Add Cucumber Dependencies and Configuration in Gradle

Package Name com.hmtmcse.tutorial, It’s important for our gradle config, please don’t forget the package name which you put in project creation.

We have to add 3 code blocks into build.gradle:

First

configurations {
    cucumberRuntime {
        extendsFrom testImplementation
    }
}

Second: Add the cucumber dependency

project.ext {
    cucumberVersion = '5.6.0'
}

dependencies {
    testImplementation 'io.cucumber:cucumber-java:' + cucumberVersion
}

Third: Make sure you replaced the package name com.hmtmcse.tutorial

task cucumber() {
    dependsOn assemble, compileTestJava
    doLast {
        javaexec {
            main = "io.cucumber.core.cli.Main"
            classpath = configurations.cucumberRuntime + sourceSets.main.output + sourceSets.test.output
            args = ['--plugin', 'html:reports/test-report', '--plugin', 'pretty', '--glue', 'com.hmtmcse.tutorial', 'src/test/resources']
