[JVM]- How to run the Cucumber Tests from a main method?

[sivachithambaram rangaraj]

Hi,

Please let me know how to run the Cucumber tests from a main method.

Also is there a option to send  a configurable list t of features to execute. Instead of executing all the features.

Thanks

Siva

Hi Siva,

Why do you want to write a different runner for Cucumber? Can't you
use the command line interface (cucumber.api.cli.Main) that has a main
method already?

You can still create the command line parameters and call the
cucumber.api.cli.Main.main method. As the command line is unlikely to
change, it might be the safest option for you.

Do you mean a list of features? If you run the main method with the
--help flag you will be prompted with this message, explaining you how
to use it:
