How to use usingTimeout method of net.serenitybdd.jbehave.embedders.monitors.ReportingEmbedderMonitor class

I upgraded Intellij and the issue was resolved.

You can retrieve the ExampleTable parameter like this (and have more readable given annotations):

@Given("that I sell the following fruit $exampleTable")
public void thatISellTheFollowingFruit(ExamplesTable exampleTable) {
    System.out.println("MyTable: "+exampleTable.asString());
}

If it doesn't find the declared method and tells you that this step is pending, you could check if you have a whitespace in your story after the word fruit:

Given that I sell the following fruit 

How to access the several rows and columns in your tables is written in the jBehave documentation under http://jbehave.org/reference/stable/tabular-parameters.html

You could also think about creating only one table instead of three:

Scenario: a scenario with embedded tables
Given I sell <product1> 
And the price is <product1price>
And I sell <product2> 
And the price is <product2price>
When I sell something
Then the total cost should be <total>
Examples:
| product1 | product1price | product2 | product2price | total |
| apples   | 5.00          | carrot   | 6.50          | 11.50 |
| apples   | 5.00          | pears    | 6.00          | 11.00 |
| potatoe  | 4.00          | carrot   | 9.50          | 13.50

The java code would have to look like this to access the parameters:

@Given("I sell <product1>")
public void iSellProduct(@Named("product1") String product1) {
    //do something with product1
}

Does this help? If not, what exactly does not work when you try to read the exampleTable?

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.

We found our issue was that in the Scenario line some of our test cases looked like

Scenario: XXX-#9056: Change password to special characters

Instead of

Scenario: XXX- 9056: Change password to special characters

So having the pound symbol(#) on the line with Scenario was messing it up. It doesn't matter if it is under the meta tag. Now none of the skipped test are showing in the report.

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 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.

Fail at end should work in your scenario.

Basic Def from Maven Specs :

--fail-at-end - if a particular module build fails, continue the rest of the reactor
           and report all failed modules at the end instead .

I resolved the above issue and I managed to generate the report in Jenkins. I did the following: 1)Changed the versions in properties in pom.xml file to the following:

serenity.version-1.2.4, serenity.maven.version-1.2.4, serenity.jbehave.version-1.1.0, a-maven-plugin.version=4.3.1

2)In Jenkins post build config, I changed the following:

<alwayslinktolastbuild> true </alwayslinktolastbuild> <keepAll>true</KeepAll> <reportDir>${WORKSPACE}/target/site/serenity</reportDir>

Hope this helps! Thanks! :)

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