I am trying to incorporate a maven plugin cucumber-jvm-parallel-plugin into my Cucumber-JVM code and am running into some problems... I think I have configured my pom.xml
properly, but my cucumber features are still getting ran one by one instead of in parallel.
How do I configure my pom.xml to make my cucumber features run in parallel? I have some feature files that block execution and I don't want to have to wait for them to finish in order to start testing the other features.
I followed two tutorials, and can't find where I am going wrong, or if this is expected:
Here's my program's structure:
├── features/
│ └── api/
│ ├── 006-Email.feature
│ └── 999-Login.feature
├── results/
│ └── api-json.json
└── src/
└── java/
├── pom.xml
├── src/
│ └── test/
│ └── java/
│ └── com/
│ └── mycompany/
│ └── commonapps/
│ └── queuemanager/
│ ├── Globals.java
│ ├── GmailHelper.java
│ ├── HttpDeleteWithBody.java
│ ├── JsonHelper.java
│ ├── RequestHelper.java
│ ├── RunApiTest.java
│ ├── ThreadedSteps.java
│ └── UserHelper.java
└── steps/
└── com/
└── mycompany/
└── commonapps/
└── queuemanager/
├── GivenSteps.java
├── Setup.java
├── ThenSteps.java
└── WhenSteps.java
The way I configured my pom is as follows:
I copy ../../features/api/
to my build path using Maven Resources Plugin
<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>../../features/api/</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
</build>
I tell cucumber-jvm-parallel-plugin that my features
are now located at target/classes/active/
, because I think ../../features/api/
was copied to target/
, so target/active/
should contain my .feature
files.. I think.
<plugin>
<groupId>com.github.temyers</groupId>
<artifactId>cucumber-jvm-parallel-plugin</artifactId>
...
<configuration>
...
<featuresDirectory>${project.build.directory}/classes/active/</featuresDirectory>
...
</configuration>
</plugin>
Then, after I run maven test
, all .feature
files are then compiled into target/test-classes/Parallel**IT.class
. One per feature file.
So I tell maven-surefire-plugin to run all <include>**/Parallel*IT.class</include>
files in parallel, which are the feature files created by cucumber-jvm-parallel-plugin.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>acceptance-test</id>
<phase>integration-test</phase>
<goals>

</goals>
<configuration>

<reuseForks>true</reuseForks>
<includes>
<include>**/Parallel*IT.class</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
And my pom.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

And my cucumber running class looks like this:
@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(plugin={"pretty","json:../../results/api-json.json"}, glue={"com.mycompany.commonapps.queuemanager"}, features={"../../features/api/active"})
public class RunApiTest {
}
When I run mvn test
, I get the following:

Does anyone see what I did wrong?
outputDirectory
is getting created correctly and contains a bunch of Parallel**IT.class filesfeaturesDirectory
is getting accessed correctly.cucumberOutputDir
is NOT getting created at all after a build.I finally got it to work! Here's what I had to do to make my tests run in parallel:
I move some fields in the maven-surefire-plugin
execution
tag to the configuration
tag. I moved this section:
<forkCount>5</forkCount>
<reuseForks>true</reuseForks>
<includes>
<include>**/*IT.class</include>
</includes>
maven-surefire-plugin
now looks like this: <plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.19.1</version>
<configuration>
<forkCount>5</forkCount>
<reuseForks>true</reuseForks>
<includes>
<include>**/*IT.class</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Since cucumber-jvm-parallel-plugin
is now running the show, I had to remove my cucumber runner class. I commented it out like this:
/*
@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(plugin={"pretty","json:../../results/api-json.json"}, glue={"com.mycompany.commonapps.queuemanager"}, features={"../../features/api/active"})
*/
public class RunApiTest {
}
And that's it. Since Parallel**IT.class
where getting created, it was maven-surefire-plugin
that was not working right.
