Sharing steps/step defintions between mulitple projects #162

Open mohanrajmcad opened 6 years ago

mohanrajmcad commented 6 years ago

I am in the process of implementing serenity-cucumber to test microservices. We have around 50 microserivces in the environment that has been consumed by different channels like web and mobile. As per current approach I am using one single repososiotry and placing one features file per micro service, So that particular micro service can be tested independelty. And also this "single repository" can be used to create E2E scenarios as well.

However each microservices are getting deployed indepedenly in delivery pipeline, team is asking me to create 1 serenity reposiotry project for 1 service to test that particular service in the pipeline. So Is that possible to have 50 different sernity-cucumber repository and if I want to create e2e integration tests for 10 microservices then i can create new serenity repository and import content(steps/step definitions) from any particular microservice repository.

If I enable 50 microservices available as shared component repo, and any one can import and use only required repo for their project.I am not sure if this is possible at the moment with serenity BDD, please share your thoughts.

This is related to Cucumber rather than Serenity BDD. You would just need the step definitions for a microservice to be in a separate project or module (but in the same repo as the micro service).

Hello, Does importing cucumber step definitions from external / separate project really work ? I have tried adding external project that contains step definitions (i.e., G/W/T implementations) to the classpath and providing @CucumberOptions glue pointing to that external package but no luck!

Appreciate if you can guide how to achieve this please.

Many Thanks!

If the annotated classes are on the class path and referenced by the "glue" tag in the @CucumberOptions annotation, they should work.

I have tried 1) glue = "classpath:com.des.e2e.cucumber.stepDefs" 2) glue = "com.des.e2e.cucumber.stepDefs" 3) glue ="..com.des.e2e.cucumber.stepDefs" and few other combinations ... I am sure annotated classes are on the classpath as I can import the package manually and instantiate the class. Also tried with cucumber 2 and 4. Can't think of what's missing.

Thank you!

This is not really a Serenity-related question, as it involves the Cucumber internals. Have you asked the Cucumber community?

Not asked yet but looked up several places with no working solution. I also understand its not serenity related but the chat here seemed precise to what I need. Hence, trying it here.

This is solved! Just to benefit others - if cucumber annotated classes in external project are under src/test/java follow https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-jar-plugin/examples/create-test-jar.html
