CucumberTests java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Not a file or directory

Question

I have windows 10 and using cucumber version 1.2.5

I have the following in the TestRunner

@CucumberOptions(
        plugin = {"pretty"},

        features = {"src/test/resources/features"})

However I am getting this error :

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Not a file or directory: C:\Users\myuserid\Int_workspace\myprojectname\src\test\resources\features

Please it is giving fullpath name (giving userName and workspace name and projectName)...Somehow I have setting and properties somewhere that is causing this issue. I have tried all recommendation on the internet but none is working...

Answer 1

1. Try adding only Feature folder name in "features" instead of the full folder path.

EX:

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(
        format = {"pretty", "html:target/Destination"},
        features = "Feature", 
        glue={"stepDefinition"})

public class TestRunner {

}

2. The above solutions may work for Cucumber version 1.2.2.

In your case, if it is not working try to downgrade the Cucumber Lib version from 1.2.5 to 1.2.2

Answer 2

Please check whether you have added the correct path. If path is correct then check the jar you have added to the project. Jar version mismatch can lead to this problem. I am using cucumber 1.2.4 and it is working fine. Please check with this,

@CucumberOptions(
    plugin = {"pretty"},
    features = {"src//test//resources//features//"})

Check the permissions to the folder also.
