Links to Jira in Cucumber feature files

[Ilko Iliev]

Hi,

I'm trying to get links to Jira using the integration with cucumber. If I use this sample feature file:

Feature: Jira test me

@issue: Jira-IssueNr

Scenario: Fist scenario
Given I'm the boss
When I run it
Then I should see the link

I'm getting wrong syntax exception, as shown below. In general it works, if I'm using only JUnit and the (#Jira-IssueNr) syntax in the Title. How is it supposed to work with Cucumber? I've tried to use the same syntax as with JUnit putting (#...) in the feature, but this does not work.

TIA,
Ilko

OK,

I figured it out - the extra space caused the parser to think this is a name - value tag. Now I can see the tag Issues on the report linked to the tests, however I don't have link to the Jira. I'm passing jira.url property correctly. Do I need for this simple integration (only linking) the jira integration plugin installed as dependency?

I'm using the latest versions of serenity-bdd (1.1.5) and serenity-cucumber (1.1.1)

According to a post here this should work, however the Jira integration topic in the serenity reference manual[1] is empty.
