cucumber testng parallel testing thread count

[Sadakar Pochampalli]

Hi, I have a cucumber feature file consists of 3 scenarios. I want to enable parallel testing with threadCount=1 in a run and in another run want to set it to threadCount=2.

For below configuration, I am not able to run the parallel testing with thread 1 

1) pom.xml 

<plugin>

<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>

<version>3.1.2</version>

<configuration>

<parallel>methods</parallel>

<threadCount>2</threadCount>

<useUnlimitedThreads>false</useUnlimitedThreads>

</configuration>

</plugin>

2) parallel=true in CucumberRunnerTest.java file

public class CucumberRunnerTest extends AbstractTestNGCucumberTests {

@Override

@DataProvider(parallel = true)

public Object[][] scenarios() {

return super.scenarios();

}

} 3) Not taking testng.xml file for the project so not passing it from surefire.

After all, want to dynamically pass thread count from mvn test command line.

Any thoughts, please share.
