Not able to run code after the Main.main() method in cucumber

Is there any way i can run some code after the Main.main() method?

System.out.println("execution start");
Main.main(new String[]{"-g","","./src/main/java/featureDetails/Testing.feature"});
System.out.println("execution over");

In this case system not able to print execution over.

Solution

  • If you look at the source of Main.main() you'll notice that it contains: System.exit(exitstatus) which terminates the system before it can return control to your method and print the message.

    The proper way to run the commandline programatically would be to use:

    String [] argv = new String[]{ "-g","","./src/main/java/featureDetails/Testing.feature"};
ClassLoader contextClassLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
byte exitstatus = Main.run(argv, contextClassLoader);
