I downloaded the latest Cucumber Java version - 4.7.2, and am ale to run the cucumber test from IDE Intellij, everything is fine in IDE. However, if run from command line then it gives me error "io.cucumber.junit.UndefinedThrowable:"

Run test runner "RunCucumberTest" in IDE: OK

Cucumber-jvm Approach: 

java -cp "lib/cucumber-4.7.2/*" io.cucumber.core.cli.Main --glue au.com.demo.quality.stepdefinitions  --plugin pretty  --name "^demo test$" src/test/resources/features/DemoTest.feature

result: step undefined as above

JUnit Approach:

java -cp "../lib/cucumber-4.7.2/*;../out/production/demo" org.junit.runner.JUnitCore au.com.demo.quality.runners.RunCucumberTest

result: step undefined as above

Project structure:

Quality
-lib
-out
 --Production
   ---demo
   ......
-bdd
 --src
   ---test
      ----java
      ----resources

More details as shown in the screenshot below.

Cucumber cannot find StepDefinitions while running the code but manually using the option "Find Step" can find step definition

    Are you including your own code on the class path? – M.P. Korstanje Sep 11 '19 at 13:05
  • Yes, the classpath 'lib/cucumber-4.7.2/*" is for the required jar packages, there is an old cucumber java 1.2.5 installed in the classpath "lib/", so I moved all new version to "lib/cucumber-4.7.2/*", the other one is for the class file "RunCucumberTest.class". – Jeffgg Sep 11 '19 at 23:26

I figured it out. The step definition class is not able to extend another class, otherwise the step definitions wont be found.
