[Cucumber] Create executable JAR in Cucumber/Java project in Intellij/idea

[Vegard Nyeng]

I need to create an executable JAR for my Javabased Cucumber project.

This is my folder structure:

Loading Image...

(The Bellyclass in main/java/skeleton is also not used). All the feature
steps are in the resources/skeleton folder and all *step definitions* are
under *test/java/skeleton*

the files that are not displayed are: - gitignore, build.xml,
cucumber-java-skeleton.iml, pom.xml and README.md

I've tried to do some research, but struggled finding out what I should
include in my pom.xml file. I have currently ran my project using Intellij,
but I need to hand it over to someone that can easily run the project on
iOS/Mac.

Best regards, V.

I thought it would be the easiest way for the person to run the
feature-files from his Mac.

As Aslak noted, I think the easiest way to handle this is with Maven. We
currently support our projects on Windows and Mac using Maven. In fact, I
should also add Linux to that mix, since our CI server runs our tests from
a Linux box. :-)

I use Cucumber-JVM's command line interface (cli) to run the features. I
pack all dependent libraries (including cucumber jvm & gherkin) using maven
assembly plugin into single jar. I provide the user with only single jar
and they run it through command line. They just need java for that. (no
need of maven, as it is still an alien to some people :)) Checkout earlier
posts by Aslak where he mentions how to run features using cli.

Hi Michaes,
Can you please share me pom.xml used to create executablejar, so that it
jar can be used to run from java instead of maven
For some reason, the jar file created does nt have all dependent jars files

Also, I would like to know how to run from "'maven test""
When I run maven test, cucumber features files are not excuted

Thanks
Mohan

the following will create an executable jar for you to run assuming you have all of your dependencies setup.


<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>shade</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<transformers>
<transformer
implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ManifestResourceTransformer">
<mainClass>cucumber.api.cli.Main</mainClass>
</transformer>
</transformers>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

I just need to find the simplest way possible that I can let another person
execute the feature-files from his Mac.

Can't they run `mvn test`?

I don't remember if maven is installed by default on a mac, but if not -
that's certainly easier to install with e.g. homebrew than fiddling with
self-executing jars IMO.
