Gradle build fails when plugin is added about gradle-cucumber-reporting

[SpacialCircumstances]

@purnimashanti I'm not exactly sure if I'm understanding you right, but if you're talking about the code snippet commented by me above, your configuration should look like this:

cucumberReports { 
    outputDir = file('html-report')
    buildId = '0'
    reports = files('target/cucumber/cucumber.json')
    testTasksFinalizedByReport = false
}

@purnimashanti Yes, that would be the correct way, causing the reports to be generated after the tests are run.

@purnimashanti Well, have you checked if there is actually a cucumber report file target/cucumber/cucumber.json? That's a somewhat uncommon path, because target/ is usually used by Maven, while Gradle uses build/ to store such files.

Hi, I changed the path to target/cucumber/cucumber.json and it's working. Thanks.

You can avoid the error by adding testTasksFinalizedByReport = false to your cucumber reports configuration, so the reports are not generated automatically after running a test.
Then, you can manually attach them to your cucumber test task via yourCucumberTestTask.finalizedBy(generateCucumberReports) so they will only run after cucumber tests.

Hi, I am having the same issue. I am new to gradle. Could someone help me on how to add these lines in build.gradle?.
My task looks like this :
test { testLogging { events "passed", "skipped", "failed" exceptionFormat "full" } doFirst { delete testResultsDir } useTestNG() scanForTestClasses = false }

cucumberReports { outputDir = file('html-report') buildId = '0' reports = files('target/cucumber/cucumber.json') }

[peacetrader]

I am not sure how to use this yourCucumberTestTask.finalizedBy(generateCucumberReports)
Do I have to specify it like this :
`test {
useTestNG()
scanForTestClasses = false
}

test.finalizedBy(generateCucumberReports)`

Hi, I still have the same issue. I am running gradle clean build.
