PART 5 - Run Cucumber Feature Files in Parallel Mode using Maven Fail Safe Plugin & JUNIT

[@bhuvanabaskaran8063]

Thank you so much Naveen...this series helps me a lot.... because of your videos and am confident enough to crack interviews

[@shashibhushanv6301]

Parallel execution is now made much easier. Looking forward to the cross-browser testing using Junit. I did with Maven sure-fire and fail-safe plugins and both look good. Thanks a ton, Naveen.

[@sakthisaravana6663]

Hi Shashibhusan, i tried with the above plugins but its running sequentially. Can you please share the plugins you have used. Thanks

[@leonardo91681]

Thanks for this great series, Naveen! You are slowly, but surely converting another manual tester to an automation tester. I confronted a few issues getting the parallel execution to work using JUnit and here is how I managed to solve them: 1. One of the problems I confronted was that my failsafe plugin would not execute the tests and instead the surefire plugin would execute them using a single thread. One suggestion from one of your viewers, thanks @Anyik Duku, was to remove the testNG dependency. After doing this my failsafe plugin started executing the tests. 2. Here is when my second problem started. For some reason my surefire plugin was still executing the tests using a single thread and after finishing then the failsafe plugin kicked in and performed the tests again using two threads. The problem this time was that I had named my Runner file as "TestRunner.java" instead of "MyTestRunner.java" and the surefire plugin will execute any java filename that starts with the word Test by default. I solved this problem by excluding my runner file in my surefire plugin configuration.

Hi Naveen, How we can do parallel testing by scenario level, In my company we have single feature file in which we write all the scenarios

[@shashibhushanv6301]

@ In TestNG the scenarios and rows in a scenario outline are executed in multiple threads.... Not sure if this option is given using Junit... cucumber.io/docs/guides/parallel-execution/

we have specified Parallel = methods maven fail safe plugin right. We can set it to classes also. But what ever we set it junit runs tests only at feature level right. Then what's the use to specify parallel tag explicitly?

Can we run feature level parallel execution in testng ? And how

[@mpregos]

Hello Naveen, Great video. I have set up cucumber + junit + selenium and i enable parallel using maven-surefire-plugin. the problem is that i do not have real time console log. I run the command , mvn clean test and the test are running, but in console i do not see any logs.All the test bumped at once at the end of the test or if the test duration is big, then after some time ,Do you have any idea how could i have real time consoloe log in paralell mode?

[@anandsinha6407]

One question so if we run directly from runner file it parallel execution can be achiveied once i make the changes as u shown in the video

[@saidayapule445]

Hi Naveen,I added Testtime:test-output-thread in Test Runner,To see report in terms of Threads,All the execution is fine, But when i copy the index.html path and paste in browser,The report is not getting loaded,It shows blank with reset Button,Can you let me know why,Thanks

Hi Naveen , I have a question regarding parallel execution in cucumber in a specific order. I am using Selenium, Java, Cucumber, Junit in my automation framework. I have 20 features in my regression suite which uses 2 set of login credentials to execute the testcase ( 10 features use USER1, remaining 10 features use USER2 credentials to login and proceed with the test ) The limitation in the application under test is it will not allow the same user to login in separate browsers at the same time. I wanted to achieve parallel execution in 2 threads specifying all the features which uses USER1 credentials to run in one thread and the remaining 10 features which uses USER2 credentials in another thread Could any one please let me know how to achieve this?

[@vijaykaushal9311]

Hello Naveen, First of all.. thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge. You are a genius. I have one small query. I noticed that on running test runner file from eclipse features are not executed in parallel whereas if we execute from the command prompt using maven verify command then features are executed in parallel. Just wanted to know that using these maven surefire and failsafe plugins is it not possible to achieve parallel execution when we run from IDE like an eclipse or Intellij? Also, it would be great if could you please make a video on how to pass test cases from Jira using the XRay plugin to feature file. I believe this will be beneficial for a lot of people like me who are learning automation. Thanks in Advance!!
