json</cucumberOutput>
       <checkBuildResult>true</checkBuildResult>
</configuration>

New config:

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.19.1</version>
                <configuration>
                    <testFailureIgnore>true</testFailureIgnore>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>net.masterthought</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-cucumber-reporting</artifactId>
                <version>3.20.0</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>execution</id>
                        <phase>verify</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>generate</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <projectName>cucumber-jvm-example</projectName>
                            <!-- output directory for the generated report -->
                            <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}</outputDirectory>
                            <!-- optional, defaults to outputDirectory if not specified -->
                            <inputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/</inputDirectory>
                            <jsonFiles>
                                <!-- supports wildcard or name pattern -->
                                <param>**/*.json</param>
                            </jsonFiles>
                            <!-- optional, defaults to outputDirectory if not specified -->
                            <classificationDirectory>${project.build.directory}/</classificationDirectory>
                            <classificationFiles>
                                <!-- supports wildcard or name pattern -->
                                <param>sample.properties</param>
                                <param>other.properties</param>
                            </classificationFiles>
                            <parallelTesting>false</parallelTesting>
                            <checkBuildResult>true</checkBuildResult>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

Old Config working till 3.16.0 version:

                 <plugin>
                        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                        <version>2.19.1</version>
                        <configuration>
                            <testFailureIgnore>true</testFailureIgnore>
                        </configuration>
                    </plugin>
                    <plugin>
                        <groupId>net.masterthought</groupId>
                        <artifactId>maven-cucumber-reporting</artifactId>
                        <version>3.16.0</version>
                        <executions>
                            <execution>
                                <id>execution</id>
                                <phase>verify</phase>
                                <goals>
                                    <goal>generate</goal>
                                </goals>
                                <configuration>
                                    <projectName>>cucumber-jvm-example</projectName>
                                    <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}</outputDirectory>
                                    <cucumberOutput>${project.build.directory}/cucumber.json</cucumberOutput>
                                    <checkBuildResult>true</checkBuildResult>
                                </configuration>
                            </execution>
                        </executions>
                    </plugin>

NOTE If you get same problem After this configuration then
1. Run RunnerFile Normally TestNG
2. Run Pom.xml as Maven install. 3. Check target folder there is a TagName.html file open it and view the result.
