Hi, I am Raghav. You can follow the notes here:

3 - When to use Command Line
4 - How - Step by Step Demo

#CucumberJavaTutorials
Running your tests or features from command line or terminal without using the IDE or GUI
Command Line
Terminal
Console

Why to use Command Line
No dependency on IDE or GUI
Useful in integrations with other processes
Continuous Integration, Delivery and Deployment
Easier & Faster
Consumes less memory

When to use Command Line
Whenever you need to run the tests faster without opening IDE
Whenever you need to do integrations with other processes
CI, CD, DevOps
Whenever using CI tools like Jenkins
Whenever you need any batch or scheduled execution
Whenever you are done with your test creation and setup

Step 1 - Right-click on the project and select Run As - Maven test
Step 2 - Check the console logs
Step 3 - Troubleshoot and correct the errors
Step 4 - Open CMD prompt
Step 5 - Check MAVEN is installed mvn -version
Step 6 - CD to the project location
Step 7 - Run command mvn test

By default mvn test will run the files with naming syntax
**/Test*.java

Overriding Cucumber Options from Command Line
mvn test

Running with multiple parameters
Can run with multiple parameters from command line

example
mvn test

Hi Raghav, thanks you very much for informative video. I really appreciate this session it's simple as you explain it.

Hi Raghav sir, The videos are quite helpful. I have couple of questions:
1) Can the background be used across multiple feature files?
2) In my project I have to cache couple of values in run time and use it in across multiple feature files. Is it possible? If so could you please provide a video for it?

You mentioned but did not show how to run a specific runner. If it is, for example, in

Great Info. Very useful and clearly explained. Thanks Raghav.🙌

Hi Raghav, I using this command on cli mvn test -Dcucumber.options="-tags @regressionUI"
but facing an issue like this

[ERROR] Unknown lifecycle phase ".options=-tags @regressionUI". You must specify a valid lifecycle phase or a goal in the format <plugin-prefix>:<goal> or <plugin-
Available lifecycle phases are: validate, initialize, generate-sources, process-sources, generate-resourc

If anyone has trouble with the commands execution those are the new command (at least for junit), I didn't check for testNG :

For example, if you are using Maven and want to run a subset of scenarios tagged with @smoke:

Supported properties are:

# true or false. default: false
cucumber.execution.dry-run= # true or false. default: false
cucumber.execution.limit= # number of scenarios to execute (CLI only).
cucumber.execution.order= # lexical, reverse, random or random:[seed] (CLI only). default: lexical
cucumber.execution.wip= # true or false. default: false.
cucumber.features= # comma separated paths to feature files. example: path/to/example.feature, path/to/other.feature
cucumber.filter.name= # regex. example: .*Hello.*
cucumber.filter.tags= # tag expression. example: @smoke and not @slow
cucumber.glue= # comma separated package names. example: com.example.glue
cucumber.plugin= # comma separated plugin strings. example: pretty, json:path/to/report.json
cucumber.object-factory= # object factory class name. example: com.example.

Also a question for you @Raghav, do you know how can I cancel the execution for the tests inside a Test Class? The problem is that if I want to execute only a feature, it executes also all of the @Test annotations from project, I have a separate class where I have some tests like this, ex:


@Test
public void throws IOException {
Assert.assertTrue("Searching for something is not successful", Login - Practice Test Automation"));
}

[mostafanader]

Hey Raghav,
I really appreciate this session its as simple as you explain it !

Can you tell me when will the hooks session be available ?

[SarangHoley]

Thanks, @Raghav for taking this topic into consideration & making a video on this. Its really helpful 😊👍👍

[saikiranpalugula]

Hi Raghav, thank you very much for the informative video.
At 8:04 i observed couple of packages like "steps for background" and "steps for hooks"
and multiple test runner files as well. In which video did you explain that? Please let us know

I saw the hooks video but these packages were not present in that one.

[ChiragVermaVlogs]

Is the 'T' always in capital for runner file ? or 't' in smaller case also fine ?

[mayurigawali]

hey i am getting an error in console that is MojoFailureException what should i do

[sappanimuthubalasubramania]

Hi Raghav,
Hope all are well, This is amazing video but I have one doubt. I.e, here we are using the multiple -Dcucumber.options but it runs the only one option(35:18 to 36:05), is it correct. Then what is the difference between multiple options and a single option?

Please clarify the same. Thanks in advance.
