Unable to run the feature file

[gaura...@gmail.com]

Hi All,

I am new to cucumber. I am trying to start a project using cucumber. When I run the .feature file, I am getting an error. I tried googling the issue but didn't get any thing.

Please find below the details :

Feature File :

Feature:Proof of concept that my framework works

  Scenario:My First Test

    Given I naviagted to the zoo website

    When I click on adoption link

    Then I check to see that no animals are available

Runner File :

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)

@CucumberOptions(

format={"pretty", "json:target/cucumber.json"},

features = {"src/cucumber/features"},

glue ={"stepDefinitions"}

)

public class CucumberRunner {

}

Error :

You are missing a dependency. Or something similar.

Please share how you try to invoke Cucumber. Which dependencies do you have?

Are you able to clone/download

https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-java-skeleton

and get it working?

Cheers,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I am not using the dependency mentioned by you. I have downloaded the Cucumber dependency from "http://cucumber.github.com/cucumber-eclipse/update-site".

I am running the feature file as "Cucumber Feature".

Thanks,

Gaurav Sharma

Hi,

AFAIK the cucumber-eclipse update site does only download the Eclipse plugin. You also have to download the Cucumber implementation and add it to your project in Eclipse. See https://cucumber.io/docs/reference/jvm, or start from https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-java-skeleton/ as Thomas suggested.
 

I am running the feature file as "Cucumber Feature".

Running the feature this way does not use the Runner File you mentioned. The Runner File would be used if you selected it and used the "Run as JUnit test" menu.

Regards
Björn

Hi All,

I tried all the possible ways I could search in google, but it is not
helping me.
Please help me in getting it run.

Your help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Have you ever used Eclipse before or is this your very first time with Java?

Do you know or have you ever used Maven? If yes, then add the cucumber-java dependency to your POM.

Do you know how to add a dependency to an Eclipse project? If so add the cucumber-java dependency to your Eclipse project.

A good starting point would be https://cucumber.io/docs/reference/jvm#java, 3rd result querying Google for "cucumber java startup"

Hi,

I am using Eclipse since last 3 years. I have extensively used it for
Selenium. Now I want to start with cucumber.
I am aware of maven n adding the dependency. I am doing it in my
office and due to firewall and other security reasons I am not able to
download maven plugin. That is why I am doing with normal project with
the help of jar files.

I have added all the jars but still getting the error. Not sure about
the error, so seeking for a help.

Thanks,
Gaurav Sharma

Can you give us a jar list of when you are using it with the latest jars?

Mustafa must be a colleague of yours since you are having the same
problem using exactly the same library versions. He never replied to
"you
forgot to upgrade gherkin to 2.12.2 and cucumber-jvm-deps to 1.0.5"
when he upgraded to the latest Cucumber-JVM.

using the same video. Rest I do not know about him.

1. cucumber-core-1.2.4
2. cucumber-html-0.2.3
3. cucumber-java-1.1.3
4. cucumber-junit-1.2.4
5. cucumber-jvm-deps-1.0.5

Good. You should be able to spot discrepancies in the Cucumber jar
versions, as well as with what I quoted in my pervious reply :-)

[Gaurav Sharma]

I used that version of gherkin also, but same result :)

...and what version of cucumber-java?

[Gaurav Sharma]

I have used both old and new versions :

Old :

1. cucumber-core-1.1.5
2. cucumber-html-0.2.3
3. cucumber-java-1.1.5
4. cucumber-junit-1.1.5
5. cucumber-jvm-deps-1.0.3
6. hamcrest-all-1.3
7. junit-4.11
8. selenium-server-standalone-2.42.0
9. gherkin-2.12.1

New :

1. cucumber-core-1.2.4
2. cucumber-html-0.2.3
3. cucumber-java-1.1.3
4. cucumber-junit-1.2.4
5. cucumber-jvm-deps-1.0.5
6. gherkin-2.9.3
7. hamcrest-all-1.1
8. junit-4.12
9. selenium-server-standalone-2.53.0

6. gherkin-2.9.3
7. hamcrest-all-1.1
8. junit-4.12
9. selenium-server-standalone-2.53.0

​So, in your opinion, cucumber-java-1.1.3 is newer than cucumber-java 1.1.5? 

It doesn't get much to understand cucumber-core, java, html and junit should all be at version 1.2.4​, I also believe you need cucumber-jvm-deps (1.0.5) and gherkin (2.12.2).

All the necessary and optional dependencies are listed here (https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/info/cukes/cucumber-jvm/1.2.4/cucumber-jvm-1.2.4.pom).

Selenium is a separate thing, I hardly believe you can get through with just the standalone server.

[Gaurav Sharma]

I was trying to give it a try with different version, that why the
cucumber java version got mixed.

I tried using the version mentioned by you and getting the below error :

Exception in thread "main" cucumber.runtime.CucumberException: No
backends were found. Please make sure you have a backend module on
your CLASSPATH.

Are you sure cucumber-java is in the classpath? That message means
exactly that you have no backend in the classpath, and cucumber-java
is one of them.

In case you don't have access to a computer outside work, where you
said you can't access maven repositories, this is the list of

​Who told you to use version 1.1.3? Both us told you to use 1.2.4 and you are still missing libraries.

This is plain Java programming man!

I am really sorry, I missed out that.

Have you got a default constructor? Can't help you with just the stack
