Cucumber in Spring Boot Application

Running Cucumber within a Spring Boot application is tricky becuase cucumber-java performs its own class scanning, and translation between paths and class names. With Spring boot's nested JAR-in-a-jar and BOOT-INF/classes path, getting Cucumber's scanning to work within a Spring Boot application is tricky.

NOTE: This is not an example of using Cucumber to integration test a Spring Boot application. Rather, it is the integration necessary to use the Cucumber runtime within a Spring Boot application itself (i.e. scope=runtime, not scope=test).

To Use

ClassLoader classLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();

SpringBootCucumberResourceLoader resourceLoader = new SpringBootCucumberResourceLoader(classLoader);
ClassFinder classFinder = new SpringBootCucumberResourceLoader(classLoader);

String[] args = { "--glue", "classpath:com.artnaseef.cucumber.springboot.example" };
RuntimeOptions runtimeOptions = new RuntimeOptions(Arrays.asList(args));

cucumber.runtime.Runtime runtime = new Runtime(resourcesLoader, classFinder, classLoader, runtimeOptions);
