Browser not opening when executing cucumber script but script passed

Question

I have created a simple feature which just should launch a browser, however, the browser not launching and script shows pass in console.

Feature file

Feature: Flipkart home page

Scenario: Test Given launch browser

StepDefinition

package stepDefinitions;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import io.cucumber.java.en.Given; import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager;

public class HomeStepDefinition {

public WebDriver driver;

@Given("^launch browser$")
public void launch_browser() {
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
    driver = new ChromeDriver();
    System.out.println("test");
    
    
}

}

TestRunner

    package testRunner;

import io.cucumber.testng.AbstractTestNGCucumberTests;
import io.cucumber.testng.CucumberOptions;

@CucumberOptions(features ="src/test/java/features/Home.feature",glue="stepDefinitions",monochrome=true,dryRun=true)
public class TestRunner extends AbstractTestNGCucumberTests{

}

Answer 1

In your TestRunner you should remove the dryRun @CucumberOptions parameter, or change its value to 'false' (which is the default one).

When you set dryRun to true it will simply scan over all your features to check whether all used steps are available in the 'glue', so it won't execute the actual steps.
