Getting error "Infinite loop in property interpolation" while reading properties from file

[shivi malviya]

Hi,

I am running my cucumber features, and I am trying to read my properties like "browser name", "URL" from .properties file. But it is giving me error as :

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

I have kept my properties file under path /src/test/resources/. I am attaching my POM file as well.

Please suggest how should I resolve this.

Thanks,
