Have you packaged cucumber-jvm and your own classes and features inside that jar? Where are your feature files?

 

but I got

Yes I have packaged all classes into an executable jar file using maven

<plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>

<executions>

<execution> <id>package-jar-with-dependencies</id>

<phase>package</phase> 

<goals> 

<goal>single</goal> 

</goals>

<configuration> 

<appendAssemblyId>false</appendAssemblyId>

<descriptorRefs>

<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>

</descriptorRefs> 

<archive> 

<manifest>

<mainClass>cucumber.cli.Main</mainClass> 

</manifest>

</archive> 

</configuration> 

</execution> 

</executions>

 </plugin>

My feature files are in a package in scr/test/resources/uk/co/tel/oop/feature

My RunTest class is in scr/test/java/uk/co/tel/oop

My step definition classes are in   scr/test/java/uk/co/tel/oop/projectStepDef 

I can run the test from command line using Maven on dev box. However, there is no internet connection on the test execution server, only way for me to execute is to package the classes into a Jar file, and then transfer this binary and execute from there

[aslak hellesoy]

Try this to learn about command line options:

  java - jar JarfileName.jar --help

Then try this:

  java - jar JarfileName.jar classpath:uk/co/tel/oop/feature

That should load the features, and report all steps as undefined since you still haven't told cucumber where stepdefs are. 

Now try this:

  java - jar JarfileName.jar --glue classpath:uk/co/tel/oop classpath:uk/co/tel/oop/feature

 

My RunTest class is in scr/test/java/uk/co/tel/oop

I'm assuming this is a @RunWith(Cucumber.class) annotated class. Using JUnit to run cucumber is another way to run cucumber, you don't use that when using the CLI directly.

Hope this helps,

Aslak

Hi, I have tried your suggestion and it didn't work

So I decided to investigate further and I found out I made a grave error - my source class were not included in Jar file when I extracted files from the jar

I know this is not a cucumber issue, but I applied the same Technic to package the jar as I had done on other project I had worked on in the past, the main and only difference is that I I don't have a main class in my project as I am using the main class from cucumber library (cucumber.cli.Main). So I need to added something else to my maven to copy the source files from my application path. But I am not having any luck with that

I am looking for answers on google, but haven't a suitable one that work for me.

What do you mean by "source class" and why does it have to be in the jar? 

[Ayoseg]

Sorry I meant to say files from my source folder directory. I need to the compiled classes and feature files in the jar file, do I not?

Ok I see what you mean.

Here is an example of how you can add additional resources (i.e. not in src/main/resources) to your jar:

Thanks for the  pointer. It helped in packaging the classes together, however I do have a problem getting the features to run.

java -jar myProject-1.0.jar -classpath uk/co/mycomp/bcp/features cucumber.cli.Main

I am getting no main manifest attribute in my jar file. I guess I have to have a line written as cucumber.cli.Main in my Manifest.MF file. I do not have that line in the file

I have this in my pom

<execution>
                        <id>package-jar-with-dependencies</id>
                        <phase>package</phase>
                        <goals>

                            <goal>shade</goal>

                                    <mainClass>cucumber.cli.Main</mainClass>
                                </manifest>
                            </archive>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>

[Ayoseg]

Nevermind, I got it to work

by using

<transformers>
                                <transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ManifestResourceTransformer">
                                    <mainClass>cucumber.cli.Main</mainClass>
                                </transformer>
  </transformers>

Hey, so sorry to dig up this extremely old thread.. but i can't find anything else on the web about this issue.  I'm trying to run my cucumber tests from an executable .jar as well.  I'm not very good with advanced POM configs, but could anyone please explain to me where im supposed to use the code below, and how this will help solve the problem?  I need to be able to package my project along with all dependencies, and be able to send the files off to a remote host to run without needing maven / all my project files.

<transformers>                      

<transformer implementation="org.apache.

maven.plugins.shade.resource.ManifestResourceTransformer">
          <mainClass>cucumber.cli.Main</mainClass>
</transformer> 

</transformers>
