Cucumber tests not executing when running maven test

Question

I have a cucumber project. When I right click on the RunnerTest class and "Run "RunnerTest" all the features from the feature file starts running. All tests pass.

My RunnerTest.class

   import cucumber.api.CucumberOptions;
import cucumber.api.junit.Cucumber;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import lombok.extern.log4j.Log4j2;
import org.junit.BeforeClass;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(
features = {"classpath:foo.feature"},
glue = "com.foo.foobar.StepDefinitions",
plugin = {"json:target/cucumber-report/cucumber.json"},
monochrome = true,
strict = true
//,dryRun = true
)

@Log4j2
public class RunnerTest {}

But when I try to run mvn test or mvn clean install features are not running. This is the output.

I have tried to add mvn surefire plugin and including my RunnerTest Class there.

<build>
 <pluginManagement>
  <plugins>
   <plugin>
     <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
     <version>2.12.4</version>
     <configuration>
       <includes>
       <include>RunnerTest.java</include>
       </includes>
     </configuration>
   </plugin>
  </plugins>
 </pluginManagement>
</build>

But that does not work either

Answer 1

Known Issue : If you keep Junit & TestNG both dependencies in parallel, Then TestNG dependency causes Surefire to ignore JUnit wrapper class.

Solution : There could be multiple way of handling this like we can define 2 execution, each for TestNG & JUnit and disable one as per your need.

Can you please try with this : Please remove any direct/indirect TestNG dependency.

org.testng testng 6.14.3 test

And try to add below one -

io.cucumber cucumber-testng 3.0.0

Also, I would suggest you one more thing to keep your pom.xml clean.

Key Point :

• We shall not mix direct & transitive dependencies specially their versions! Doing so can cause unpredictable outcome.

Cucumber Execution via JUnit

You shall remove cucumber-core, cucumber-java, cucumber-jvm, cucumber-jvm-deps, gherkin as these are transitive dependencies which would get added by Maven when you add below direct (main) dependencies. Just add below 2 and one for testng shared above.
