Hi,
I am getting StringIndexOutOfBoundsException while using serenity-cucumber6 with scala.
It's the same issue we had with serenity-cucumber5, we fixed that in cucumber5 but it seems the fix is not in cucumber6.

Reference:
serenity-bdd/serenity-core#2152

@wakaleo Getting "net.thucydides.core.webdriver.DriverConfigurationError: Could not instantiate class org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver
Caused by: net.thucydides.core.webdriver.DriverConfigurationError: Could not instantiate new WebDriver instance of type class org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver (Trailing char < > at index 4: true ). See below for more details.
Caused by: java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Trailing char < > at index 4: true " trying to initialize chromedriver.

Note:

1. Kept chromedriver.exe into project root folder
2. passed below value in serenity.properties file
   driver=chrome
   drivers.windows.webdriver.chrome.driver=chromedriver.exe
3. Using serenity-cucumber6
4. Getting "Uninitialised WebDriverFacade" value for driver.
5. ChromeBrowser version: 88.0.4324.104
6. ChormeDriver version: 88.0.4324.96

Please let me know in-case of any other additional information required

Lets say, there are total 10 Scenarios in the feature file & 1 Scenario consist of 3 examples. When the main runner file completes execution, one of the 3 examples case fails due to random issue.
When the 'ReRunFailedCases' runner is executed then the failed example passes. Post execution of 'ReRunFailedCases' runner, in the serenity report there should be total 12 results including 3 data records but there are only 9 records, with Scenario outline showing only 1 example which was ran again due to failure.

Serenity Main runner:->

@RunWith(CucumberWithSerenity.class)
    @CucumberOptions(
            plugin = {"pretty",
                    "rerun:target/failed-scenarios/failed-feature1.txt"},
            features = "src/test/resources/features/feature1.feature"
    )
public class TestSuite{}

In case of failure runner:->

@RunWith(CucumberWithSerenity.class)
@CucumberOptions(
        plugin = {"pretty",
                "rerun:target/failed-scenarios/failed-feature1.txt"},
        features = {"@target/failed-scenarios/failed-feature1.txt"}
)
public class ReRunFailedCases {}

The first runner runs with 'gradle clean test' and 2nd runner just as 'gradle test'

Hello,

I'm currently facing an issue when using Cucumber with Serenity.
io.cucumber.java.PendingException are thrown by Cucumber for @manual scenarios

To reproduce

Download the serenity-cucumber-starter and add a test.feature file :

Feature: Do a dummyfeature

  @manual
  @manual-result:passed
  Scenario: This is a dummy scenario
    Given some manual things
    When doing something manually
    Then we must see something

Running the tests using mvn clean verify "-Dcucumber.features=.\src\test\resources\features\search\test.feature" gives the following output :

A possible workaround might be to run cucumber in non-strict mode, but this is now deprecated and does not work :

@CucumberOptions(
        strict = false
)

Is there a way to avoid the errors thrown by Cubumber for the @manual tests ?

Thanks

Lets say, I have written a two different scenario line as below
Scenario: number 1
Given Ben opens reports
And he chooses "report type 1"
When he selects filters as ......

Scenario: number 2
Given Lisa opens reports
And she chooses "report type 2"
When she selects rows as ......

In above example, step definition is same for 'When'; hence i m trying to use non capturing group as
@when({actor} selects (?:filters|rows) as)
public void methodName(){
....}

and I have a defined actor paramter as below:
@ParameterType(".*")
public Actor actor(String actorName) {
return OnStage.theActorCalled(actorName);
}

however, using {actor} in the step definition shows that there is no step definition mapped to a scenario line. So tried below:
@when("^(.*) selects (?:filters|rows) as$")
public void methodName(){
....}

After using (.*) instead of {actor}, cucumber shows that the step definition is present but when i run the code it throws me error as -
io.cucumber.core.exception.CucumberException: Could not convert arguments for step [^(.*) selects (?:filters|rows) as$]

can you please suggest?

