Error while running cucumber in junit

Question

Hi i am new to cucumber java. i am trying to run a simple cucumber feature test. below are my feature file, step definition file and junit runner file. but i am not able to run the test succesfully in cucumber-java,cucumber-junit 1.1.6 version.

Feature file

Feature: Test if f1 feature is working
Scenario: valid scenario
Given input1 is "t"
When input2 is also "t"
Then result should be "pass"

Stepdefinition file

package cucumberFrameworkPractise;

import org.junit.Assert;

import cucumber.api.java.en.Given;
import cucumber.api.java.en.Then;
import cucumber.api.java.en.When;



public class CucumberStepDefinitionTest {
    String input1,input2,result;
@Given("input1 is \"([^\"]*)\"$")
public void input1(String input1)
{
    this.input1=input1;
}
@When("input2 is also \"([^\"]*)\"$")
public void input2(String input2)
{
    this.input2=input2;
}
@Then("result should be \"([^\"]*)\"$")
public void result(String result)
{
    this.result=result;
    Assert.fail();
}
}

Cucumber runner file

package cucumberFrameworkPractise;

import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

import cucumber.api.CucumberOptions;
import cucumber.api.junit.Cucumber;

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(features = "src/test/resources/cucumberFrameworkPractise", format = {
        "pretty", "html:target/cucumber-htmlreport",
"json-pretty:target/cucumber-report.json" })
public class CucumberRunner {

}

I am getting below error:

But when i am running with 1.0.14 version of the same i am able to run it successfully. whys is it so? does 1.1.6 version has some bug in it to run? TIA!!!

Answer 1

In Simple term, We need same jar version for cucumber-core,cucumber-java,cucumber-junit. To overcome this issue :)

Error, we are getting because of the jar files and corresponding version(not suitable for our JDK). I played with jar file - now issue is resolved. And also able to run and generate output.

My JDK version- 1.8.0_60 JARS, junit -4.12 cucumber-java-1.2.2.jar cucumber-junit-1.2.2.jar cucumber-core-1.2.2.jar gherkin-2.12.2.jar cucumber-jvm-deps-1.0.3.jar

Note: java,junit,core should be in same version. Remove unwanted cucumber jars. Debug by install only two(Java and Junit) jar files(different version) and try to resolve NoSuchMethod error.
