Can't run testng.xml in Cucumber-Maven(TestNG)

Question

In eclipse IDE, I have created a basic cucumber framework by using Maven project.

I have added all the dependencies required in pom.xml.For TestNG plugin added below dependencies.

 <dependency>       
      <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
        <artifactId>testng</artifactId>              
        <version>6.14.3</version>
        <scope>test</scope>         
</dependency> 
<dependency>
        <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
        <artifactId>cucumber-testng</artifactId>
        <version>1.2.5</version>   
 </dependency>

But 'TestNG Suite' option was not coming in preferences,so installed TestNG through Help->Install New Software.

Framework is having feature file(scenario is described),stepdefinitions(code/logic given) and runner class(To map feature with stepdefinitions file and run it).

Runner class :

package tests.report.runners;

import cucumber.api.CucumberOptions;


@CucumberOptions(features = "src/test/resources/features",glue= {"tests"},tags= {"@Report"})
public class ReportRunner  {
    }

Like this I have one runner class for each module(End to End scenario)

Ex :

• Login, go to product page and logout

• Login,generate report and logout

I am trying to run these runner class by testng.xml file

testng.xml file

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
 <!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
   <suite name="First Suite" parallel="classes"> 
    <test name="Chrome Test" parallel="classes">
       <classes> 
           <class name ="tests.report.runners.ReportRunner"></class>
       </classes> 
   </test> 
</suite>

But its throwing below error

Answer 1

Issue was because of incompatible junk jars stored in maven repositeries.

Please follow below steps

1. Clean old properties/maven dependencies(Open command prompt from yours project directory and run below commands)
   • mvn eclipse:clean
   • mvn eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=2.0

2. Download below cucumber jar files and add in your project(don't add it in pom directly)

   <dependency>
       <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
       <artifactId>cucumber-core</artifactId>
       <version>1.2.5</version>
   </dependency>
   <dependency>
       <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
       <artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId>
       <version>1.2.5</version>
   </dependency
   <dependency>
       <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
       <artifactId>cucumber-jvm-deps</artifactId>
       <version>1.0.5</version>
       <scope>provided</scope>
   </dependency>
   <dependency>
       <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
       <artifactId>gherkin</artifactId>
       <version>2.12.2</version>
       <scope>provided</scope>
   </dependency>
   

3. Make sure that You have already TestNG library into project

4. Add below cucumber-testng dependencies in pom.xml file

   <dependency>
      <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
      <artifactId>cucumber-testng</artifactId>
      <version>1.2.5</version>
   </dependency>
   

5. Extend runner class with AbstractTestNGCucumberTests

  package tests.report.runners;
  import org.testng.annotations.Test;
  import cucumber.api.testng.AbstractTestNGCucumberTests;
  import cucumber.api.CucumberOptions;
  @Test
  @CucumberOptions(features = "src/test/resources/features",glue= {"tests"},tags= 
  {"@Report"})
  public class ReportRunner extends AbstractTestNGCucumberTests {
  }

6. Execute with below testng.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="First Suite" >
<test name="Chrome Test" >
<classes>
<class name ="tests.report.runners.ReportRunner"></class>
</classes> 
</test>
</suite>

Thanks!