Issue: After Generating serenity summary report with property 'serenity.report.url', every scenario's will have hyperlinks. But when i clicked on them it gave an error as 'Your file couldn’t be accessed It may have been moved, edited or deleted.' Where as 'View full Report' works perfectly fine.

Seems to be issue with hyperlinks of individual scenarios (links on case 1, case 2, case 3 etc).

Here is the summary sample screenshot:

Q 1: Is there a way i can not have hyperlinks for each scenarios (as they are not working), but keep view full report??

Q 2: Summary report has a heading 'Serenity Summary Report', but in serenity BDD book i can see project name mentioned instead of serenity summary report. Can you please share the property name to set report name in the heading?

Environment:
serenity.version: 2.3.6
serenity.maven.version: 2.3.6
serenity.cucumber.version: 2.3.6
junit: 4.12

Steps to reproduce:

1. Pull the project from below github url
   https://gitlab.com/alltempprojects/tempuiwebjvjunitcucumberserenity.git
2. Run VerifyLinksUnderMyAccountInFooter.feature from feature file itself

Expected:
Feature should be run successfully with out any errors

Actual:
Getting below error
net.serenitybdd.screenplay.actors.NoStageException: No stage available - it looks like you haven't called the setTheStage() method before calling this one.

Note1: Run got success with out any errors when running from TestRunner file or mvn command

See the snapshot for reference

Currently we cannot use the new format to include the plugin in a project:

plugins {
id 'net.serenity-bdd.serenity-gradle-plugin' version '2.2.8'
}

Here are the instructions for adding a plugin to the gradle portal:
https://plugins.gradle.org/docs/submit

This would be very useful for me in cleaning up my gradle scripts so I could remove the buildscript { } block.

Thanks!

In the "old" regex style, I could catch one of the provided, allowed String versions. How could I do that in Cucumber Expressions? For example following step definition will allow me only to provide "red" or "Blue" String and catch which of them were provided:

@Given(^I like '(red|Blue)' color$)
public void performAction(String oneOftheColors) {}

I know that in Cucumber Expressions I could just use

@Given("I like red/blue colour")

But I need also to know which value was provided in step / catch it.

Is it possible in Cucumber Expressions?

See serenity-bdd/serenity-cucumber5#3 for starters.

I switched my tests from Cucumber 2 (Serenity 2.1.5) to Cucumber 6.
I've noticed that empty strings values in the datatable are handled in different way than previously. For example

Given myActor checks values in datatable:
   | column1 | someValue     |
   | column2 | differentValue |
   | column3 |                        |

I am almost 100% sure that in in Serenity 2.1.5 column3 value was mapped as an empty String.
However, now it is mapped as NULL.

1. Is it a bug or expected behaviour?
2. Should I expect that always an empty column will be mapped as NULL?
3. Are there any placeholders for empty string or NULL values or should I create my own (and handle them in steps definitions)?

Hi,

Duplicate entries of feature files are coming the overall summary. I tried moving features folder outside resources too; but in that case requirements are showing feature files, but it opens a blank feature page.
Is there any workaround here ?

Why do you explicitly name cucumber version in artifact and repository name? serenity-cucumberX is deprecated when serenity-cucumberY is out, and cucumber versions change quite frequently.

cucumber-jvm 7 is currently in RC1, and would promptly require a new serenity-cucumber7.

Hello,

I have configured my intellij feature file as described in this post. This works fine when running the whole feature, or when running from Maven, but I get the following error when I explicitly run a scenario from a .feature file.

Cucumber has support for using lambdas to create step definitions (https://cucumber.io/docs/cucumber/step-definitions/). When I attempt to use this with serentity-cucumber6, I get the following error "java.lang.NullPointerException: No BaseStepListener has been registered".

When I remove the serenity dependencies and using the standard cucumber runner it works as expected.

Reproducing:

1. Clone https://github.com/Mistborn94/serenity-cucumber-java8-issue
2. Run mvn clean verify

Issue1. How to prevent the multi level logs in serenity reports?
logs are displaying two times, I want to log only one error log. see the snapshot for reference in (reports>serenity-reports folder).
Ex: Test is failed at 'Sendkeys' method in 'SeleniumLib' class.
Note:'Sendkeys' is overloaded method in 'SeleniumLib' class.
command used to run chrome: mvn verify -Drunner=TestRunnerForWeb -Denvironment=cr

Issue2. What it the serenity property for running edge in headless?

