I believe this is a very particular case, but I am building some cucumber tests for some third-party applications we use.
Since I am not really testing my own application, I created a maven project and configured cucumber to run in the main folder (not the test folder).
This is my entrypoint class:
@SpringBootApplication
public class ExecutableMain implements CommandLineRunner {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(ExecutableMain.class, args);
}
@Override
public void run(String... args) {
// args logic...
JUnitCore.runClasses(MyCucumberTest.class);
}
}
And my test class:
@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(
plugin = {"pretty", "html:target/cucumber", "json:target/cucumber/cucumber.json"},
glue = {"cucumber.app", "cucumber.steps"}
)
public class MyCucumberTest {
@AfterClass
public static void tearDown(){
// quit the browser
}
}
This currently works fine, but I want to add spring features to my tests. Specifically, I want to autowire something in my cucumber steps.
Stepdefs:
public class MyStepdefs {
@Autowired
private ConfigProperties properties;
@Given("^Something")
public void example() {
//...
}
I searched around and found people saying I should add the ContextConfiguration annotation in the steps. I did it like so:
@ContextConfiguration(classes = ExecutableMain.class, loader = SpringBootContextLoader.class)
public class MyStepdefs {
But this resulted in a loop during start up.
Can I achieve what I need?
