[Cucumber][JVM][Maven]Tests dosen't run from command line through maven

Question

I am running tests using java, cucumber with Maven. I am using Eclipse IDE. Also the pom.xml has cucumber dependencies. I am running tests in two ways.

1. From Eclipse IDE: I run tests as Junit tests and the test results are successful.

2: From command promt: My test failed and below is the result.

• Here is the Pom.xml:

  "junit:results/cucumber.xml",
  }
          )
  
  
  public class RunnerTest {
  }
  

• My output console :

Answer 1

The dependency

org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder

is not defined in your pom.xml file. However it is defined on your build path in your Eclipse project. Placing one (and only one) of slf4j-nop.jar, slf4j-simple.jar, slf4j-log4j12.jar, slf4j-jdk14.jar or logback-classic.jar on the class path should solve the problem.

I would add a dependency in your pom.xml, perhaps something like this:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.slf4j/slf4j-simple -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>slf4j-simple</artifactId>
    <version>1.7.21</version>
</dependency>

EDIT

A less good but viable alternative is to utilize the Surefire plugin's additionalClasspathElements element "to add custom resources/JARs to your classpath. This will be treated as an absolute file system path, so you may want use ${basedir} or another property combined with a relative path. Note that additional classpath elements are added to the end of the classpath, so you cannot use these to override project dependencies or resources."

I said less good because it is better to track as dependencies in your pom.xml where if you update one dependency to a later version you can see the other dependencies that also have to be updated. You might overlook jars specified down in the surefire plugin.

Answer 2

Try to run using the below command from command prompt

mvn clean test -Dcucumber.options="src/resources/features --tags @@Personne"
