Jenkins Cucumber net.masterthought.jenkins.CucumberReportPublisher aborted: NullPointerException

[PranavPatil]

Hi
I am having the similar issue and getting following exception in Jenkins while generating the reports.

[CucumberReportPublisher] Compiling Cucumber Html Reports ...
[CucumberReportPublisher] copying json from: file:/c:/.jenkins/workspace/cucumber-acceptance-tests/to reports directory: file:/e:/.jenkins/jobs/cucumber-acceptance-tests/builds/2012-11-01_16-13-02/cucumber-html-reports/
[CucumberReportPublisher] Generating HTML reports
ERROR: Publisher net.masterthought.jenkins.CucumberReportPublisher aborted due to exception
java.lang.NullPointerException
at net.masterthought.cucumber.util.Util.collectSteps(Util.java:104)

I am using the "cucumber-reports 0.0.14" plugin on Jenkins ver. 1.444.
I tried with setting "Json Reports Path" as "target" and empty. The "Plugin Url Path" is empty

The JSON File is in "ci/job/cucumber-acceptance-tests/ws/storytests/target/cucumber.json" as follows:

My pom.xml looks as follows:

org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-failsafe-plugin

**/AllStories.java

${project.build.sourceDirectory}
${project.build.outputDirectory}
${project.build.outputDirectory}/failsafe-reports

${project.build.sourceDirectory}/resources




integration-test

integration-test
verify

Test looks as follows:
@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@Cucumber.Options(tags = { "@wip", "@broken" }, strict = true, format = { "pretty", "html:target/cucumber", "json:target/cucumber.json" })
public class AllStories { ... }

Can some please help me on this.

Thanks.

I finally was able to figure this out.
In the feature i was writing the setup and teardown scenarios something as below.
Such scenarios run in cucumber-jvm 1.0.14 but when tried to generate a report it gave the
above NullPointerException.

@setup
Scenario: Setup.

Scenario: Customer account is added.
Given a customer with the name "abc"
When admin tries to create an account
Then get an customer account id which is not null and greater than zero

.........

@teardown
Scenario: Teardown

Fixed it by:

@setup
Scenario: Setup.
Given Something

Scenario: Customer account is added.
Given a customer with the name "abc"
When admin tries to create an account
Then get an customer account id which is not null and greater than zero

.........

@teardown
Scenario: Teardown
Given Something

Thanks.
