@Before doesn't execute in java Cucumber Step

Question

I\'ve got a Cucumber Step class that i\'m attempting to initialise a page model for all scenarios. So I added a @Before annotated method :

@Before()
private void         


        

Answer 1

1. Make sure you are using cucumber.annotation.Before rather than org.junit.Before. Cucumber will not process JUnit annotations. (More information in the Scenario Hooks section of this blog post.)

2. Make sure your @Before method is public, not private.
