Cucumber JVM undefined step

Question

I can't execute a simple test with cucumber for a project. I am on Intellij 13 Community, with cucumber plugin.

And my steps in the feature files are recognized by intellij, which can navigate and go to the step implementation.

@CucumberOptions(  monochrome = true,
        features = "src/test/resources/features/",
        format = { "pretty","html: cucumber-html-reports",
                "json: cucumber-html-reports/cucumber.json" },
        dryRun = false,
        glue = "fr.tlasnier.cucumber" )

Answer 1

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)

@CucumberOptions(  monochrome = true,
                         tags = "@tags",
                     features = "src/test/resources/features/",
                       format = { "pretty","html: cucumber-html-reports",
                                  "json: cucumber-html-reports/cucumber.json" },
                        dryRun = false,
                         glue = "fr.tlasnier.cucumber" )

public class RunCucumber_Test {
  //Run this
}

Answer 2

I've met the same problem. And found that if the package where step definitions exists has not been created in the corresponding source folder. You can try to create a class under fr.tlasnier.cucumber.step, then idea should be able to find the steps. I think it is a bug in Idea.

Answer 3

The class in which the steps are defined should be public. Anything else would throw the undefined step error.

Answer 4

In my case, i was running with intellij cucumber for java plugin, it doesnt automatically detect the glue, so you need to add it.
