Cucumber options annotation

Question

The cucumber-jvm javadocs states that purpose of the glue element is to specify the location of the stepdefinitions and hooks. However, this doesn\'t seem to work for me. Le

Answer 1

I have successfully used something like:

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@Cucumber.Options(
    //this code will only look into "features/" folder for features
    features={"classpath:features/"},
    glue = { "com.mycompany.cucumber.stepdefinitions", "com.mycompany.cucumber.hooks" },
    format = { "com.mycompany.cucumber.formatter.RuntimeInfoCatcher", "json:target/cucumber.json" },
    tags = { "@working" }
    )
public class CucumberStarterIT {
}

Looking at the doc at http://cukes.info/api/cucumber/jvm/javadoc/cucumber/api/junit/Cucumber.Options.html it specifies the options to be of type String[] so perhaps it's not expected to work "well" if you don't give it a single-value list. Try glue={"directory_b"} and see what happens for you.
