1. Configure a Project

1. Create a new Maven project:

   Note:

   If you use Java 9, you may need to explicitly configure your project to be compiled to version 1.6 or later: Java Java … <build>   <plugins>     <plugin>       <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>       <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>       <version>3.7.0</version>       <configuration>         <source>1.6</source>         <target>1.6</target>       </configuration>     </plugin>   </plugins> </build> … Otherwise, the project will be compiled to version 1.5 that Java 9 does not support, and an error may occur.

2. Put the following dependencies to the pom.xml file:

   • To add Cucumber libraries to your project, use the following dependencies:

     pom.xml

     pom.xml

     <dependencies>
     ...
         <dependency>
             <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
             <artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId>
             <version>2.3.1</version>
             <scope>test</scope>
         </dependency>
     ...
     </dependencies>
     

   • To run Cucumber tests with the JUnit runner, add the following dependencies:

     pom.xml

     pom.xml

     <dependencies>
     ...
         <dependency>
             <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
             <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId>
             <version>2.3.1</version>
             <scope>test</scope>
         </dependency>
     
         <dependency>
             <groupId>junit</groupId>
             <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
             <version>4.12</version>
             <scope>test</scope>
         </dependency>
     ...
     </dependencies>
     

   • Add a reference to the TestLeft library. It is located in the <TestLeft>\API\Java folder.

     pom.xml

     pom.xml

     <dependencies>
     ...
         <dependency>
             <groupId>com.smartbear.testleft</groupId>
             <artifactId>testleft</artifactId>
             <version>2.42</version>
             <scope>system</scope>
             <systemPath><TestLeft 2>/API/Java/testleft-2.42.jar</systemPath>
         </dependency>
     ...
     </dependencies>
     

   • Also, TestLeft requires the following dependencies:

     pom.xml

     pom.xml

     <dependencies>
     ...
         <dependency>
             <groupId>com.google.code.gson</groupId>
             <artifactId>gson</artifactId>
             <version>2.8.2</version>
         </dependency>
         <dependency>
             <groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
             <artifactId>httpclient</artifactId>
             <version>4.5.3</version>
         </dependency>
         <dependency>
             <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
             <artifactId>commons-compress</artifactId>
             <version>1.15</version>
         </dependency>
     ...
     </dependencies>
     

Note:

After you specify new dependencies, the Maven project may need to download new libraries. To do that in IntelliJ IDEA, click Import Changes, or click Enable Auto-Import to allow the IDE to do that automatically: Click the image to enlarge it.
