Question

I couldn't find best solution for running cucumber test scenarios in parallel using gradle

The best possible solution found so far is this .. but I can't run it locally successfully

Any help much appreciated!!

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Take a look at Courgette-JVM

You can execute this with a gradle task.

It has added capabilities to run cucumber tests in parallel on a feature level or on a scenario level .

It also provides an option to automatically re-run failed scenarios.

Usage

@RunWith(Courgette.class)
@CourgetteOptions(
    threads = 10,
    runLevel = CourgetteRunLevel.SCENARIO,
    rerunFailedScenarios = true,
    showTestOutput = true,
    cucumberOptions = @CucumberOptions(
            features = "src/test/resources/features",
            glue = "steps",
            tags = {"@regression"},
            plugin = {
                    "pretty",
                    "json:target/courgette-report/courgette.json",
                    "html:target/courgette-report/courgette.html"}
    ))
    public class RegressionTestSuite {
    }

You should try gherkin client of QMetry Automation Framework. By using it you can run individual scenario in parallel. You will get features like TestNG xml run configuration, detailed reporting , parallel execution, step listener and many more.

In order to convert existing cucumber-jvm project to QAF following are the stpes:

• Download blank project QAF-bank-project ANT+IVY or qaf-blank-project-gradle or qaf-blank-project-maven
• Copy your features files into scenario directory
• Copy your java src files into src directory
• Place @QAFTestStepProvider annotation at class defining cucumber steps
• Create XML configuration file and run. You will find sample xml configuration file under config dir. For Gherkin your config file should look like below:

 <test name="Gherkin-QAF-Test"> <parameter name="step.provider.pkg" value="your.pkg.where.steps.defined" /> <parameter name="scenario.file.loc" value="resources/features" /> <classes> <class name="com.qmetry.qaf.automation.step.client.gherkin.GherkinScenarioFactory" /> </classes> </test> 

You can use tags as groups for run-configuration-filter and all other TestNG and QAF features.
