Cucumber junit 5 parallel execution No basse StepListerner when using remoteDriver

[GianniGiglio]

Running cucumber junit 5 test in parallel is work when using a local driver but fails when using a remote driver.

The reason is probably because the wrong eventBus is used in the class RemoteDriverProvider.

Current implementation:

https://github.com/serenity-bdd/serenity-core/blob/main/serenity-core/src/main/java/net/serenitybdd/core/webdriver/driverproviders/RemoteDriverProvider.java#L75

TestOutcome testOutcome = StepEventBus.getEventBus().getBaseStepListener().getCurrentTestOutcome();

In this case the baseStepListener will be null and throw the stacktrace below.

I might have a fix but am unable to test it since I don't seem to be able to build the master branch using gradle.

Possible solution:

    TestOutcome testOutcome =null;
        if (StepEventBus.getParallelEventBus().isBaseStepListenerRegistered()){
            testOutcome =StepEventBus.getParallelEventBus().getBaseStepListener().getCurrentTestOutcome();
        }else {

         testOutcome = StepEventBus.getEventBus().getBaseStepListener().getCurrentTestOutcome();

}

@cliviu Sorry to ping you but since you did some fixes for parellel execution perhaps you can have a look.

[cliviu]

Yes, is in my backlog. I will have a look over the weekend.

[GianniGiglio]

Just letting you know I was able to test this locally by swapping the class. The proposed code fixes the issue

[GianniGiglio]

Already opened a Pr since I was able to build using maven
#3040

Should be fixed in 3.6.12
