commandline switches to execute on BrowserStack gives NoClassFoundError.

[rahulkulkarniyahoo]

Hello,
I execute my automation tests with Serenity. Execution of code on my local machine works! When I add command line switces to execute the same code on BrowserStack, it fails and gives me error. Can you please let me know where I have gone wrong or misconfigured?

CommandLine Switch Statment
mvn clean install -Dbrowserstack.url=http://myNAME:myKEY@hub-cloud.browserstack.com/wd/hub -Dbrowserstack.os="OS X" -Dbrowserstack.os_version="High Sierra" -Dbrowserstack.browser=Chrome -Dbrowserstack.browser_version=61.0 -Dbrowserstack.build=rahul_auto_Mates -Dcucumber.options="--tags @tc23" -DEnvironment=qa

This looks like a usage error - there are many issues with your pom (conflicting versions of serenity libraries, compile target of 1.7 which may conflict with Serenity's requirement to use 1.8...). Fix these first. If that doesn't help, ask for help on https://serenity-bdd.rocket.chat.

Thanks @wakaleo
I will revert on findings.
Any chance of providing me location for the correct pom configuration?

[wakaleo]

The Serenity JUnit and Cucumber are usually reasonably up to date: http://github.com/serenity-bdd/serenity-junit-starter/blob/master/pom.xml

[rahulkulkarniyahoo]

I tried the cucumber-java-skelelton. using the pom file noted here, i can execute my code locally with the command line switches:
mvn clean install -Dcucumber.options="--tags @tc23" -DEnvironment=qa

Executes test case with tag @tc23 in the featur file, launches firefox. No problemo!

I want to execute the same test case on browser stack. As per the documentation, i used the following switches:
mvn clean install -Dbrowserstack.url=http://myNAME:myKEY@hub-cloud.browserstack.com/wd/hub -Dbrowserstack.os="OS X" -Dbrowserstack.os_version="High Sierra" -Dbrowserstack.browser=Chrome -Dbrowserstack.browser_version=61.0 -Dbrowserstack.build=rahul_auto_command -Dcucumber.options="--tags @tc23" -Dbrowserstack.name="Rahul Names" -DEnvironment=qa

I get the following error:

--------------------------------------------------------- NOTE ------------------------------------------------------- As you can note, in the error, the local machine browser launch is being attempted. This may not be the right behaviour, as the code needs to execute on BrowserStack. Browserstack remote url is not attempted.

[wakaleo]

"Could not instantiate new WebDriver instance of type class org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver" means that the firefox driver could not be started on Browerstack. This is usually due to missing or incompatible Browserstack configuration options.
