QAF Integration With Cucumber Runner(6.8.1) and testNG(7.1.0)

[aruna3390]

Hi Team,

I am trying to integrate QAF with my existing Cucumber-TestNG project which uses Cucumber Runner class to run my tests with excel sheets(@datafile) instead of examples as data requirement is heavy

I am using QAF-CUCUMBER 3.0.0 for my integration and I am getting below error.
Can someone help me with the integration? Is QAF-CUCUMBER compatible with TestNG 7 and Cucumber 6.8.1?

Error log:
12:19:23.594 [main] ERROR com.qmetry.qaf.automation.util.PropertyUtil - resources\application.properties (The system cannot find the path specified)
12:19:23.607 [main] ERROR com.qmetry.qaf.automation.core.ConfigurationManager - C:\Ark\GitNew\itp-hits-ci-ui-test\resources not exist!

at org.testng.internal.invokers.InvokedMethodListenerInvoker.invokeListener(InvokedMethodListenerInvoker.java:57)

After creating blank resources\application.properties , still I got above NullPointerException

Below are few facts:

• Cucumber doesn't support examples/testdata outside feature file (BDD or BDD2 syntax)
• BDD2 is supported using QAF-cucumber with cucumber 5.
• AbstractTestNGCucumberTests will not support BDD2 syntax. If you want to use TestNG runner, you need to use either BDDTestFactory2 CucumberScenarioFactory refer support of cucumber lifecycle with Testng

You can try with cucumber 5 with QAF-3.0.1 using CucumberScenarioFactory
