How to run tests in parallel with Serenity/Cucumber Runner/Maven

[Gerhard Schuster]

Hi there,

recently I've postet something about running the tests in parallel, which was utterly, totally wrong.
This should be correct.

- Write one java class anotiated @RunWith(CucumberWithSerenity.class) per featurefile. Use @CucumberOptions(features=...) to define the path to the feature file.
- Start the tests with mvn clean verify
- In the pom file use
<parallel>classes</parallel> in the configuration area for maven-failsave-plugin

Your tests will run in parallel, whether you run against a Selenium GRID or not

I've noticed the following problems:
- If you run maven with the -Dcucumber.options="--tags @ATag" settup, tests will not run in parallel

Hi, also you can use parameters for maven-failsafe-plugin as,

<threadCount>4</threadCount>
<forkCount>4</forkCount>

 More info you can find here http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-failsafe-plugin/examples/fork-options-and-parallel-execution.html

Thanks Viacheslav - this fixed my selenium grid parallel test running issue!!!!!!!

Seems to be a bit of a pain manually creating a runner class per feature file.

Have you tried something like this?
