We are using cucumber(with java) in our project for the automation(with mvn). I have a case where I need to execute one feature file, say feature_fil1 in the beginning of the suite.
Since all our features files are running in parallel(we are using the parallel execution), I can trigger this file only from the pom.xml. How can I invoke a feature file directly from pom.xml and then I would like to invoke other feature files(with the parallel execution).
I would appreciate any help on this.
Thanks.
Currently we are running this feature_fil1 manually and then invoking the cucumber automation suite(which runs all the feature files excluding this feature_fil1 parallelly). But trying to include this feature_fil1 as well in the automation, which I cant do in the parallel run, as there is not guarantee that it runs the feature_fil1 always in the first, before running the other files.So,thats why I am thinking to see if I can run it via pom.xml.
When using Cucumber with JUnit 5:
Define multiple @Suite classes targeting a different group of features.
Each can be configured with it’s own level of parallelism through JUnit 5. Then configure Surefire to run these suites in order without parallelism.

When using Cucumber with JUnit 4:
Define multiple @RunWith classes each targeting a different group of features.
Then configure multiple Surefire executions targeting a different class each.
