How to run serenity bdd project through its jar

[Nakshatra P]

Hi,

Can someone guide me how to run serenity bdd project through its jar file?

java -jar target\serenitybdd-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar 

is throwing no main manifest attribute, in target\serenitybdd-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Thanks

PJ

Hi Nakashtra,

Could you give some background as to what you are trying to achieve by running Serenity via the JAR file?

Hi John,

My CI team is expecting a packaged test automation build, so they can invoke just the jar to kick start the test execution. They do not want to use maven commands for some reasons which I don't understand properly.

Thanks,

NP

That would be difficult - you would have to write a runner class that calls the JUnit runners, and bundle up both the dependencies and the test classes into a single JAR (which is surprisingly hard to do). So, no, this feature is not currently supported out of the box. Maybe try to understand why the CI team don't want to run Maven on a build box (which seems a little unconventional)?

Hi Nakshakra,

As John says, your teams approach sounds a little unconventional, but if you have got the tests running locally, you should be able to use this stack overflow answer to build a jar file that contains serenity and your test code.
