not sure about how to see o/p reports in cucumber serenity

[rohitpatwari84]

This is my POM . After I run the runner file , what are the steps to see my serenity report - package Runner;

import cucumber.api.CucumberOptions;
import cucumber.api.junit.Cucumber;
//import net.serenitybdd.cucumber.CucumberWithSerenity;
import net.serenitybdd.cucumber.CucumberWithSerenity;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
//@RunWith(CucumberWithSerenity.class)

@CucumberOptions(
        features = {"src/test/java/Features/"},
       glue = {"Steps"},
        monochrome = true,
        tags = {"@Smoke"},
       plugin = {"pretty", "html:target/cucumber","json:target/cucumber.json"}

)
public class MainRunner {

}

Delete your current pom.xml file, use the pom.xml from https://github.com/serenity-bdd/serenity-cucumber-starter as a starting point, and add whatever dependencies are missing to make your project compile.

Awesome !! Thanks @wakaleo . It works now . Also had a general question . How does serenity compare with Relish and Pickles ? Are there any advantages as far as Live documentation is concerned ?

[wakaleo]

Serenity is a bit more comprehensive than tools like Relish and Pickles - it does both high level living documentation (with a configurable requirements hierarchy rather than just a list of features) and, if you write your tests using the Serenity APIs, in-depth documentation that documents what happened during the test itself (e.g. illustrated with screenshots or REST calls).
