[Cucumber-jvm] Clash between Cucumber Hook and TestNG Hook

[Wong Peter]

Hello to all, I have implement TestNG hook using @BeforeTest annotation and Cucumber hoo using @Before annotation but there is an error showing when running the code.

[Utils] [ERROR] [Error] java.lang.NullPointerException

at Runner.TestRunner.features(TestRunner.java:105)

FAILED CONFIGURATION: @BeforeTest setUp

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: io/cucumber/tagexpressions/TagExpressionParser

at cucumber.runtime.TagPredicate.<init>(TagPredicate.java:23)

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: io.cucumber.tagexpressions.TagExpressionParser

FAILED CONFIGURATION: @AfterTest tearDown

java.lang.NullPointerException

at Runner.TestRunner.tearDown(TestRunner.java:110)

Login.java

public class Login {

private PropertiesManager pm;

private ExtentReportManager reportMgr;

public Login() {

}

/*@Before("@p")

public void setUp() {

pm = PropertiesManager.createInstance();

reportMgr = ExtentReportManager.createInstance();

}*/
}

TestRunner.java

@CucumberOptions(

        features = "src/Feature",

        glue = {"Step_Definitions"},

        plugin = {

                "pretty",

                "html:target/cucumber-reports/cucumber-pretty",

                "json:target/cucumber-reports/CucumberTestReport.json",

                "rerun:target/cucumber-reports/rerun.txt"

})

public class TestRunner {

    private TestNGCucumberRunner testNGCucumberRunner;

    private ExtentReportManager reportMgr;

    private PropertiesManager pm;

    

    @BeforeTest(alwaysRun = true)

    public void setUp() throws Exception {

        testNGCucumberRunner = new TestNGCucumberRunner(this.getClass());

        

        pm = PropertiesManager.createInstance();

        reportMgr = ExtentReportManager.createInstance();

        

        WebDriverManager.createDriver();

    }

 

    @Test(groups = "cucumber", description = "Runs Cucumber Feature", dataProvider = "dataProvider")

    public void feature(CucumberFeatureWrapper cucumberFeature) {

        testNGCucumberRunner.runCucumber(cucumberFeature.getCucumberFeature());

    }
}

Why there is clash between Cucumber hook and TestNG hook? How to solve it? Thanks.
