Cucumber-Eclipse

Eclipse plugin for Cucumber.

Installation and further information

Please head over to the plugin website for more information.

After you install the Cucumber-Eclipse plugin, you can use it to run Cucumber-JVM. To do this, you will need to install all the libraries you want to use for Cucumber-JVM into your Eclipse project's build-path libraries. The likely candidates and their locations are in the download target at the cucumber-java-skeleton example at GitHub.

Create a new feature file by selecting New => File from the menu and naming it with a ".feature" suffix to bring up the Feature Editor. After typing in the Gherkin code for a test, select Run => Run to invoke Cucumber-JVM on that feature. This will also create a run configuration, which you can modify and rename by selecting Run => Run Configurarations.... Tags are not available in Cucumber-Eclipse, but you can organize your features into directories and select the Feature Path that you want the run configuration to use. You can execute run configurations from the Run => Run History menu.

Another alternative is to use Cucumber-Eclipse for editing feature files and getting the generated step-definition stubs, but then running a Junit file with a @RunWith(cucumber.class) annotation similar to the cucumber-java-skeleton RunCukesTest.java. The @CucumberOptions most useful are

  • Run the feature or all features below the directory

    features = {"featurePath/dir1", "featurePath2/dir/one_more.feature", ...}
  • Run all features with the given tag

    tags = {"@tag1", "@tag2", ...}
  • Use the listed formatter

    format = "progress"
  • Find the step definition and hooks below the given directory

    glue = "my_feature_steps/dir"

The full option list can be found at CucumberOptions
