Running cucumber tests from external jar

Hello!
I'm trying to package my cucumber tests and run them using a small java program. I annotate the test class with `@CucumberOptions` and i run the class using JUnitCore. It works pretty well, but only with specific configurations:

 

  • If the feature is either "classpath:file.feature" or under a folder such as "somefolder/file.feature". It doesn't work if i put the feature file in the root or in a resource folder
  • If the step definitions class has a package anypackage in the start. This doesn't work when there's no package.

I've attached the runner class that works as a sample. I use a custom tool to report my tests to an external platform.

I want to make it work regardless of how we define the feature and glue in the runnable class. Anyone has any idea how?

    two steps, you should be able to execute Cucumber from your own executable jar wherever you are able to execute a jar at all. Notice that you are mixing library version for Cucumber in your pom. I would use the latest version of all libraries. Compare cucumber-java , cucumber-testng and cucumber-junit.

      About the first part, what do you mean that the jar should be executable? I am running the test class using JUnitCore class, not with CLI.

      About the second part, I am using build.gradle and all the latest dependencies for all (or what was the latest). Here's the depedencies i use in my runner program:

       

      dependencies {
          // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.testng/testng
      //    implementation group: 'org.testng', name: 'testng', version: '7.3.0'

          implementation group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.12'
          compile group: 'org.testng', name: 'testng', version: '7.3.0'
          // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.junit.jupiter/junit-jupiter-engine
          implementation group: 'io.cucumber', name: 'cucumber-java', version: '6.10.0'
          implementation group: 'io.cucumber', name: 'cucumber-junit', version: '6.10.0'
          implementation group: 'io.cucumber', name: 'cucumber-testng', version: '6.10.0'
          // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.junit.platform/junit-platform-launcher
          implementation group: 'org.junit.platform', name: 'junit-platform-launcher', version: '1.7.0'
      }
