How to execute some code after Cucumber report is built? - junit

Question

I use Cucumber for jUnit runner to run BDD tests like this:
#RunWith(Cucumber.class)
#CucumberOptions(
format = {"pretty", "json:target/cucumber.json"},
glue = {"com.company.bdd.steps"},
features = {"classpath:bdd-scenarios"},
tags = {"~#skip"}
)
public class CucumberTests {
}
I would like to have beautiful HTML reports from https://github.com/damianszczepanik/cucumber-reporting
And i made jUnit #AfterClass method:
#AfterClass
public static void buildReport() throws Exception {
List<String> srcReportJson = Collections.singletonList("target/cucumber.json");
Configuration configuration = new Configuration(new File("target"), "AEOS BDD Integration Tests");
new ReportBuilder(srcReportJson, configuration).generateReports();
}
The problem is that cucumber.json is empty when #AfterClass method executes. Hence i can't build pretty HTML report.
Is there any hook which i can use to execute some code after cucumber json report is already built?
PS: Cucumber v.1.1.8 is used and Java 1.7 so i was not able to try ExtendedCucumberRunner

Answer 1

Have you considered adding shutdown hook? Here is an example on how to add one. Code in run() method supposed to be executed before JVM shuts down.

Answer 2

You can take a look at custom formatter of cucumber:

Thank you for your suggestions but I just decided to use already existing Maven plugin and execute it's goal right after test goal.

wjpowell posted this suggestion in the cucumber-jvm issues:
"You don't need to do this in cucumber. Use the #beforeclass and #afterclass annotation from within the JUnit test used to run the cucumber tests. This has the benefit of running only for the features specified by the paths or tags options.
#RunWith(Cucumber.class)
#Cucumber.Options(format = {"html:target/cucumber-html-report", "json-pretty:target/cucumber-json-report.json"})
public class RunCukesTest {
#BeforeClass
public static void setup() {
System.out.println("Ran the before");
}
#AfterClass
public static void teardown() {
System.out.println("Ran the after");
}
}
