cucumber-jvm programmatically access current execution context (feature, scenario and step names)

[The Trav]

So, I've got a scenario where, on failure of an assertion, I want to
save a screenshot.

I want this image to reside in something like target/feature/scenario/
step.png so that it's easy to look up

I would also prefer not to have to have the feature, scenario and step
name hard coded into the step files


Is there any way for me to ask cucumber what the currently executing
feature, scenario &/or step is?

Where would this screenshot be displayed? In a custom report? Something else?

Not yet. You can add a hook:

@cucumber.annotation.After
public void howDidItGo(ScenarioResult result) {
// currently only has getStatus() and isFailed()
}

We'll add more methods to this object to address needs like this. In
your case I'm considering adding:

void embed(byte[] data, String mimeType)

That would allow you to embed an image. It would end up in the
built-in HTML report. Would this solve your problem?

A custom report would probably be a superior option, however I'd
settle for just putting it in a filestore somewhere that the test
result consumers can go look at manually.

Before and After hooks are called between each scenario? I thought
they'd be per feature file or per run of feature files... Also I'm
using the JRuby step definitions, so would I need to find the ruby
hook?

I haven't played around with customising the report output at all yet,
so I'm not entirely sure how that method would work...
It seems like I'd just pass in the image bytes and "image/png" and
it'd appear under the normal report data?
If so then yes, that would work quite well

Yes: https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/wiki/Hooks

Then this should do it:

After do |scenarioResult|
puts "ZOMG #{scenarioResult}"
end

I have deliberately made it impossible. It creates a bidirectional coupling between gherkin and glue code (step definitions) which I consider harmful.

Most people asking for this seem to think it's needed for screenshots. It's not.

A Before hook can receive a Scenario object. Scenario provides a method to embed screenshots in the HTML report, without supplying a name.

See https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-jvm/issues/490

Does this help you achieve what you want or do you have a different reason for wanting to access the feature and scenario name (which, by the way, are not guaranteed to be unique).

We wanted this because during run time, we would be able to view Which Step/Sceanrio is getting executed. 

Thus it would be good to have this.

Why don't you use a formatter then?

i have defined following in build.xml, but when it execute the Scenario and steps are printed after all the test cases are exexuted on Console. 

In Previous version cucumber used to print each step once the execution of each step is completed.

        <arg value="--format"/>

            <arg value="pretty"/>

Any update on this?
