cucumber.api.junit

Class Cucumber

java.lang.Object

org.junit.runner.Runner

org.junit.runners.ParentRunner<cucumber.runtime.junit.FeatureRunner>

cucumber.api.junit.Cucumber

All Implemented Interfaces:

Describable, Filterable, Sortable

public class Cucumber
extends ParentRunner<cucumber.runtime.junit.FeatureRunner>

Classes annotated with @RunWith(Cucumber.class) will run a Cucumber Feature. In general, the runner class should be empty without any fields or methods. For example:

 @RunWith(Cucumber.class)
 @CucumberOptions(plugin = "pretty")
 public class RunCukesTest {
 }
Fail * 

Cucumber will look for a .feature file on the classpath, using the same resource path as the annotated class (.class substituted by .feature).

Additional hints can be given to Cucumber by annotating the class with CucumberOptions.

Cucumber also supports JUnits ClassRule, BeforeClass and AfterClass annotations. These will be executed before and after all scenarios. Using these is not recommended as it limits the portability between different runners; they may not execute correctly when using the commandline, IntelliJ IDEA or Cucumber-Eclipse. Instead it is recommended to use Cucumbers `Before` and `After` hooks.
