How to use convertValue method of net.serenitybdd.jbehave.converters.YearMonthConverter class

I solved this using the following hack (basically injecting the service(s) myself):

@ContextConfiguration(locations = "test-beans.xml", 
                      loader = TestContextLoader.class)
public class GreetingServiceTest extends SerenityStories {

    @Autowired
    private GreetingService greetingService;

    private String greeting;

    @When("I want a greeting")
    public void whenIWantAGreeting() {
        greeting = greetingService.getGreeting();
    }

    @Then("I shall be greeted with \"$greeting\"")
    public void thenIShallBeGreetedWith(String greeting) {
        assertEquals(greeting, this.greeting);
    }

    @Override
    public InjectableStepsFactory stepsFactory() {
        return new InstanceStepsFactory(configuration(), this);
    }

    @BeforeStories
    public final void beforeStories() {
        AutowireCapableBeanFactory beanFactory = getContext().getAutowireCapableBeanFactory();
        beanFactory.autowireBeanProperties(this, AutowireCapableBeanFactory.AUTOWIRE_NO, false);
        beanFactory.initializeBean(this, getClass().getName());
    }

    private ApplicationContext getContext() {
        return SpringClassRuleHack.getTestContextManager(getClass())
            .getTestContext()
            .getApplicationContext();
    }
}

SpringClassRuleHack (must be the same package as SpringClassRule to get access to the getTestContextManager method):

package org.springframework.test.context.junit4.rules;

import org.springframework.test.context.TestContextManager;

public final class SpringClassRuleHack {

   private SpringClassRuleHack() {}

   public static TestContextManager getTestContextManager(Class<?> testClass) {
      return SpringClassRule.getTestContextManager(testClass);
   }

}

I'm getting the Spring context through SpringClassRule so that it gets cached by Spring, letting Spring control when the context needs reloading (if I have understood correctly).

I'm not entirely satisfied with this solution and I suspect it's not equivalent to enabling SpringClassRule/SpringMethodRule in the standard way, but it works in my case.

I upgraded Intellij and the issue was resolved.

You can do following in build.gradle, so when ever you run

task runSpecificRunner(type: Test) {

    include '**/**YOURRunnerName.class'
}

Then run ./gradlew runSpecificRunner aggregate, you will see only that specific runner will be executed.

I found the answer. The driver confguration used by the framework is held in the serenity.properties file associated with the project.

If you need to continue after a failed step, you should use soft assertions.

Reading the extra comment / improves question, it sounds indeed like an Integration Test.

There are some need Integration Test libraries like JBehave, Serenity, Cucumber, etc which would probably better for setting this up.

With TestNG, you could create 3 tests, where each next test depends on the previous test. See code sample below, from testng dependency test

package com.mkyong.testng.examples.dependency;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class App {

    @Test
    public void method1() {
        System.out.println("This is method 1");
    }

    @Test(dependsOnMethods = { "method1" })
    public void method2() {
        System.out.println("This is method 2");
    }

}

Here the most simple dependency is show. See the sample code for more complex cases, like groups etc. For setting up two test classes each with their own @Factory

This worked to me:

The JBehave API seems to have changed, it seems you now need to add the ScenarioType parameter:

@BeforeScenario(uponType = ScenarioType.ANY)
public void setTheStage() {
    OnStage.setTheStage(new OnlineCast());
}

I solved the issue by upgrading the Serenity Maven Plugin from:

2.0.89

to:

2.1.8
