Cucumber is not able to find stepDefinition class if its in different package

[Pankaj Tiwari]

Hi All,

I am creating a project into Selenium+BDD+Cucumber approach where i am facing an issue.

Issue is- if i keep my stepDefinition file in a separate package(for e.g. in "packageB") then cucumber is not able to find it while running the TestRunner class(for e.g: its in "package A") though its working fine if i keep stepdefinition and TestRunner class in same package(either in packageA or packageB).

Kindly see below screenshot for structure. 

Also i have tried option glue, but its also not working.

Whenever i am running my TestRunner class i am getting below error

Running Feature child (scenario)...

Begin scenario run...

Scenario completed...0

You can implement missing steps with the snippets below:

@Given("^User is on home page of the applicaton$")

public void user_is_on_home_page_of_the_applicaton() throws Throwable {

    // Write code here that turns the phrase above into concrete actions

    throw new PendingException();

}

@When("^User clicks on Registration link$")

public void user_clicks_on_Registration_link() throws Throwable {

    // Write code here that turns the phrase above into concrete actions

    throw new PendingException();

}

@Then("^Registration page should be displayed$")

public void registration_page_should_be_displayed() throws Throwable {

    // Write code here that turns the phrase above into concrete actions

    throw new PendingException();

}

Any help would be appreciated.

-Thanks

In @CucumberOptions, the glue parameter is a collection of packages, not source directories. If you specify glue = { "org.mycompany.featureA", "org.mycompany.featureB" } then Cucumber will find step definitions in both of those packages.
