Installation

Dependency

Gradle

To use Cucumber Groovy in your project, add the following line to your build.gradle:

testCompile group: 'io.cucumber', name:'cucumber-groovy', version: '5.1.3'

Maven

To use Cucumber Groovy in your project, add the following dependency to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
    <artifactId>cucumber-groovy</artifactId>
    <version>5.1.3</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Running from the Command Line Interface (CLI)

To run the test from the cli call:

groovy -cp "target/test-classes;./bin/cucumber-groovy-shaded.jar" ./bin/cucumber-jvm.groovy --glue classpath:cucumber/runtime/groovy src/test/resources/cucumber/runtime/groovy/a_feature.feature

or

groovy -cp "target/test-classes;./bin/cucumber-groovy-shaded.jar" ./bin/cucumber-jvm.groovy --glue classpath:cucumber.runtime.groovy --glue src/test/resources src/test/resources/cucumber/runtime/groovy/a_feature.feature

The test uses a mix of compiled and interpreted step definitions which makes the command a bit tricky:

1. -cp target/test-classes;./bin/cucumber-groovy-shaded.jar tells groovy where to find the compiled class files and needed dependencies for TypeRegistryConfigurer descendants.
2. --glue classpath:cucumber/runtime/groovy or --glue classpath:cucumber.runtime.groovy --glue src/test/resources is required so that cucumber finds the compiled step definitions
3. The last parameter provides a feature or a path with features
