Auto Generate Runner File in Cucumber


Auto Generate Runner File in Cucumber
As we all are aware Runner file is the heart of any cucumber project so creating it every time manually corresponding to each feature file is going to be a cumbersome task. 


Let’s imagine a scenario where we have 100 feature file present in our project and every time we need to create corresponding runner file to execute that feature file is going to take a huge amount of testing effort.

To solve all this issue one of the solutions is Auto Generating cucumber Runner file using cucumber-Jvm-Parallel-Plugin.To More know about this plugin please click here.




Before going into the implementation part let’s look into my project structure


To Implement auto-generate Cucumber file we need to follow the below steps:

1)     Inside our POM.xml file, we need to add Cucumber-JVM-Parallel Plugin.

2)     In that inside execution id and goal should be generateRunner.


3)     Rest all fields are very much self-explanatory I have also put a comment in the plugin section as well.



4)     Now once we execute our POM.Xml file we will see that automatically all our runner files are generated corresponding to feature file defined in Cucumber JVM parallel Plugin.

In this case, 4 Runner Files are auto-generated corresponding to my 4 feature files.
