Step 4 - Under features folder create a new feature file login.feature

Step 5 - Download cucumber plugin from Eclipse Marketplace

Step 6 - Create feature file and add contents

• Feature
• Scenario
• Steps
• Scenario Outline
• Example
• Tags
• Comments

Step 7 - Try to run the feature file

Step 8 - Add Step Definitions / Glue Code under src/test/java package

Step 9 - Create a Runner class

Step 10 - Create Add Cucumber Options for generating reports

   HTML | JSON | JUNIT/XML   

Step 11 - Run and verify results

HOOKS:

Cucumber supports hooks, which are blocks of code that run before or after each scenario.:

@Before and @After

package utilities;

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");
  }
}

An important thing to note about the after hook is that even in case of test fail, after hook will execute for sure.

Method name can be anything, need not to be beforeScenario() or afterScenario(). can also be named as setUp() and tearDown().

*Make sure that the package import statement should be import cucumber.api.java.After; & import cucumber.api.java.Before;

package stepDefinition;

import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

import io.cucumber.junit.Cucumber;
import io.cucumber.junit.CucumberOptions;

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(features="src/test/resources/Features",
        glue={"StepDefinitions"},
        monochrome = true,
        plugin = {
                "pretty", "html:target/reports",
                "pretty", "json:target/reports/cucumber.json",
                "pretty",  "junit:target/reports/cucumber.xml"
        },
        tags="@smoketest"
)
public class Runner {
