[JS] Has anyone used Cucumber-JS with Maven

[Stuart Pretorius]

We'd like to use cucumber.js to test our JS code at build time with Maven across multiple platforms ( mainly Windows and Linux ). Has anyone had any luck running cucumber.js with the Maven Exec plugin? We'd like to use phantom.js or a derivative, would you recommend any headless environment in particular? 

At the moment we have a very basic feature, step and world file setup and the below entry in our POM file. This however does not work, I tried to use the cmd executable and the pass arguments but both failed with the below errors. Has anyone had any luck with sort of build setup?

            <plugin>

                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>

                <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>

                <version>1.2.1</version>

                <executions>

                    <execution>

                        <id>run-ui-cucumber-tests</id>

                        <phase>compile</phase>

                        <goals>

                            <goal>exec</goal>

                        </goals>

                    </execution>

                </executions>

                <configuration>

                    <executable>cucumber-js</executable>

                    <workingDirectory>../cucumber-ui-tests</workingDirectory>

                </configuration>

            </plugin>

Error :  ...Command execution failed. Cannot run program "cucumber-js"...

[Julien Biezemans]

I have no experience with Maven at all but doesn't that error message mean Maven cannot find a "cucumber-js" executable? Could you specify the absolute path to cucumber.js?

Hey Julien

Apologies for the delay in response but have only recently had the time to come back to this. I have updated my maven plugin to run as follows which seems to be working with the following error. ( I do have a controlled failing test )

Maven

<plugin>

    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>

    <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>

    <version>1.2.1</version>

    <executions>

        <execution>

            <id>run-ui-cucumber-tests</id>

            <phase>compile</phase>

            <goals>

                <goal>exec</goal>

            </goals>

        </execution>

    </executions>

    <configuration>

        <executable>cmd</executable>

        <arguments>

            <argument>/C</argument>

            <argument>C:\Users\spretorius\AppData\Roaming\npm\cucumber-js</argument>

        </arguments>

    </configuration>

</plugin>

Summary

The part that is interesting is that it seems to be outputting the first part of the cucumber output but not the rest. eg. ( [31mF←[0m[INFO and F--...... ) See below. Any ideas?

Maven output

Command line output

[Julien Biezemans]

Cucumber seems to run well. One of your step definitions is failing for some reason. The line above appears to be the error. What's that phantom-proxy thing there?
