If the Serenity and Cucumber versions are up to date and still this error is faced, : "this class doesn't have an empty or a page enabled constructor".... does it mean a empty constructor is mandatory for stepdefinition classes?

I was referring to https://github.com/serenity-bdd/serenity-cucumber/issues/102....but since the POM dependencies are updated , I am unable to understand the reason for the exception. PFB the stepdefinition class: package stepdefinitions;

import cucumber.TestContext; import cucumber.api.java.en.Given; import cucumber.api.java.en.Then; import cucumber.api.java.en.When; import net.thucydides.core.annotations.Steps; import pageobjects.StorePage;

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals; import static org.junit.Assert.assertTrue;

public class StorePageSteps { @Steps TestContext testContext; StorePage storePage;

public StorePageSteps(TestContext context){
    this.testContext = context;
    storePage = testContext.getPageObjectManager().getStorePage();
}

@Given("^: I navigate to the store page$")
public void i_navigate_to_the_store_page() {
    storePage.navigateTo();
}

@When("^: I view the page$")
public void i_view_the_page() {
    assertEquals("Winkel", storePage.getTitle());
}

@Then("^: All mandatory blocks are there$")
public void all_mandatory_blocks_are_there() {
    assertTrue("All assertTrueblocks are present on the store page", storePage.hasTaskMessagesBlock());
    System.out.println("YEah success Should add a check here!");
}

}

Also I am getting , error "package net.thucydides.core.annotations does not exist" while using @Step annotations for Page object files.

A step definition file must have an empty constructor to work with Serenity.

@wakaleo , how to implement shared context then? This was common practice for such cases.

@Inject public StorePageSteps(TestContext context){ this.testContext = context; }
