Hi,

I am very new to cucumber. When i am trying to execute my feature file i am getting error like,

WARNING: Cucumber-JVM's --format option is deprecated. Please use --plugin instead.

My feature file is:

Warnings are not errors. You are getting both a warning and an error, and they are unrelated.

The warning should be self-explanatory. Use --plugin instead of --format.

WARNING: Cucumber-JVM's --format option is deprecated. Please use --plugin instead.
Feature: Proof of concept that my framework worksException in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:

This error means you have incompatible har versions on your classpath.

Make sure your cucumber-* jar versions are all 1.2.0 and your gherkin version is 2.12.2.

Hope this helps

Aslak-

When you said "The warning should be self-explanatory. Use --plugin instead of --format. "

How can we use Plugin( Where to install)? Even Today is my first day of learning cucumber, so Dont know exactly- Where to install plugin?

There is nothing to install - all plugins are bundled with Cucumber. In your script that launches Cucumber you currently have "--format" somewhere. Replace that with "--plugin".

Hi Aslak,

My situation is somewhat similar to Raju's. however, in my case there is only the following error:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: gherkin.formatter.model.Scenario.getId()Ljava/lang/String

at cucumber.runtime.ScenarioImpl.<init>(ScenarioImpl.java:28)

at cucumber.runtime.Runtime.buildBackendWorlds(Runtime.java:144)

at cucumber.runtime.model.CucumberScenario.run(CucumberScenario.java:38)

I tried to search on the above, got some answer saying that we need to have 'Cucumber-JVM' dependency installed. I tried that thru maven, but I always get an error stating the 'Cucumber-JVM' jar could not be located.

My pom.xml looks like:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

and the feature file I am trying o execute is:

Feature: Calculator

As a user

I want to use a calculator

So that I don't need to calculate myself

Scenario: Add two numbers

Given I have a calculator

When I add 2 and 3

Then the result should be 5

During execution the output is:

Running com.czeczotka.bdd.runner.RunCalculatorTest

Feature: Calculator

As a user

I want to use a calculator

So that I don't need to calculate myself

Kindly help me to solve this.

No, it's completely different.

You have an incompatible gherkin on your classpath. Remove it from your pom and all should be fine. You'll get the gherking that cucumber-java depends transitively on.

Sorry, my bad. Your error is the same as Raju's. Just remove gherkin from your pom. You should never include it.
