Primary Thing: Message "net.masterthought.cucumber.ValidationException: No report file was added!" generally comes when there is something wrong in the configuration of Maven Cucumber Html Report Plugin. (configuration example below)
<plugin> <groupId>net.masterthought</groupId> <artifactId>maven-cucumber-reporting</artifactId> <version>4.2.3</version> <executions> <execution> <id>execution</id> <phase>verify</phase> <goals> <goal>generate</goal> </goals> <configuration> <projectName>TheDayAfterTomorrow</projectName> <!-- output directory for the generated report --> <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/cucumber-maven-report</outputDirectory> <inputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/cucumber-json</inputDirectory> <jsonFiles> <!-- supports wildcard or name pattern --> <param>**/*.json</param> </jsonFiles> <skippedFails>true</skippedFails> <enableFlashCharts>true</enableFlashCharts> <buildNumber>10.2.1</buildNumber> <parallelTesting>false</parallelTesting> </configuration> </execution> </executions>
</plugin>Secondary Thing, in case you are still using old version of cucumber (1.2.5) so update your POM file with latest available cucumber version or anything above >=4.0.0 in order to have better outcome.
Cucumber Execution via JUnit:
<dependency> <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId> <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId> <version>4.2.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency> <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId> <artifactId>cucumber-picocontainer</artifactId> <version>4.2.6</version>
</dependency>Cucumber Execution via TestNG:
<dependency> <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId> <artifactId>cucumber-picocontainer</artifactId> <version>4.2.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency> <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId> <artifactId>cucumber-testng</artifactId> <version>4.2.6</version>
</dependency>The root cause of this issue is that maven-cucumber-reporting can't find any JSON file in the directory that was defined in the POM. This JSON file is generated using @CucumberOptions annotation in the runner class. So the problem that you see is because you have defined a different directory in @CucumberOptions and in the inputDirectory field within the configuration of the plugin in the POM file.
To solve it, make sure that both directories match. For example:
In the runner file you should have target/cucumber/cucumber.json
@CucumberOptions(features = "classpath:feature", tags = "@component-test", glue = {"feature.component"}, plugin = {"json:target/cucumber/cucumber.json")So in the POM you should have <inputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/cucumber</inputDirectory> and you should make sure that jsonFiles property is correctly defined:
<jsonFiles> <param>**/*.json</param>
</jsonFiles>So at the end the configuration should look like:
<plugin> <groupId>net.masterthought</groupId> <artifactId>maven-cucumber-reporting</artifactId> <version>${maven-cucumber-reporting.version}</version> <executions> <execution> <id>generate-cucumber-reports</id> <phase>test</phase> <goals> <goal>generate</goal> </goals> <configuration> <jsonFiles> <param>**/*.json</param> </jsonFiles> <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/cucumber-reports</outputDirectory> <inputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/cucumber</inputDirectory> <checkBuildResult>false</checkBuildResult> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin>
