Can't run cucumber test - java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: cucumber.runtime.Runtime.<init>

Question

I tried to run cucumber multiple times with the use of Stackoverlow solutions solving this problem for others. It doesn't work for me.

The stacktrace I get running the runnerfile:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: cucumber.runtime.Runtime.<init>(Lcucumber/runtime/io/ResourceLoader;Lcucumber/runtime/ClassFinder;Ljava/lang/ClassLoader;Lcucumber/runtime/RuntimeOptions;)V

My runner java class:

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(
    features = "src/test/Resources/featurefiles",
    glue = "src/test/java/StepDefs/OpenSummaryPageStepDefs.java"
)
public class ChromeRunner {

private static ChromeDriverService service;

@BeforeClass
public static void createAndStartService() throws IOException {
    service = new ChromeDriverService.Builder()
            .usingDriverExecutable(new File    ("src/main/resources/drivers/chromedriver.exe"))
            .usingAnyFreePort()
            .build();
    service.start();

}
@AfterClass
public static void createAndStopService() {
    service.stop();
}
}

It would be nice if someone has a solution!:)

Answer 1

You should use the same version of Cucumber-java dependencies as the Cucumber-JVM and Cucumber-JUnit dependencies, that is 1.2.5 in POM.xml file. This should solve the problem.

   <dependency>
        <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
        <artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId>
        <version>1.2.5</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
        <artifactId>cucumber-jvm</artifactId>
        <version>1.2.5</version>
        <type>pom</type>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
        <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId>
        <version>1.2.5</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

Answer 2

was facing same issue. for gradle using these two dependencies worked for me.

testCompile 'io.cucumber:cucumber-java:4.2.0'
testCompile 'io.cucumber:cucumber-junit:4.2.0'

Answer 3

I had the same issues as well and i was able to resolved the issue by changing all the info-cukes-cucumber dependencies to io.cucumber dependences

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.cucumber/cucumber-java -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
    <artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.0</version>
</dependency>

   <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.cucumber/cucumber-junit -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
    <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.1</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Answer 4

Adding dependencies with same version solved my issue with #bobcat too

compile "io.cucumber:cucumber-java:4.2.6"
compile "io.cucumber:cucumber-java8:4.2.6"
compile "io.cucumber:cucumber-guice:4.2.6"
compile "io.cucumber:cucumber-junit:4.2.6"
