Cucumber Scenario Outline 不适用于 Junit 4.11 和 Cucumber 1.2.5

Question

I am trying Scenario outline with example table in cucumber. But an exception is thrown. cucumber.runtime.CucumberException: Failed to create scenario runner I tried it with various versions of Junit and cucumber. Can anyone suggest the correct version of junit to use with cucumber so that this works.Other cucumber options are working fine exceot this. I have used junit 4.12 and cucumber 1.2.5 as well but of no use as far as Scenario Outline is concerned.

Answer 1

You should have a look on the reason of the exception. As the code which throws the exception states that the cause is used to construct the CucumberException

} catch (InitializationError e) {
    throw new CucumberException("Failed to create scenario runner", e);
}

If for example your class runner.Runner would not be a public class the resulting exception message would look like

java.lang.Exception: The class runner.Runner is not public.

edit: This example was done with JUnit 4.12. The checks are different in JUnit 4.11 and 4.12. So this does not throw an exception in JUnit 4.11.

a JUnit 4.11 case could be a wrong CucumberOption .

cucumber.runtime.CucumberException: Unknown option: --wrong-option

I believe there would be some more explanation in the exception message. Best would be you provide the code for your runner class.

I tried many version of Junit and cucumber. after 2-3 hrs of struggle I was finally able to create the test runner. Use below dependencies. This combination worked for me

<dependencies>
<dependency>
    <groupId>junit</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
    <version>4.10</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
    <version>3.4.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
    <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.14</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
    <artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.14</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
    <artifactId>cucumber-picocontainer</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.14</version>
</dependency>

Use these dependencies in your project, for me it is working fine.

   <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
   <version>3.0.1</version>
 </dependency>
 <dependency>
  <groupId>junit</groupId>
  <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
 <version>4.12</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
        <artifactId>cucumber-java8</artifactId>
