How to use runningWithAnnotatedEmbedderRunner method of net.serenitybdd.jbehave.embedders.monitors.CompositeEmbedderMonitor class

I had the same problem with a similar project. The reason why surefire didn't count the serenity test results was because the POM contained JUnit and TestNG artifacts. The TestNG artifact was added via a parent POM.

After I removed the TestNG dependency the report showed the number of tests executed.

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 could not make it run with using configuredEmbedder() but by adding -Dmetafilter="+working -finished" as goals in my mvn run configurations and using the tags @working for scenarios I'm working with and which I want to run and @finsihed for scenarios I don't want to execute. Still I have to change the run configuration if I want to change the meta tags so it is not very comfortable but still I get what I was looking for.

A issue has been raised (including quick fix) with the bdd serenity-jbehave version 1.8.0 and higher:

issue #109

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

My bad, it appears to be a POM.xml configuration issue:

When using Serenity Rest-Assured, the POM.xml cannot contain the standalone Rest-Assured Dependency. Having both Serenity Rest-Assured and the standalone Rest-Assured libraries in the POM.xml will result in the error.

Enter the following property in serenity.properties file

webdriver.base.url = http://en.wiktionary.org

In your page object define the DefaultUrl like this

@DefaultUrl("/wiki/Wiktionary")
public class DictionaryPage extends PageObject {


}

Serenity will construct the complete URL while calling DefaultUrl.

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.
