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 just made cucumber and spring working with java based configuration and I think it is worth to share here. here what I have done:

@Configuration
@ComponentScan(basePackages = { "com.*" })
@PropertySource("classpath:application-${environment}.properties")
public class AppConfiguration {

@Bean
public static PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer propertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer() {
    return new PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer();

}
}

my step defintion class:

@ContextConfiguration(classes= AppConfiguration.class)
public class Stepdefs {
@Autowired
private MyBean mybean;

and here the test class:

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(format = { "pretty", "html:target/cucumber-html-report", "json:target/cucumber-json-report.json" })
@ContextConfiguration(classes= AppConfiguration.class)
public class RunCucumberTest {
}

and the maven command is:

mvn -Denvironment=dev clean test

the maven dependencies I have in my pom are:

            spring-expression
            ${org.springframework.version}
