There is unexpected error with com.epam.reportportal.cucumber.StepReporter - It does not implement cucumber.api.Plugin

[Hunterok1]

Reproduces with agent-java-cucumber v.3.0.1 Gherkin version - 2.12.2

During cucumber run the error occurs: cucumber.runtime.CucumberException: Couldn't load plugin class: com.epam.reportportal.cucumber.StepReporter. It does not implement cucumber.api.Plugin

[avarabyeu]

@Hunterok1 which version of cucumberJVM do you use?

[Hunterok1]

Cucumber version 2.3.1

[avarabyeu]

@Hunterok1 unfortunately, we do not support latest versions of cucumber. Our agent should be updated (or even re-implemented) for 2x cucumber generation

[Rome3333]

Hi @avarabyeu, @DzmitryHumianiuk,

Any approximate estimates around cucumber 2x support? Is it already planned somehow? Cucumber 2 has been released half a year ago with some major changes which we are really need to have on our project and would be great to have support in report portal.

Thank you!

[ruzeynalov]

Guys, we need support for Cucumber version 2.x. I would really appreciate input from original developers of report portal agent. Thank you )

[DzmitryHumianiuk]

@ruzeynalov team focused on features development of core product.

We have no tangible plans for cucumber agent updates. But we gladly will help with review of PRs

We were considering using this tool in our project but unfortunately found this issue as a huge blocker. So +1 vote for this one.

@DzmitryHumianiuk I still see empty repo for the link https://github.com/reportportal/agent-java-cucumber3 .Do we have any plan to add the feature soon ?+1 vote for this one

[DzmitryHumianiuk]

@indrabt somebody from contributors, proposed to send PR. we created the repo, but didn't receive it.

as i remember, there is no much of difference in cucumber3 and 4. and cucumber 3, is just few updates in version 2.

[indrabt]

@DzmitryHumianiuk Thanks for your response . Some of the features like data table in cucumber 3 was being used by our team here. unfortunately we can't downgrade to cucumber 2 because we will have to refactor all our code and at the same time we want to utilise report portal here .

[DzmitryHumianiuk]

@indrabt we opened position for SDET (Software Developer Engineer in Test). i assume he will be responsible for this staff to be up-to-date.

[MithunDavid]

I am still facing this issue while using scenario/step reports. We are using cucumber-java and cucumber-testng in our framework. I even tried with latest agent-java-cucumber-5.0.0-BETA-0. Can you please update the compatibility matrix for the latest versions.

[DzmitryHumianiuk]

@MithunDavid v5.x.x agent will work with ReportPortal v5 only.

for ReportPortal v4 use latest v4.x.x agent.

and could you give more details on issue?

[evgenytkachenko]

I have the same issue with RP v5 and agent v5. I tried different versions of cucumber/gherkin from the table "Compatibility matrix for cucumber agents" - does not work.

It works only with the ancient version of cucumber/gherkin - 1.2.5/2.12.2

Please, help

[DzmitryHumianiuk]

@HardNorth will take a look shortly. we do stabilization all java related agents and examples.

@evgenytkachenko try examples from here: https://github.com/reportportal/examples-java

[evgenytkachenko]

@DzmitryHumianiuk it helped I had to use

com.epam.reportportal agent-java-cucumber**4** 5.0.0-BETA-1

I used

com.epam.reportportal agent-java-cucumber 5.0.0-BETA-1

Hi All, I am trying to run Report Portal with Cucumber 6 but getting below error. Can anyone please guide how to use it with Cucumber 6.

@vinitmalhotra you need to use agent-java-cucumber6 version 5.1.0-RC-3

[Mahesh81]

@HardNorth We are setting up serenity framework with following pom.xml dependency

Can you please help us if there is any version mismatch

[HardNorth]

@Mahesh81 You need to use agent-java-cucumber5 version 5.1.0-RC-2

[dragos-panzaru-md]

With the following pom.xml

        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
            <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId>

            <artifactId>agent-java-cucumber</artifactId>

        </dependency>

I encounter the same issue:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The plugin specification 'com.epam.reportportal.cucumber.StepReporter' has a problem:
Could not load plugin class 'com.epam.reportportal.cucumber.StepReporter'.

when using the step reporter

@CucumberOptions(
        plugin = {"com.epam.reportportal.cucumber.StepReporter"})

[HardNorth]

@dragos-panzaru-md please read documentation carefully: https://github.com/reportportal/agent-java-cucumber#compatibility-matrix-for-cucumber-agents

[dragos-panzaru-md]

@HardNorth Yes you were correct. After making the necessary adjustment in pom.xml (changed agent-java-cucumber to agent-java-cucumber6) now I don't get any error anymore on test execution, however I don't see any report in report portal after test execution. I have the reportportal.properties in the root project folder, with the following content copied from the user profile section in report portal:

rp.endpoint = <report.portal.address>
rp.uuid = <access.token>
rp.launch = <launch.name>
rp.project = <project.name>

and for test execution I run the following command

mvn clean install

As a side note, the test is executed properly and the serenity report is also generated correctly

[HardNorth]

@dragos-panzaru-md There might be many reasons for that, including incorrect server configuration. If it's on client side there should be some errors in you test logs at the very beginning. If it's on server side you need to inspect your server (service-api) logs.

[dragos-panzaru-md]

@HardNorth Thank you for the quick response. If I use serenity with junit5 and cucumber do I need to integrate also junit with report portal using agent-java-junit5, or is enough to integrate cucumber with report portal using agent-java-cucumber6? The reason for asking this is that, when I execute the following command:

mvn clean install

I don't see in the logs any reference to report portal.

[HardNorth]

@dragos-panzaru-md just agent-java-cucumber6 should be enough. But I can't see your system and configurations to say what's exactly wrong, you should investigate that yourself.
