No features found at classpath:/cucumberOptions

Question

I am creating a automation project that uses cucumber, junit and TestNG. My POM file are as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</project>

I've also created a new cucumberTestNG.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "https://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="Suite">
    <listeners>
        <listener class-name = "project.Listeners"/>
    </listeners>

    <test name="Validate User Login">
      <classes>
        <class name="cucumberOptions.TestRunner"/>
      </classes>
    </test>
   
</suite> 

My test runner:

package cucumberOptions;

import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

import io.cucumber.junit.Cucumber;
import io.cucumber.junit.CucumberOptions;
import io.cucumber.testng.AbstractTestNGCucumberTests;

//@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(
        features = "src/test/java/features",
        glue = "stepDefinitions")
public class TestRunner extends AbstractTestNGCucumberTests {

}

If I run the cucumberTestNG file using TestNG Suite I get the following error:

Dec 09, 2020 9:16:16 PM io.cucumber.testng.TestNGCucumberOptionsProvider warnWhenJUnitCucumberOptionsAreUsed
WARNING: Ignoring options provided by io.cucumber.junit.CucumberOptions on cucumberOptions.TestRunner. It is recommend to use separate runner classes for JUnit and TestNG.
Dec 09, 2020 9:16:16 PM io.cucumber.core.runtime.FeaturePathFeatureSupplier get
WARNING: No features found at classpath:/cucumberOptions

Folder Structure:

I have Java and Maven in my environment variables

I've looked at questions such as cucumber jvm CucumberException: No features found at [] and made sure I have it correct testng with cucumber (first answer) but no luck.

Answer 1

I have similar issue. The reason is I have multiple dependencies related to junit5 and testng, so I removed all junit5 related ones and kept only testng ones. After then with a proper path to the feature file and testng.xml, it started working.

Answer 2

I faced the same issue, and I resolved the issue by downgrade Cucumber depedency from version 6.11.0 to 1.2.6, and I ensure cucumber-java and cucumber-testng has the same version which is 1.2.6 in pom.xml as you can see below:

Aslo my TestRunner class looks like below instead of extends AbstractTestNGCucumberTests you should( cucumber.api.testng.AbstractTestNGCucumberTests)

Answer 3

As mentioned in the warning

Dec 09, 2020 9:16:16 PM io.cucumber.testng.TestNGCucumberOptionsProvider warnWhenJUnitCucumberOptionsAreUsed
WARNING: Ignoring options provided by io.cucumber.junit.CucumberOptions on cucumberOptions.TestRunner. It is recommend to use separate runner classes for JUnit and TestNG.

Currently you are importing junit cucumber options.

import io.cucumber.junit.CucumberOptions;

For TestNg runner class you will need to import testng.CucumberOptions

import io.cucumber.testng.CucumberOptions;

Example from the cucumber-jvm repository

import io.cucumber.testng.AbstractTestNGCucumberTests;
import io.cucumber.testng.CucumberOptions;
import org.testng.annotations.DataProvider;

@CucumberOptions(plugin = { "html:target/results.html", "message:target/results.ndjson" })
public class RunCucumberTest extends AbstractTestNGCucumberTests {

    @DataProvider(parallel = true)
    @Override
    public Object[][] scenarios() {
        return super.scenarios();
    }

}
