How to setup a cucumber test project with java

Steve Fenton getting started with bdd intellij

1. Maven dependencies

note: cucumber-java8 is not required it allows you to use lambda steps definition

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
  <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId>
  <version>${cucumber.version}</version>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
  <artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId>
  <version>${cucumber.version}</version>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
  <artifactId>cucumber-spring</artifactId>
  <version>${cucumber.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
  <artifactId>cucumber-java8</artifactId>
  <version>${cucumber.version}</version>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

2. Define a runner

The runner below run features in src/test/resources/features, with steps defs and hooks in com.your.company.steps.package, create an html report in target/cucumber directory and skips @wip tagged features/scenarios.

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(
        features={"src/test/resources/features"},
        glue = {"com.your.company.steps.package"},
        plugin = {"pretty", "html:target/cucumber"},
        // skip WIP features
        tags = {"~@wip"}
)
public class RunAllFeatures {}

Using cucmber with spring injection

1. Add maven dependency

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
  <artifactId>cucumber-spring</artifactId>
  <version>${cucumber.version}</version>
</dependency>

2. Declare bean context configuration on top of step class

@ContextConfiguration(classes = SpringConfiguration.class)
public class YourStepdefs {
...
}

3. Using "World" bean/component

If you want to inject a common instance between your steps definitions class, you can declare a @component scenario scoped. ie a bean that will be instantiate at the beginning of a scenario and destroyed at the end of each scenario. You will need to use the cucumber-glue scope.

@Component
@Scope("cucumber-glue")
public class World {
...
}

Using natural language for date

In order to use natural language in you features like so :

Scenario: Scheduling a 90-day Review
Given an employee is hired "today"
When I schedule a review
Then the review should be scheduled "in 90 days"
