org.jbehave.core.io.storyresourcenotfound exception when running jbehave test in eclipse

Question

I am getting this exception when I run the IT test written jbehave in eclipse.

org.jbehave.core.io.storyresourcenotfound 

I have path_steps.java and path_story.java in test/java/package and path.story file in the same package in test/resources/package.

Not sure what needs to be changed.

Answer 1

I'm not sure if my context was the same as yours, but in my case the problem was a typo in my steps file. I had a Then condition with two parameters but my method signature in my Steps.java file was missing one of them. I corrected the mistake and my tests passed successfully.

Here's what the error was that I was getting:

[INFO] Using controls UnmodifiableEmbedderControls[EmbedderControls[batch=false,skip=false,generateViewAfterStories=true,ignoreFailureInStories=true,ignoreFailureInView=false,verboseFailures=false,verboseFiltering=false,storyTimeoutInSecs=300,failOnStoryTimeout=false,threads=1]]

(com/netbase/OpMetricsFilterBuilder/stories/ComputeDerivedValue.story)
Narrative:
In order to explore how my social media activity ties to my core business metrics
As a n analyst
I want to compute a derived time series value from a set of component time series
Scenario: Compute Net Intent to Shop
Given the following time series:

|Date|Shop|NotShop|
|11/5/2014|330|400|
|11/6/2014|370|410|
|11/7/2014|320|390|
|11/8/2014|200|280|
|11/9/2014|430|450|

And a derived value name of NetIntentToShop
And a formula for computing the derived value is (#{Shop} - #{NotShop}) / (#{Shop} + #{NotShop}) * 100
When the NetIntentToShop is derived
Then the NetIntentToShop should be

Here's the erroneous method signature:

@Then("the $derivedValueName should be: $expectedOutputDataTable")
public void thenTheDerivedValueShouldBe(ExamplesTable expectedOutputDataTable) {

Here's the correction:

@Then("the $derivedValueName should be: $expectedOutputDataTable")
public void thenTheDerivedValueShouldBe(String derivedValueName, ExamplesTable expectedOutputDataTable) {

It seems like a funny error message for my situation. I guess if a parameter is missing from the Steps.java file then Jbehave might go search for it as a resource.
