[Cucumber JVM] how to extract feature and scenario name at run time

[satish gowda]

I am trying extract the feature and scenario at run time

import gherkin.formatter.model.Scenario;

import cucumber.api.java.Before;

@Before

public void before(Scenario s) {

System.out.println("currently executig scenario " + s.getName());

}

getting error "cucumber.runtime.CucumberException: When a hook declares an argument it must be of type cucumber.api.Scenario. "

could some one tell how to  extract the feature and scenario at run time

You are importing gherkin.formatter.model.Scenario and not

cucumber.api.Scenario.

Hooks haven't been designed with reporting in mind; for that you
should define your own formatter. From the hook's point of view the
feature is irrelevant.

What are you trying to do in the hook?

even i tried with cucumber.api.Scenario. 

but in that i can not find getName() function 

is there any way  to fetch the Scenario and Feature name??

You must use cucumber >1.1.6

> is there any way to fetch the Scenario

Yes.

> and Feature name??

No.


Might give you an alternative approach if you answer the question in
my previous mail.

Paolo,

I'm integrating Applitools Eyes  with my Cucumber tests.   I would like to get the Feature name in the Before Hook to set the BatchInfo object in Eyes object.  It would then group all comparisons by Feature.

Im using TestNG and thinking about just explicitly implementing AbstractTestNgRunner so I can use the @BeforeClass hook ....

I am trying to do the same, the Scenario is working for me, but the feature name it is impossible to get. I couldn't find anything at all.

You have replied to at least a thread that where it is mentioned that to get the feature name you need a custom formatter and not a hook.

In hooks that information is not available as it's an antipattern. If you need it good chances are that you are misusing hooks for something they were not designed for.

What is your use case?
