I have updated the cucumber version from info.cuke to io.cucumber. After that it is saying Exception in thread "main" cucumber.runtime.CucumberException. There is no io.cucumber.core.api.cli.Main. I am using intellij Idea

Solution

  • I managed to force IntelliJ-cucumber plugin template to use the suggested io.cucumber.core.api.cli.Main, and it works.

    config
