@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

Hello I know that is an old post, but none of these solutions work for me. So I'm going to share my solution.

I created the class Hooks under the package: com.mycompany.automation.util

package com.mycompany.automation.util;

import com.mycompany.automation.rest.database.AS400DBManager;
import cucumber.api.java.After;
import java.sql.SQLException;

/**
 * @author Julian Mesa
 * @version 0.1.0
 * @since 0.1.0
 */

    public class Hooks {

      @After
      public void beforeScenario() throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException {
        System.out.print("Closing connection.");
        AS400DBManager.getInstance().closeConnection();
      }

    }

and then I specified the package in the glue options in the runner:

@RunWith(CucumberWithSerenity.class)
@CucumberOptions(
    features = "src/test/resources/features",
    glue = {"com.mycompany.automation.features.steps",
        "com.mycompany.automation.util"}
)

And it worked.
