Cucumber Report Generation

Cucumber provides several ways to generate test execution reports, which are helpful for analyzing test results, sharing with teams, and debugging failures.

Basic Report with pretty Plugin
This prints a detailed text output in the console (in readable format).

@CucumberOptions(

    plugin = {"pretty"}

)

HTML Report
Generate a basic HTML report:

@CucumberOptions(

    plugin = {"pretty", "html:target/cucumber-reports.html"}

)

This creates a report at: target/cucumber-reports.html

JSON Report
Use this when you want to integrate with tools like Extent Reports, Allure, or Jenkins:

@CucumberOptions(

    plugin = {"json:target/cucumber.json"}

)

Output: cucumber.json file that can be parsed by reporting tools.

JUnit XML Report
Useful for CI tools (like Jenkins) to parse test results:

@CucumberOptions(

    plugin = {"junit:target/cucumber-results.xml"}

)

@CucumberOptions(
features = "src/test/java/features",
glue = "stepDefinitions",
plugin = {
"pretty",
"html:target/cucumber-reports.html",
"json:target/cucumber.json",
"junit:target/cucumber-results.xml",
"com.aventstack.extentreports.cucumber.adapter.ExtentCucumberAdapter:"
},
monochrome = true,
tags = "@SmokeTest"
)
public class TestNGRunner extends AbstractTestNGCucumberTests {
}
