#BeforeTest #AfterTest running only once - maven

Question

I am working on web whatsapp automation for practice using selenium-maven-cucumber-testng . I have below issue.
Expected: I have many feature files and I want to run all the feature files one after another as below :
take first feature file -> open browser ->run steps mentioned in feature file -> close browser. take second feature file -> open browser - > run steps mentioned in feature file -> close browser and so on.
Result : Currently all the feature files are getting run and passing. But the browser is opening only once i.e.,
Open browser -> run feature file 1, feature file2, etc -> Close browser.
I want to run as explained in "Expected".
My Testng :
testng.xml
My RunnerClass :
Runner.java
My Hook :
Hook.java

Answer 1

BeforeTest and AfterTest will run only once as there is only one test block in the testng.xml. One way would be to create separate runners for each feature file and have separate test blocks.
<test name="Feature_File_1">
<classes>
<class name="Runner1"/>
</classes>
</test>
<test name="Feature_File_2">
<classes>
<class name="Runner2"/>>
</classes>
</test>
Also in the current runner class remove junit annotation #RunWith.

Answer 2

You need to change your TestNG hooks to Cucumber hooks.
Why is that?
Cuz you want to close the browser after each scenario as you elaborated in your question.
Please see below:
import cucumber.api.java.After;
import cucumber.api.java.Before;
public class Hooks {
#Before
public void beforeScenario(){
System.out.println("This will run before the Scenario");
}
#After
public void afterScenario(){
System.out.println("This will run after the Scenario");
}
}
