Run JAVA+Cucumber+JUnit Maven project in command line

Question

I am with a small problem here: run this project using MAVEN and Cucumber.

I'm with the following structure in my MAVEN project:

```
br.com.home.cucumberProjectWithWS
                |--- src/tests/java
                |                             |--- com.home.Model (secret)
                |                             |--- com.home.Control (secret)
                |                             |--- com.home.View
                                               |                             |--- ... (secret)
                                               |                             |--- Runner.java
                |                             |--- com.home.javaStepsFolder
                |                                                             |--- MyTestsSteps.java
                |--- src/main/java
                |--- src/main/resources
                |--- src/tests/resources
                |--- featuresFolder
                |                             |--- FirstFeature.feature
                |                             |--- SecondFeature.feature
                |                             |--- ThirdFeature.feature
                |--- pom.xml
```

The Runner.java class is the following:

```
package br.com.home.runner;

import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

import cucumber.api.CucumberOptions;
import cucumber.api.junit.Cucumber;

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(monochrome = false, plugin = { "html:target/cucumber-html-report", "json:target/cucumber.json",
                               "pretty:target/cucumber-pretty.txt", "usage:target/cucumber-usage.json",
                               "junit:target/cucumber-results.xml" }, features = "featuresFolder", glue = { "br.com.home.javaStepsFolder" })
public class Runner {

}
```

The class MyTestsSteps.java is something like the following:

```
package br.com.home.runner;

import cucumber.api.*;

class MyTestsSteps{

                Scenario scenario;
                Controller controller = new Control();

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

                @When("^we do something$")
                public void doSomething(){
                               controller.doSomething();
                }

                @When("^we do something else$")
                public void doSomethingElse(){
                               controller.doSomethingElse();
                }

                @Then("^we expect \"([^\"]*)$")
                public void weExpectSomeResult(String result){
                               assertTrue(controller.getResultExpected().equals(result));
                }
}
```

And my `pom.xml` is the following:

                </build>

</project>
```

I try to run:

```
mvn clean test
```

And it does not works.

I want to run those tests using Maven and know if is possible set the sequence of execution of Cucumber Tests.

I have tried to define in @CucumberOptions features parameter, but it did not work!

```
features = "{featuresFolder/FirstFeature.feature, featuresFolder/SecondFeature.feature}"
```

and

```
features = {
                "featuresFolder/FirstFeature.feature", 
                "featuresFolder/SecondFeature.feature"
}
```

And tries to do (as recommended in other post here):

```
<includes>
                <exclude>**/*Runner.java</exclude>
</includes>
```

in pom.xml surefire-plugin configuration.

But it did not work too.

Someone could help me to run this project using MAVEN command line and Cucumber if possible.

I am using Windows 8.1! And the project will run in Linux in future.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I have solved the problem. I remove the surefire plugin, update my project and run: After I have restructured the project:

-- Features file should be on /src/resource/feature. -- Java file should be on /src/test/java and should have the name Steps.java. $ mvn clean install $ mvn -Dtest=RunnerTest test

Thanks for all.

Answer 2

Go to the path where your Pom.xml is situated. Then execute the command below.

Command to run maven, cucumber tests from command prompt.

mvn clean test -Dcucumber.options="path/to/feature-files --tags @Your_tag"
