How to deploy Localstack in cucumber tests

Question

I am trying to use Localstack to emulate AWS in my integration tests. The authors instruct us to integrate Localstack with our Java tests as follows:

import cloud.localstack.LocalstackTestRunner;
import cloud.localstack.TestUtils;

@RunWith(LocalstackTestRunner.class)
public class MyCloudAppTest {

However, my cucumber test is as follows:

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(  monochrome = true,
        features = "src/test/resources/",
        glue = "com/mydomain/services" )
public class MyFeatureTest {
}

Since I cannot have two RunWith annotations, can anyone suggest an alternative to have both Localstack and cucumber for testing?

Thank you for your help.

You can call cucumber using the Main class of cucumber.api.cli package in a junit test method. No runner is required. You can just use the localstack runwith annotation. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46807307/how-to-run-cucumber-feature-file-from-java-code-not-from-junit-runner/46824994#46824994 — Grasshopper, Apr 27 '19 at 05:25

I took the advice of @Grasshopper and got it working as follows:

@RunWith(LocalstackDockerTestRunner.class)
@LocalstackDockerProperties(services = {"dynamodb"})
public class MyFeatureTest {

    @Test
    public void test() throws IOException {
        String [] argv = new String[]{ "-g","com/mydomain/services","./src/test/resources/myFeature.feature"};
        ClassLoader contextClassLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
        cucumber.api.cli.Main.run(argv, contextClassLoader);
    }

}