Issue3. How to use dynamic property in 'serenity.conf' file.
Ex: path for 'appium.app' property is need to use dynamically when running in jenkins.
Tests are running fine in local, but failing in jenkins due to absolute path for 'appium.app' property in 'serenity.conf' file

Issue4. I want to start/stop the appium server before/after running the android tests.
for that I have created BeforeClass, AfterClass methods in TestRunnerForMobile.java runner class.
Ran the 'TestRunnerForMobile' runner class.
But getting null value for 'webdriver.driver' property at line 24 in 'TestRunnerForMobile' class.
How to get 'webdriver.driver' property in runner class?

Using the gradle-test-sets plugin causes serenity to omit some pages: the Requirements Overview tab is empty and the Features tab is missing entirely.

I've provided minimal test cases in the attachment. default-location has features in src/test and produces the expected serenity website. custom-location has features in src/cucumberTest and its serenity website is missing some elements.

I want to share driver object to other class. For example, I have created some common methods in 'SeleniumLib' class.

I have created constructor in homepage and passing driver to 'SeleniumLib' class. After that trying to use 'SeleniumLib' class, but it throws null pointer. Can you please help me to share the driver object in "SeleniumLib" class.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Pull the project from below github url
   https://gitlab.com/alltempprojects/tempuiwebjvjunitcucumberserenityv2
   2.Run VerifySearchInHomePage.feature
   Observe that, "When User enter "T-shirt" in search box" step is failed due to driver is null

Expected:
step should run successfully

Actual:
Getting null pointer exception for driver

In our organization we are filter the tests to run based on the test cases defined in Zephyr.
We would like to filter running only the scenarios that are in the define the test cycle.

Any way for the framework to expose an Filter interface to implement so the runner can apply(TestTags tags) to see if it should run

Currently, Serenity uses the URI path of a feature to create the story that will be used for reporting, this causes that if a feature is inside a folder that contains special characters like spaces or Latin accents, then the URI is encoded which cause that at the end the report presents duplicated features.

Hi,
I have upgraded my project's dependencies to latest Cucumber and Serenity versions. After that I observed the parallel test execution using serenity.fork.count> 1 does not work in Jenkins as well as local. The sliced runner example given in your project directly using io.cucumber.junit.CucumberWithSerenity, which is the super class of net.serenitybdd.cucumber.CucumberWithSerenity. With the given information, could you please help me resolve the issue?

Version of Gradle plugin: net.serenity-bdd:serenity-gradle-plugin:2.6.0
Version of Gradle wrapper: gradle-6.4-bin.zip
Given below are dependencies:
testImplementation('io.cucumber:cucumber-java:6.10.4')
testImplementation('io.cucumber:cucumber-junit:6.10.4')
testImplementation('io.cucumber:cucumber-java8:6.10.4')
testImplementation group: 'io.cucumber', name: 'cucumber-testng', version: '4.8.1'
testImplementation(group: 'net.serenity-bdd', name: 'serenity-core', version: '2.6.0')
testImplementation(group: 'net.serenity-bdd', name: 'serenity-cucumber6', version: '2.6.0')
testImplementation(group: 'net.serenity-bdd', name: 'serenity-rest-assured', version: '2.6.0')

Below is the test task I am using in Gradle:
test {
systemProperties System.properties
List runners = file('demo/runners').listFiles()
.collect { it.name }
.findAll { it =~ 'SerenityRunner' }
.collect { it.take(it.lastIndexOf('.')) } as List
int runnerCount = runners.size();
runners.clear();
for (int i = 1; i <= runnerCount; i++) {
runners.add("SerenityRunner" + i);
}
maxParallelForks = System.properties.'serenity.fork.count' as Integer ?: 1
maxParallelForks = [maxParallelForks, runners.size()].min()
systemProperty 'serenity.fork.count', maxParallelForks
maxParallelForks.times { filter.includeTestsMatching runners[it] }
ignoreFailures = true
testLogging.exceptionFormat = 'full'
}

