Can I use spring to autowire controller in cucumber test?

Question

I am using Cucumber to automate the testing of services and controllers in my app. In addition, I am using the Cucumber Junit runner @RunWith(Cucumber.class) in the

Answer 1

I used cucumber-jvm to autowire Spring into Cucumber.

        info.cukes
        cucumber-core
        1.1.5
        test
    
    
        info.cukes
        cucumber-spring
        1.1.5
        test
    
    
        info.cukes
        cucumber-junit
        1.1.5
        test
    

And import applicationContext.xml into Cucumber.xml

   // refer to appContext in test package
   // scan package IT and StepDefs class

In CucumberIT.java call @RunWith(Cucumber.class) and add the CucumberOptions.

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(
    format = "pretty",
    tags = {"~@Ignore"},
    features = "src/test/resources/com/me/pos/service/it/"  //refer to Feature file
)
public class CucumberIT {  }

In CucumberStepDefs.java you can @Autowired Spring

@ContextConfiguration("classpath:cucumber.xml")
public class CucumberStepDefs {

    @Autowired
    SpringDAO dao;

    @Autowired
    SpringService service;
}
