Generate runners and features in maven target

correct me if I am wrong, either way directories are configurable , so we can use some thing like ${project.build.directory}/parallel/features and ${project.build.directory}/parallel and files will be in target folder

[bischoffdev]

That's true but they won't be considered test sources. And since the runners have to be compiled it is not that easy. If you get it to work like you said I would be happy if you let me know so I can add it to the documentation.

Thank you laxersaz, as you rightly said those files cant be part of sources to get compiled .

Considering that in mind, have tweaked pom file to get test-sources comiple, and make .classes avaialble to run the test cases .

And here is my cucable.template and plugin details cucable.template

@RunWith(Cucumber.class) @CucumberOptions( monochrome = false, features = {"target/parallel/features/[FEATURE_FILE_NAME].feature"}, format = {"json:target/cucumber-report/[FEATURE_FILE_NAME].json"}, strict = false, dryRun = false, glue={"com.test.demostore.stepdefinition"}, tags= {"@SmokeTest"} ) public class [FEATURE_FILE_NAME] { }

That's cool, @amaravathi ! Thanks a lot for your detailed post. I will try that for sure and think about a good way to integrate it into Cucable if possible.

[bischoffdev]

This will be moved to the main README.md file for the next version 0.1.7

[bischoffdev]

I rewrote the readme file and included the description on how to generate features and runners in Maven target. Thanks again for your help, @amaravathi !

I recently came across Cucable plugin and it works great for me, but I am facing one problem, that is how to attach screenshot in the report against any particular step.
