Scenario Steps(Given,When,Then) are not shown in IntelliJ console.

[skumar1122]

Hello,

When I am running my tests in local, I cannot see Feature-Scenario steps in my IntelliJ console. Usually you see all Given,When,And,Then steps with each scenario. I am not sure if this option is not available with serenity but I think I have used in Cucumber-Junit framework.

My serenity versions in pom:
<serenity.version>2.0.60</serenity.version> <serenity.cucumber.version>1.9.40</serenity.cucumber.version>

And I do have Cucumber-Java Plugin installed in IntelliJ.

And IntelliJ Idea Version - Community 2019 - 192.5728.xx

Could someone advice on this ?

Thanks
Shiva

IntelliJ will only do that if you run the feature file directly, not via the Junit runner. But you need the Junit runner for Serenity. So at the moment, this isn't supported.

Thanks @wakaleo for letting me know.

hi @skumar1122, @wakaleo
I am able to see Serenity-Cucumber execution in IntelliJ, maybe next info will be useful for you:

IntelliJ IDEA: IntelliJ IDEA 2019.2 (Community Edition)
Build #IC-192.5728.98, built on July 23, 2019
Runtime version: 11.0.3+12-b304.10 amd64
Cucumber for Java plugin: 192.5728.12
Serenity: 2.0.70
Serenity-Cucumber4: 1.0.21 (corresponds to Cucumber 4.2.0)
Platform: Windows 10, openjdk 11.0.1

First, you need to configure cucumber for java IDEA plugin as mentioned in article: https://johnfergusonsmart.com/running-cucumber-serenity-feature-files-directly-intellij/ . You also have to add next to "Program arguments":

--plugin cucumber.runtime.formatter.SerenityReporter

You also may to play with "Use classpath or module" and with "Shorten command line" options (may be different for java 8 and java 11). Also you have to enable some logging framework (I personally use slf4j + log4j2).

In result, you will be able to run cucumber features/scenarios via IDEA plugin from context click and all the logging:
