I’ve been spending hours with ChatGPT trying to get this to run, but I’m running into the same errors again and again.

My project is a fresh, simple java/kotlin project, with Selenium and Cucumber. (Maven.) I’m trying just to get a simple test (feature file and step definition to run), without luck.

Here’s my project setup:

project

• cucumber (module)
• • src
• • • main
• • • • java (nothing here, as I’m using “test” instead of “main”)
• • • • resources (nothing here, as I’m using “test” instead of “main”)
• • • test
• • • java
• • • • e2e
• • • • • setup
• • • • • • Hooks.kt
• • • • • • RunCucumberTest
• • • • • testdefinitions
• • • • • • TestStepDefinitions.kt
• • • resources
• • • • features
• • • • • testfeature.feature

Hooks.kt:

package e2e.setup

import io.cucumber.java.After
import io.cucumber.java.Before
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver
import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager

class Hooks {

    companion object {
        lateinit var driver: WebDriver
    }

    @Before
    fun setUp() {
        WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup()
        driver = ChromeDriver()
        driver.manage().window().maximize()
    }

    @After
    fun tearDown() {
        driver.quit()
    }
}

RunCucumberTest.kt:

package e2e.setup

import io.cucumber.junit.Cucumber
import io.cucumber.junit.CucumberOptions
import org.junit.runner.RunWith

@RunWith(Cucumber::class)
@CucumberOptions(
    features = ["src/test/resources/features"],
    glue = ["e2e.testdefinitions"],
    plugin = ["pretty", "html:target/cucumber-reports"]
)
class RunCucumberTest

TestStepDefinitions.kt:

package e2e.testdefinitions

import io.cucumber.java.en.Given
import io.cucumber.java.en.Then
import io.cucumber.java.en.When
import e2e.setup.Hooks
import org.openqa.selenium.By
import org.junit.Assert.assertTrue

class StepDefinitions {

    @Given("I open the browser and go to the Google homepage")
    fun i_open_the_browser_and_go_to_the_google_homepage() {
        Hooks.driver.get("https://www.google.com")
    }

    @When("I search for {string}")
    fun i_search_for(searchQuery: String) {
        Hooks.driver.findElement(By.name("q")).sendKeys(searchQuery)
        Hooks.driver.findElement(By.name("q")).submit()
    }

    @Then("the page title should start with {string}")
    fun the_page_title_should_start_with(titleStartsWith: String) {
        assertTrue(Hooks.driver.title.startsWith(titleStartsWith))
    }
}

testfeature.feature:

Feature: Google Search

Scenario: Searching on Google
    Given I open the browser and go to the Google homepage
    When I search for "Selenium WebDriver"
    Then the page title should start with "Selenium WebDriver"

The project builds fine, and the libraries and dependencies all seem to be right.

But when I try running the scenario in the feature file, I get this error:

Before All/After All failed
io.cucumber.core.backend.CucumberBackendException: Please annotate a glue class with some context configuration.

For example:

   @CucumberContextConfiguration
   @SpringBootTest(classes = TestConfig.class)
   public class CucumberSpringConfiguration { }
Or: 

   @CucumberContextConfiguration
   @ContextConfiguration( ... )
   public class CucumberSpringConfiguration { }
    at io.cucumber.spring.SpringFactory.start(SpringFactory.java:102)
    at io.cucumber.core.runner.Runner.buildBackendWorlds(Runner.java:134)

The examples doesn’t tell me much, since I’m not well versed with Spring.

But as far as I can see, my glue and features specifications are correct? But obviously not, or not according to IntelliJ.
