Is it possible to generate java test stub files from cucumber gherkin feature file?

Question

Instead of reading the feature file, writing the name of the methods, add the right annotations and variables I want to "compile" the feature file and generate the java test file automatically.

Is it possible? Do you know of a tool that can do that?

Answer 1

If you run Cucumber-JVM it will generate snippets for each undefined step. You can cut and paste these into a class of your choosing.

Running inside IntelliJ you can use Alt-Return to generate a definition for a step. There are plugins for Eclipse that do this too, but I haven't used them recently.

Answer 2

you can set dryRun=true which should show you all missing steps.

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)

@CucumberOptions(  monochrome = true,
                         tags = "@tags",
                     features = "src/test/resources/features/",
                       format = { "pretty","html: cucumber-html-reports",
                                  "json: cucumber-html-reports/cucumber.json" },
                        dryRun = true,
                         glue = "glue_code_folder" )

public class RunCucumber_Test {
  //Run this
}
