Overview

The Cucumber Report generation is actually an extension of the existing plugin with the only one new feature: the final output

Prerequisites

This report uses artifacts generated during Cucumber tests execution. So, in order to make this goal working you need:

  • Add goals performing Cucumber tests execution
  • Make your Cucumber tests producing JSON output

First point is done by adding the following dependencies:

        <dependencies>
            ....
                <dependency>
                        <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
                        <artifactId>cucumber-picocontainer</artifactId>
                        <version>1.1.5</version>
                        <scope>test</scope>
                </dependency>
                <dependency>
                        <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
                        <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId>
                        <version>1.1.5</version>
                        <scope>test</scope>
                </dependency>
                <dependency>
                        <groupId>junit</groupId>
                        <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
                        <version>4.11</version>
                        <scope>test</scope>
                </dependency>
                ....
        <dependencies>

Second point is about configuring the test class itself. E.g. it should have annotations with the content like: 

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@Cucumber.Options(
        format = {"json:target/cucumber.json"}
)
public class SystemOperationsTest {
}

Once these settings are available the Cucumber report generation goal can be invoked.

Generating Cucumber Report

The following example shows generation of the Cucumber results report:

        <reporting>
                <plugins>
                        <plugin>
                                <groupId>com.github.mkolisnyk</groupId>
                                <artifactId>sirius-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                                <version>1.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
                                <configuration>
                                        <jsonFile>target/cucumber.json</jsonFile>
                                </configuration>
                                <reportSets>
                                        <reportSet>
                                                <configuration />
                                                <reports>
                                                        <report>cucumber</report>
                                                </reports>
                                        </reportSet>
                                </reportSets>
                        </plugin>
                </plugins>
        </reporting>

The final report will be generated if we invoke the following Maven command:

mvn site:cucumber
