Running a test suite from a command prompt

Compiling resources required for running tests suites from a command prompt

Test suites can be run using the gwb runCucumberSuite command. However, before this command can be used, you must compile resources needed by the processes that gwb runCucumberSuite uses. This is done by first executing the gwb compile command from the application directory. For example:

gwb compile

Typically, you need to execute this command only once. You typically do not need to execute it prior to each test. However, these is no harm in executing this command multiple times.

If a test execution fails with a java.lang.IllegalStateException that starts "no modules found at...", you may need to execute or re-execute gwb compile.

Running tests suites from a command prompt

Once the necessary resources have been compiled, you can run a test suite from a command prompt by executing the following from the application directory:

gwb runCucumberSuite -Dsuite=pathToSuite.suiteName

For example:

gwb runCucumberSuite -Dsuite=gw.suites.CalendarAdminSuite

This command compiles and runs the feature files in the specified test suite.

Viewing test results

Behavior Testing Framework generates information on the test results. You can view these results by navigating to modules/configuration/build/reports/tests/executeCucumberSuite and clicking index.html.
