Runner Class

import io.cucumber.testng.*;
import org.testng.annotations.DataProvider;

@CucumberOptions(
        features = "src/test/resources/features",
        glue = {"com.shopease.steps", "com.shopease.hooks"},
        tags = "@regression and not @wip",
        plugin = {"pretty", "html:target/cucumber-report.html", "json:target/cucumber.json",
                  "rerun:target/failed-scenarios.txt"},
        monochrome = true)
public class TestRunner extends AbstractTestNGCucumberTests {

    @Override
    @DataProvider(parallel = true)            // run scenarios in parallel threads
    public Object[][] scenarios() {
        return super.scenarios();
    }
}

Example

Override the tags from the command line:

mvn test -Dcucumber.filter.tags="@smoke"

Example output

@smoke
Scenario: Valid login                                   # features/login.feature:9
  Given the user is on the login page                   # LoginSteps.onLoginPage()
  When the user logs in with "[email protected]" and "Secret@123" # LoginSteps.logsIn(String,String)
  Then the welcome message "Welcome, Asha" is shown     # LoginSteps.welcomeShown(String)

Note

Note: The rerun plugin writes failed scenarios to a file. A second runner with features = "@target/failed-scenarios.txt" re-runs only those, a common CI trick.
