I am trying to create an executable jar file for my maven cucumber project. The main class that the jar is trying to run:
public class ULPTestRunner {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
System.out.println("Jar Testing");
io.cucumber.core.cli.Main.main(
new String[]{
"features",
"-g", "stepImplementations"
}
);
}
When I run the class independently it is successful. However, when I run the jar file from target using the command : java -jar Test-maven-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar The first line gets executed then I get the following error when Jar tries to run the cucumber main class:
Jar Testing
