Cucumber Runner

A plugin to use CucumberJS in StrykerJS

🥒 💖 👽

Note: this plugin only supports the @cucumber/cucumber nodejs test runner. If you're running cucumber with Jest or Karma, be sure to use those respective test runners instead.

Install​

Install @stryker-mutator/cucumber-runner locally within your project folder, like so:

npm i --save-dev @stryker-mutator/cucumber-runner

Peer dependencies​

The @stryker-mutator/cucumber-runner is a plugin for stryker to enable @cucumber/cucumber as a test runner. As such, you should make sure you have the correct versions of its dependencies installed:

  • @cucumber/cucumber
  • @stryker-mutator/core

You can find the peerDependencies in @stryker-mutator/cucumber-runner's package.json file.

Configuring​

You can configure the cucumber test runner in the stryker.conf.json (or stryker.conf.js) file.

{
  "testRunner": "cucumber",
  "cucumber": {
    "profile": "stryker",
    "features": ["my-features/my-feature.feature"],
    "tags": ["my-tag"]
  }
}

The cucumber runner supports loading cucumber profiles from your cucumber.js configuration file. The default profile will automatically be loaded if none was specified.

cucumber.profile [string]​

Default: "default"

Choose which profile to run. See cucumber profiles

cucumber.features [string[]]​

Default: ["features"]

Choose which features to load. See Running specific features.

cucumber.tags [string[]]​

Default: undefined

Choose which tags to focus. See Tags.

Coverage analysis​

The @stryker-mutator/cucumber-runner plugin supports coverage analysis, test filtering and test location reporting. This means that --coverageAnalysis perTest (which is the default) is supported and will yield the best performance.

Non-standard feature file locations​

As of @stryker-mutator/cucumber-runner version 6.1, non-standard feature file locations are supported out of the box.
