RunCukesTest.java

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(
        features = {"classpath:features"},
        plugin = {"html:target/site/cucumber-pretty","json:target/cucumber.json"},
        tags = {"@currentTest"},
        glue={"helpers","stepDefinitions"},
        monochrome = true
        )
public class RunCukesTest{

}

Reports are generated like this

which are different from expected

Answer 1

all configuration was good, made two changes.

1. removed pluginManagement tag in pom
2. Used cucumberOutput output directory instead of jsonFiles. For some reason jsonFiles was generating duplicate reports.

pom file,
