Question

I am trying to test some API's using jbehave. While trying to configure my Jbehave stories i am running into the following error (attached below): I even tried using --illegal-access=permit. I used the command java -cp out com.example.prederiq.PrederaAiq.StoryConfiguration (where com.example.prederiq.PrederaAiq is my package name and StoryConfiguration is my class name that i want to configure) on my windows command prompt but it threw a classNotFoundException. i even navigated to the folder where my Configuration file is present using cd ubuntu commands and tried to use this command but it still did not work.

My StoryConfiguration class:

public class StoryConfiguration extends JUnitStories {

    @Override
    public Configuration configuration() {
        return new MostUsefulConfiguration().useStoryLoader(new LoadFromClasspath(this.getClass())).useStoryReporterBuilder(new StoryReporterBuilder().withCodeLocation(CodeLocations.codeLocationFromClass(this.getClass())).withDefaultFormats().withFormats(StoryReporterBuilder.Format.CONSOLE, StoryReporterBuilder.Format.HTML));
    }

    @Override
    public InjectableStepsFactory stepsFactory() {
        return new InstanceStepsFactory(configuration(),new PrederaAiqApplicationTests());
    }

    @Override
    public List<String> storyPaths() {
       return Arrays.asList("com/example/prederiq/PrederaAiq/test.story");
    }
}
