[JVM] Tests in error: 'java.lang.NoSuchMethodError...'

[Tatyana Shapiro]

Hi,

I have run my test in eclipse and got a new errort. Can you please give some points how to debug it?

Please use the same version for all cucumber-* libs as I have told you previously. Also: remove info.cukes:cucumber-jvm from your pom.

Can you put the output of `mvn dependency:tree` in a gist please? (https://gist.github.com)

We are getting the same thing and all our config seems OK. We have other projects running fine but this one is giving us a headache.

Our cukes related pom content:

(Currently using cucumber version 1.1.5, junit 4.11)

If you run `mvn dependency:tree` you'll probably see that you have an older junit on your classpath that is shadowing 4.11. Older versions don't have the createSuiteDescription method you're getting an error about.

Hi Aslak,

Thanks for the hint. That was the first thing that came to mind, but there's no junit 3.x creeping in the dependencies. I ran the build with mvn -X and the classpath of surefire only has 4.11 dependencies.

After wiping off my local m2 repo, I see that junit 3.8.1 is downloaded by a plugin, but I don't know how it's getting into the test build context.

For the record, the dep tree:

https://gist.github.com/maasg/2f2d486b78add30ac539

Any other hint? Or it *must* be a some junit 3.x sneaking into our build somehow??

Thanks,   Gerard. 

PS: Sorry for the piggy-back: Where can I find the release notes for a given release? I want to see what's in 1.1.8 to see how urgent we need to upgrade.

Not necessarily 3.x. Even 4.10 won't work. I patched JUnit to make it work with Cucumber-JVM:

https://github.com/junit-team/junit/pull/405

The fix went into the 4.11 release.

If you run with mvn -X you should see what's on the classpath.

Thanks,   Gerard.

Hi Aslak,

Thanks for the advice. Using it, we manage to find the issue. 

For future reference: It was a shaded jar (uberjar)  from a  home-cooked  spark assembly that had an older version of junit. Being a uber-jar, all dependencies are 'melted' so it didn't show in the classpath or dependency tree.  Note for future self: Beware of such uber-beasts.

-kr, Gerard.

Hi Aslak,

I am using junit-4.12.jar but still getting same error.

Could you please help?

[aslak hellesoy]

What's the output of `mvn dependency:tree`?
