How to run selenium-cucumber eclipse project through command prompt

Question

I need to run selenium-cucumber (Junit) project from command prompt.

I tried using the statement in command prompt:

java -cp E:\Workspace2\AP\Jars\*;E:\Workspace2\AP\src\stepDefinition\ cucumber.api.cli.Main --glue E:\Workspace2\AP\src\cucumberTest\ E:\Workspace2\AP\Feature\LogIn_Test.feature

but it is showing me following output:

And My eclipse folder structure is as follows:

LogIn_Test.feature

Test_steps.java file:

TestRunner.java file:

I referred this:

https://dzone.com/articles/running-cucumber-from-the-command-line

but nothing works. My code didin't ran.

Can anyone guide me to resolve it?

Answer 1

Well at last the Issue is been resolved.

All I have did is in eclipse, just renaming the file "TestRunner" to "TestRunnerTest".

Command Line:

java -cp "E:\Workspace2\AP\Jars\*;E:\Workspace2\AP\bin" cucumber.api.cli.Main --glue stepDefinition E:\Workspace2\AP\Feature\LogIn_Test.feature

The steps look good so perhaps it is not finding / using the step definition file.

Maybe the part from the instructions about:

"Your feature files can be added to the end of the command line:

$ java -cp "/Users/jreijn/.m2/repository/info/cukes/cucumber-core/1.2.5/cucumber-core-1.2.5.jar:/Users/jreijn/.m2/repository/info/cukes/gherkin/2.12.2/gherkin-2.12.2.jar:/Users/jreijn/.m2/repository/info/cukes/cucumber-java/1.2.5/cucumber-java-1.2.5.jar:/Users/jreijn/.m2/repository/info/cukes/cucumber-jvm-deps/1.0.5/cucumber-jvm-deps-1.0.5.jar" cucumber.api.cli.Main Developer/sources/github/cucumber-jvm-extentreport/src/test/resources/cucumber/feature_one.feature

This will probably result in the following message:

UUUUUU
3 Scenarios (3 undefined)
6 Steps (6 undefined)

You can implement missing steps with the snippets below:
[snip]

This means it can’t find the step definitions, hooks, etc that correspond to your feature file.

Let’s add the glue code required for running the tests. In the below example I’ll use my maven projects target directory, which contains my step definitions in the test-classes directory. You can do that by adding the directory to your classpath, and with the argument --glue com.sitture.definitions, provide the Java package that contains step definition Java classes.

$ java -cp "/Users/jreijn/.m2/repository/info/cukes/cucumber-core/1.2.5/cucumber-core-1.2.5.jar:/Users/jreijn/.m2/repository/info/cukes/gherkin/2.12.2/gherkin-2.12.2.jar:/Users/jreijn/.m2/repository/info/cukes/cucumber-java/1.2.5/cucumber-java-1.2.5.jar:/Users/jreijn/.m2/repository/info/cukes/cucumber-jvm-deps/1.0.5/cucumber-jvm-deps-1.0.5.jar:/Users/jreijn/Developer/sources/github/cucumber-jvm-extentreport/target/test-classes/" cucumber.api.cli.Main --glue com.sitture.definitions Developer/sources/github/cucumber-jvm-extentreport/src/test/resources/cucumber/feature_one.feature

The other part that caught my eye was all steps throwing stuff but I don't know java

Answer 3

The --glue should point to the java package in which your glue code resides.

Which in your case, based on the above screenshots, should be “--glue stepDefinition”

One other important aspect is that you will need to add the compiled output of the stepdefinitions to your classpath, which in you case should be the full path to the ‘bin’ directory, but you should leave the ‘stepDefinition’ part off.

So try with

E:\Workspace2\AP>java -cp "E:\Workspace2\AP\Jars\*;E:\Workspace2\AP\bin" cucumber.api.cli.Main --glue stepDefinition E:\Workspace2\AP\Feature\LogIn_Test.feature

Note the quotes around the classpath values.
