How to generate TestNG runner file using cucumber-jvm-parallel-plugin?

Below is my POM file. I am unable to generate TestNG runner file while all the configs are correct. Please help me to do the correct configuration.

Answer 1

You need to have your <plugin> entry available under

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
        <!-- add your plugin entry here -->
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

But you have added it under <pluginManagement> which is usually used to control plugin behavior for projects that inherit from the current one. See here for more information.
