Cannot run Glacio and Cucumber in the same project

[bessonm]

Hello Loic,

While trying to toy around Glacio, I wanted to compare and run Cucumber tests and Glacio tests in the same project but didn't succeed to do it.

Base on this example project, I removed every thing :

• https://github.com/glacimonto/glacio-examples/tree/issue/run_cucumber_and_glacio

And made 2 commits :

• One running Glacio tests with 'mvn clean test', using maven-surefire-plugin build :
  • glacimonto@c98c6a1
• Another running Cucumber tests with 'mvn clean test', without using maven-surefire-plugin build :
  • glacimonto@917a48e

Can you help me on this ?
Since I'm not used to junit test engines, what am I missing ?

Thank you very much :)

Thanks for the feedback early-tester 😄

It seems that you removed too much.

Currently the project you provided uses an old version of the maven-surefire-plugin (2.12.4 by default), only compatible with JUnit4.

In this configuration, only Cucumber can run as JUnit4 cannot run the Glacio engine, built for JUnit-Platform (platform appearing with JUnit5).

To solve your issue, I would :

• upgrade to the latest version of maven-surefire-plugin which (from version 2.21 if I recall correctly) launches platform-engines instead of using the Junit4 provider
• add junit-vintage-engine in the dependencies, which is the platform-engine running JUnit4 tests (that is to keep Cucumber tests running)

A word of caution however: as junit-platform is evolving quickly, they may be some breaking changes, In order to work properly, I would keep the same version of the platform used by Glacio for now so, adding to your pom.xml:

    <dependencies>
        ...
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.junit.vintage</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit-vintage-engine</artifactId>
            <version>5.3.2</version> <!-- not 5.4.1, which will not be able to run Glacio engine (still using 5.3.2) -->
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

    <build>
        <pluginManagement>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>${maven-surefire-plugin.version}</version>
                </plugin>
            </plugins>
        </pluginManagement>
    </build>

should do the trick

Perfect !
Indeed, downgrading junit vintage from 5.4.0 to 5.3.2 was the missing piece to run Cucumber !

Thanks ;)
