Cucumber feather not working with relative path of property files

[Zishan Paya]

I have created a project in eclipse Kepler using cucumber, maven and junit runner. Also I am using log4j.properties file placed under config folder in my project. Log4j property configuration is defined as below in Base class.

PropertyConfigurator.configure("config/log4j.properties");

Profile.feature

Feature: This is a profile feature
  @Testing
  Scenario: this is the first scenario for Profile page
  Given I open Naukri app
  When I tap on "Profile Image"
  Then The toolbar shows "User Profile"

RunnerTest.java

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(
        format = { "pretty", "html:target/html/", "json:target/json/output.json"},  
        features = "src/test/features",
        glue = "com.stepsdefination",
        tags = {"@Testing"}
        )
public class RunnerTest {

}

Now When i run the Profile.feature file in eclipse it shows -

java.io.FileNotFoundException: config\log4j.properties (The system cannot find the path specified)

But when I directly run the RunnerTest.java file then it works perfect.

Why my feature file is not taking the relative path. It work when I hard code the file location like 'D:\Project\Workspace\DemoCucumer\config\log4j.properties'. It not possible to change the file path every-time when location is changed.

Project Structure:

DemoCucumber
>src\main\java
>src\test\java
>config > log4j.properties

I have installed and downloaded all plugin related to cucumber in eclipse.

Put everything in the same package. Then you won't need the features and glue attributes.

Move your features to src/test/resources/com/stepsdefination.

Move RunnerTest to the com.stepsdefination package.
