How to use generateReports method of net.serenitybdd.junit.runners.SerenityParameterizedRunner class

Find the solution for parallel execution with cucumber 7 and serenity junit 4. Below pom.xml is tested and working to execute parallel. According to this pom.xml to execute two ways:

1. locally - add to your runner in tags tag you want to run and then execute this command mvn clean verify

2. mvn clean verify -Dtags="@yourtagHere"

Working pom.xml:

See https://github.com/serenity-bdd/serenity-core/#cucumber-4. I expect Serenity will only work with JUnit 5 in vintage mode.

Unfortunately Serenity is not supported by basic JUnit 5 so I had to use JUnit 5 Vintage only. It can run JUnit 4 tests. It works now.

You can have your own runner in serenity and instantiate driver with your desired capabilities for it. By doing so you can configure and redirect logs.

@RunWith(CucumberWithSerenity.class)
@CucumberOptions(
        plugin = {"pretty"},
        features = "<feature file path>",
        glue = {"<steps path as comma separated values"}
)
public class MyRunner {

       }

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.

For further reference on all the properties available in serenity.properties please refer link below https://github.com/serenity-bdd/serenity-documentation/blob/master/src/asciidoc/system-props.adoc

JDelorean the reason as far as i know is that alert has been popped up before selenium code reacted to the alert code. Hence its wise to add some delay in between the alert code. Something like i did as follows

@Test public void receiptDateFieldIncorrectDateFormat() {

    page.open();

    steps.inputIntoReceiptDateField("99999999");

    steps.clickSubmitButton();

Thread.sleep(3000);

    String firstMsg = page.getAlert().getText();

    page.getAlert().accept();

Thread.sleep(3000);
    String secondMsg = page.getAlert().getText();

    page.getAlert().accept();

    Assert.assertEquals("The year is invalid.", firstMsg);

    Assert.assertEquals("Invalid Receipt Date format.", secondMsg);

}

or you can use something like

> WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15);  
> wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());

Check https://github.com/temyers/cucumber-jvm-parallel-plugin There is stated:

As of cucumber-jvm:4.0.0 parallel execution is supported natively by cucumber. As such, upgrading to Cucumber 4.0.0 is recommended and this plugin is no longer maintained.

So consider leave cucumber-jvm-parallel-plugin

It looks like you have in your pom.xml something like

<tags>"~@ignore"</tags>

try to change it to

    <tags>
      <tag>~@ignore</tag>
    </tags>

BTW proper new style is now not @ignore check https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/tree/master/tag-expressions#migrating-from-old-style-tags

If you are using Maven take a look at Maven Failsafe plugin Rerun Failing Tests feature:

http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-failsafe-plugin/examples/rerun-failing-tests.html

You're using the wrong value for parallel. You have to set it to methods or both. Otherwise Surefire will run all tests of your runner class serially.

https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-jvm/tree/main/cucumber-junit

Cucumber JUnit supports parallel execution of feature files across multiple threads. To enable this with maven set the parallel property to either methods or both.
