I am trying to migrate my Cucumber automation project from cucumber (info.cukes ) to cucumber (io.cucumber)

Answer 1

There are 2 ways of implementing extent report in Cucumber
1. Using Cucumber-JVM 4 adapter for Extent Framework(extentreports-cucumber4-adapter) & below are the steps to implement -
Add adapter dependency under POM.XML
<dependency>
<groupId>com.aventstack</groupId>
<artifactId>extentreports-cucumber4-adapter</artifactId>
<version>1.0.6</version>
</dependency>
Add the com.aventstack.extentreports.cucumber.adapter.ExtentCucumberAdapter plugin to the runner.
#RunWith(Cucumber.class)
#CucumberOptions(plugin = {"com.aventstack.extentreports.cucumber.adapter.ExtentCucumberAdapter:"})
public class RunCukesTest {
// ..
}
Report Output Directory - ../Project Directory/test-output/HtmlReport
2. Adding aventstack dependency under POM.XML
<dependency>
<groupId>com.aventstack</groupId>
<artifactId>extentreports</artifactId>
<version>3.1.5</version>
</dependency>
In this workflow, Do not Add the com.aventstack.extentreports.cucumber.adapter.ExtentCucumberAdapter plugin to the runner.

Answer 2

I had the same issue. you can use the following combination of dependencies,
Cucumber-core 4.2.0
Cucumber-java 4.2.0
Cucumber-junit 4.2.0
extentreports-cucumber4-adapter 1.0.7
Please note Cucumber-extntsreport which is developed by vimalselvam is not supporting cucumber version 4. Because cucumber 4 is using event based reporting, not the formatter.
so remove this dependency.
cucumber-extentsreport 3.0.2
