Skeleton project for TDD and BDD workshops

This is a simple Java and Maven-based skeleton project used in TDD and BDD workshops. It uses:

• Java 11 or higher
• JUnit 5
• Mockito 5
• Cucumber 7

The project uses standard maven file structure conventions:

• src/main/java
• src/main/resources
• src/test/java
• src/test/resources

Here are the primary files:

• pom.xml - maven POM used to retrieve dependencies and build the project
• other/build.gradle - a (not always up-to-date) Gradle build file for those who would prefer to use Gradle instead of Maven
• src/test/java/training/tdd/unit/JUnitSetupTest.java - a JUnit 5 unit test that confirms all dependencies are loaded and working
• src/test/resources/features/selfCheckout.feature - Cucumber feature file with a single scenario
• src/test/java/features/SelfCheckoutSteps.java - Cucumber step definition file with empty steps for the above scenario
• src/test/java/features/CucumberAT.java - Cucumber test runner file
• src/test/resources/junit-platform.properties - JUnit 5 properties are set here. Primarily used for Cucumber test runner properties

To get started:

1. Build the project:

• mvn clean install (or, gradle clean build)

should run without errors.

2. The project should load properly in your IDE

• check dependencies to make sure there are no errors
• verify "Cucumber for Java" IntelliJ plugin is installed and working:
  • selfCheckout.feature should have syntax highlighting
  • navigation from feature file to step definition works - i.e., ctl-space to navigate from any Given/When/Then step to the associate step definition method
  • running Cucumber from the IDE works - i.e., run Cucumber tests directly from selfCheckout.feature
