How to Fail a step in cucumber?

[Ravindra Lb]

Hello everyone,

I'm fairly new to Cucumber implementation for Selenium. I am trying to find a solution to mark a cucumber step as "failed" so it shows up on the cucumber extent report plugin that i am using.

Currently, the report fails only on assertion (junit) errors/exceptions and skips the rest of the steps under a feature scenario.

Please suggest. Thanks!

A cucumber scenario should fail for one of the following reasons

1. An exception, or error was thrown

2. An assertion failed

If you want to fail a scenario, throw an exception. But why would you want to do this if your scenario is working?

All best

Andrew

Andrew,

He asks how to fail a step and, I assume, for the scenario to continue.

@Ravindra, there is no good reason to continue a scenario if a step failed. If you want to assert each and every step in a scenarion, write seperate scenario's for each step.

Cucumber approaches a scenario as a whole, all steps are part of the test so if one fails, the entire test fails.

Hope this helps.

Gr,

Koen
