excute intellij cucumber scenario from outside intellij

Question

I have running intellij with cucumber scenarios. Now I want to start a specific scenario from outside intellij.

Is there a possibility eg from a shell or a java programm to excecute something in intellij? Is there a possibility to use a currently running intellij instance for that?

Thanks Jochen

Answer 1

you did not provide many info, but I bet if you use Maven you can run from a terminal / git bash etc your tests outside IDE, eg:

mvn test See more info here: Run Cucucmber from terminal
