In this chapter, we will see the environment setup for Cucumber with Selenium WebDriver and Java, on Windows Machine.

Prerequisites for Environment Setup

Following are the prerequisites required to set up with −

Java

Why we need − Java is a robust programming language. Cucumber supports Java platform for the execution.

How to install −

Generate license key usin kotlin. Step 1 − Download jdk and jre from the following link http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Step 2 − Accept license agreement.

Step 3 − Install JDK and JRE.

Step 4 − Set the environment variable as shown in the following screenshots.

Eclipse

Why we need − Eclipse is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It contains a base workspace and an extensible plug-in system for customizing the environment.

How to install −

Step 1 − Make sure JAVA is installed on your machine.

Step 2 − Download Eclipse from https://eclipse.org/downloads/

Step 3 − Unzip and Eclipse is installed.

Maven

Why we need − Maven is a build automation tool used primarily for Java projects. It provides a common platform to perform activities like generating source code, compiling code, packaging code to a jar, etc. Later if any of the software versions gets changed, Maven provides an easy way to modify the test project accordingly.

How to install −

Step 1 − Download Maven from the following link − https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi

Step 2 − Unzip the file and remember the location.

Step 3 − Create environment variable MAVEN_HOME as shown in the following screenshot.

Step 4 − Edit Path variable and include Maven as shown in the following screenshot.

Step 5 − Download MAVEN plugin from Eclipse.

Step 6 − Open Eclipse.

Step 7 − Go to Help → Eclipse Marketplace → Search Maven → Maven Integration for Eclipse → INSTALL.

Configure Cucumber with Maven

Step 1 − Create a Maven project.

  • Go to File → New → Others → Maven → Maven Project → Next.

  • Provide group Id (group Id will identify your project uniquely across all projects).

  • Provide artifact Id (artifact Id is the name of the jar without version. You can choose any name, which is in lowercase). Click on Finish.

Step 2 − Open pom.xml.

  • Go to package explorer on the left hand side of Eclipse.

  • Expand the project CucumberTest.

  • Locate pom.xml file.

  • Right-click and select the option, open with “Text Editor”.

Step 3 − Add dependency for selenium: This will indicate Maven which Selenium jar files are to be downloaded from the central repository to the local repository.

  • Open pom.xml is in the edit mode, create dependencies tag (<dependencies></dependencies>), inside the project tag.

  • Inside the dependencies tag, create dependency tag (<dependency></dependency>).

  • Provide the following information within the dependency tag.

Step 4 − Add dependency for Cucumber-Java: This will indicate Maven, which Cucumber files are to be downloaded from the central repository to the local repository.

  • Create one more dependency tag.

  • Provide the following information within the dependency tag

Step 5 − Add dependency for Cucumber-JUnit: This will indicate Maven, which Cucumber JUnit files are to be downloaded from the central repository to the local repository.

  • Create one more dependency tag.

  • Provide the following information within the dependency tag

Step 6 − Add dependency for JUnit: This will indicate Maven, which JUnit files are to be downloaded from the central repository to the local repository.

  • Create one more dependency tag.

  • Provide the following information within the dependency tag.

Step 7 − Verify binaries.

  • Once pom.xml is edited successfully, save it.

  • Go to Project → Clean − It will take a few minutes.

You will be able to see a Maven repository like shown in the following screenshot.

  • Create a feature file (to be covered later).

  • Create a step definition file (to be covered later).

  • Create a JUnit runner to run the test (to be covered later).

  • Release Version : 0.0.20
  • As we all know, with the new Cucumber-Java8 API, we can write our step definitions with lambda expressions. So cucumbe-eclipse plugin is also enhanced to support both Content-Assistance and Glue-code features for Lambda Expressions.

Features supported for Lambda Expression:

  • Content-Assistance populates all steps used in lambda expressions.
  • Matching of Glue-code for lambda-expression-steps in a feature file
  • Pressing 'F3' key on steps in feature file redirects to the corresponding lambda-expression steps.

Test Environment:

  • JDK/JRE-8
  • Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.Version: Mars.2 Release (4.5.2)Build id: 20160218-0600

What is Lambda-Expression?

  • A lambda expression is an anonymous function and nameless. Means by Lambda Expression we can create a Java function without any name and belonging to any class. See the below step definition. The Lambda expression is passed as a parameter in Given method. By introducing Lambda expression in Java 8, Java language has stepped into functional programming.

How to use Lambda Expression for Step-definitions?

  • As lambda-expression supported by java8, You must have to use eclipse with JDK/JRE-8 version.
  • If you want to write any step-definitons by lambda-expression, You must have to import cucumber-java8 api(ex.cucumber.api.java8.En) in your step-definition(java) file.
  • You may wrtie step-definitions by using lambda-expression with both constructors and methods.
  • All lambda-expression-steps can be populated in feature-file by Content-Assistance features
  • Always use 'Ctrl+shift+o' to avoid unused import statements in your step-definition(java) file.

Sample Cucumber-Java8 Lambda Expression:

Do Not :

  • Don't try cucumber-java8-lambda-expression-steps in JDK/JRE-7 enviromnent, else it would be error in loading of Feature files in eclipse editor.
  • Don't try to import cucumber-java8 api(ex.cucumber.api.java8.En) in your step-definition(java) file for JDK/JRE-7 enviromnent, else it would be error in loading of Feature files in eclipse editor.

Pls correct the download link as the current one does not work. Thanks
