Cucumber - How to configure QAF Gherkin Scenario Factory?

I have a Cucumber project running thanks to JUnit with the following class:

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(
        features = "src/test/resources/features",
        glue = "com.steps",
        plugin = {"pretty", "json:target/cucumber-report/cucumber.json"})
public class RunCucumber {
}

I want to use QAF Gherkin Scenario Factory in order to put some scenario examples in external files in order to reuse them (ex : Cucumber: Scenario Outline reusing examples table or CustomDataProvider for feature file (QAF)).

I read the last section called "For Existing cucumber implementation" and did what it says, but I currently get an exception when running Cucumber with QAF (see edit section below).

Java: 1.8

Cucumber : 4.8.0

Junit: 4.12

src/test/resources/features/test.feature

Feature: Test for QAF

  Scenario: success
    Given my scenario works

src/test/java/com/steps/TestSteps.java

@QAFTestStepProvider
public class TestSteps {

    @Given("my scenario works")
    public void myScenarioWorks() {
         assertTrue(true);
    }
}

Edit: Base on user861594 help, here is where I am:

  • I downloaded the library QAF 2.1.15 through maven configuration.
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.qmetry</groupId>
    <artifactId>qaf</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.15</version>
</dependency>

  • I annotated my step class with @QAFTestStepProvider

  • I created a xml configuration file for testNG in order to configure cucumber and run it with the QAF class called GherkinScenarioFactory:

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="TestNG - Cucumber" verbose="0">
    <test name="Gherkin-QAF-Test">
        <parameter name="step.provider.pkg" value="com.steps" />
        <parameter name="scenario.file.loc" value="src/test/resources/features/test.feature" />
        <classes>
            <class name="com.qmetry.qaf.automation.step.client.gherkin.GherkinScenarioFactory" />
        </classes>
    </test>
</suite>

  • I ran the previous configuration with the testNG plugin for IntelliJ IDEA (test kind = suite. I also can choose Class, Method, Group, Pattern or All in package)

  • When running, I get the following exception (before the test, so it is ignored):

Recap of when and where the exceptions happen:

// TestNG SuiteRunner#run begins
// Eventually we arrive in QAFTestBase where the first NullPointerException happens

public List<LoggingBean> getLog() {
        return (List<LoggingBean>) getContext().getObject(COMMAND_LOG); // NullPointerException. getContext() is OK but getContext().getObject(CHECKPOINTS) returns null
    }

// QAFTestNGListener#onConfigurationFailure is called
// Eventually we arrive in QAFTestBase again, where the second NullPointerException happens

public List<CheckpointResultBean> getCheckPointResults() {
        return (List<CheckpointResultBean>) getContext().getObject(CHECKPOINTS); // NullPointerException. getContext() is OK but getContext().getObject(CHECKPOINTS) returns null
    }
Solution

  • Create XML configuration file to run your features:

    <test name="Gherkin-QAF-Test">
   <parameter name="step.provider.pkg" value="pkg.to.look.for.steps" />
   <parameter name="scenario.file.loc" value="resources/features" />
   <classes>
      <class name="com.qmetry.qaf.automation.step.client.gherkin.GherkinScenarioFactory" />
   </classes>
</test>

    Refer documentation for BDD configuration. Run it as TestNG test.

    Which version of cucumber step implementation you have? If it is cucumber 5+ add qaf-cucumber dependency. You can find latest dependency in maven central. Also use latest version (as of today QAF 2.1.15)

    EDIT:

    Cucumber 4:

    Cucumber 4 users can use qaf-cucmber4 and keep using cucumber as it is with additional capabilities. It will allow you to use external test data, and parameterize step arguments as well as meta-data rule and meta-data format. Below are steps:

    1. add qaf-cucumber4 dependency. Make suer to put dependency before other cucumner dependencies.
    2. add QAFCucumberPlugin (see junit example below).

    You can then use BDD2 syntax features which is super set of gherkin.

    @RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(plugin = {"com.qmetry.qaf.automation.cucumber.QAFCucumberPlugin"}, <other options>)//
public class RunCucumberTest {
}

    Cucumber 5:

    1. add qaf-cucumber dependency. Make suer to put dependency befor other cucumner dependencies.
    2. To run using cucumner runner add QAFCucumberPlugin (see junit example above).
    3. To Run using TestNG use QAF BDD2 factory with TestNG

    Here is example TestNG configuration file.

    <test name="Gherkin-QAF-Test">
   <parameter name="step.provider.pkg" value="pkg.to.look.for.steps" />
   <parameter name="scenario.file.loc" value="resources/features" />
   <classes>
      <class name="com.qmetry.qaf.automation.step.client.text.BDDTestFactory2" />
   </classes>
</test>

    Note: qaf-cucumber4 is not supporting running with testng using bdd factory.
