cucumber.steps.AuthenticationTokenSteps - this class doesn't have an empty or a page enabled constructor"

1.9.12 1.9.5 1.9.12 net.serenity-bdd serenity-core ${serenity.version} net.serenity-bdd serenity-junit ${serenity.version} net.serenity-bdd serenity-rest-assured ${serenity.version} net.serenity-bdd serenity-cucumber ${serenity.cucumber.version} net.serenity-bdd serenity-picocontainer 1.0.25

I tried to implement very simple class to retrieve token and want to share across different scenarios

public class AuthenticationTokenSteps {

TestContextAPI testContext;

public AuthenticationTokenSteps(TestContextAPI testContext) {
	this.testContext = testContext;
}

@Steps
SerenityCommonMethodsSteps cmnMethod;


@Given("user calls (.+) with (.+) http request")
public void user_calls_with_http_request(String string, String string2) throws Exception {
	
 testContext. AccessToken= cmnMethod.getAccessToken();

  
}

}

This is my contextclass

public class TestContextAPI {

protected RequestSpecification req_spec=null;
protected Response resp=null;
protected String AccessToken = null;

}

I dont know why it is complaining this class doesn't have an empty or a page enabled constructor. i have specified the constructor.

Please suggest how can i achieve this.

I'm not clear what you are trying to do?

[jainamit1712]

I want to share accessToken value across all my step definition class using pico-container

Please refer below two classes TestContextApI(responsible to share accessToken value) and AuthenticationTokenSteps(calling step)

In the below example cmnMethod.getAccessToken(); returns me accessToken which i am storing in textcontext.accessToken so that i can share the value across different stepdefs.

In order to achieve this i have created constructor below AuthenticationTokenSteps and passed TextContextAPI class.

When i run the test it complaint this class doesn't have an empty or a page enabled constructor", but if you see in my AuthenticationTokenSteps class i have defined the constructor.

public class TestContextAPI {
protected String accessToken = null;
}

public class AuthenticationTokenSteps {

TestContextAPI testContext;

public AuthenticationTokenSteps(TestContextAPI testContext) {
this.testContext = testContext;
}

@steps
SerenityCommonMethodsSteps cmnMethod;

@given("user calls (.+) with (.+) http request")
public void user_calls_with_http_request(String string, String string2) throws Exception {

testContext. accessToken= cmnMethod.getAccessToken(); ------this method retuns me accessToken
}

Also, i am using version 1.0.25 version for serenity-picocontainer

I am able to achieve this with cucumber by implementing same logic but i am trying to do with serenity-bdd it is complaining "this class doesn't have an empty or a page enabled constructor"