Below is a Sliced runner class and an inherited Serenity runner class

import net.serenitybdd.cucumber.CucumberWithSerenity;
import net.thucydides.core.guice.Injectors;
import net.thucydides.core.util.EnvironmentVariables;

public class SlicedRunner1 extends CucumberWithSerenity{
public SlicedRunner1(Class clazz) throws Throwable {
super(clazz);
Injectors.getInjector().getInstance(EnvironmentVariables.class)
.setProperty("serenity.fork.number", "1");
}
}

import demo.Parallel.SlicedRunner1;
import io.cucumber.junit.CucumberOptions;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

@RunWith(SlicedRunner1.class)
@CucumberOptions(features = "src/test/resources/features",
glue = {"demo.steps"}
)

public class SerenityRunner1 {
}

Is there a Cucumber Alternative for story.timeout.in.secs usually found in serenity.properties?

I have the following scenario:

@usuarios-5
  Scenario: Eliminar usuarios
    Given el usuario ramiro se autentica en la plataforma de comercios de zunify y tiene creado un usuario
      | nombre             | correo             | usuario       | nombreArchivo                 |
      | Actor automatizado | [email protected] | UsuarioBorrar | json/usuario_por_defecto.json |

and their stepDefinition:

 @Dado("el usuario {word} se autentica en la plataforma de comercios de zunify y tiene creado un usuario")
    public void elUsuarioSeAutenticaEnLaPlataformaDeComerciosDeZunifyYTieneCreadoUnUsuario(String usuario,List<UsuarioComercial> listUsuario){
        infoUsuario = listUsuario.get(0);
...
}

model class UsuarioComercial():

public class UsuarioComercial {

    private static final String FORMATO_MENSAJE_ERROR_EN_JSON = "error al obtener json";
    private String nombre;
    private String usuario;
    private String cedula;
    private String tipoUsuario;
    private String correo;
    private String nombreArchivo;
    private JsonObject jsonCreacion;
    private String sucursales;
    private String estadoUsuario;

....... getters and setters....
}

but when a run it I get the following ERROR

What can i do????

15:15:39.536 [Test worker] INFO  i.c.core.plugin.SerenityReporter - Running feature from file:///D:/serenity-cucumber-starter/src/test/resources/features/search/search_by_keyword.feature
    15:15:39.536 [Test worker] WARN  i.c.core.plugin.SerenityReporter - Feature from file:///D:/serenity-cucumber-starter/src/test/resources/features/search/search_by_keyword.feature is not under the 'features' directory. Requirements report will not be correctly generated!

This happens on Windows using the vanilla serenity-cucumber-starter project.

In SerenityReporter the following code checks for the existence of \features\ in the URI ....
The usage of File.separatorChar is incorrect as the URI will always contain a forward slash.

        String featuresRoot = File.separatorChar + FEATURES_ROOT_PATH + File.separatorChar;
        if (pathURIAsString.contains(featuresRoot)) {

Command used to run the build:

gradlew build test aggregate reports

Environment:
serenity.version: 2.3.6
serenity.maven.version: 2.3.6
serenity.cucumber.version: 2.3.6
junit: 4.12

Steps to reproduce:

1. Pull the project from below github url
   https://gitlab.com/alltempprojects/tempuiwebjvjunitcucumberserenity.git
2. Run VerifyContactEmailInFooter.feature

Observe that, Then Verify test name as "VerifyContactEmailInFooterFeature" step is failed due to data is not shared between steps.

Expected:
Then Verify test name as "VerifyContactEmailInFooterFeature" step should be passed

Actual:
Then Verify test name as "VerifyContactEmailInFooterFeature" step is FAILED with null value

Note1: Used "TestContext" class in common folder to share data between steps
Note2: For reference see the results in "reports>serenity-reports" folder
Note3: It is working fine, while using with below 2 lines of code.
Serenity.setSessionVariable("testName").to(name);
String actualName = Serenity.sessionVariableCalled("testName");
