Dependency is null when injected in Step definition classes

[stuartwdouglas]

Do you have a simple reproducer I can look at?

[ahmedabbas11]

While i was creating a reproducer project, i found out the issue.
The issue occurs when I run a single scenario through intellj plugin; Intellj creates a cucumber run configuration. but then dependencies inside steps are null.
But when i run from the Runner class extending CucumberQuarkusTest, tests pass without issue and dependency injection works without problem. Intellj creates a gradle run configuration at this case.

please find attached project.

While i can runs tests from gradle now, but running all the tests each time is not practical at the long run , whe steps grow in size and it would take time to run them all, then it is necessary to be able to run single scenario.

ok that makes sense to me because when running the test via Cucumber IntelliJ the @QuarkusTest annotation is not taken into account. This is simply because Cucumber is running the test and not Quarkus (via JUnit5). Not sure if the test is even run with JUnit5 when running via IntelliJ Cucumber plugin. When running the test with CucumberQuarkusTest the @QuarkusTest annotation prepares everything including @Inject support.

So at the moment I do not see a simple solution for that

Ah! This PR might solve this issue: #2

[stuartwdouglas]

Is that PR all that is required?

[tisoft]

Following is needed:

1. The PR #2
2. Adding a main method to the test class:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    runMain(CucumberOptionsTest.class, args);
}

3. Changing the Main class in the IntelliJ Run Configuration

The solution for this is restoring the original class loader within the test.

So once the context has been created, obtain the classloader and store it:
var originalClassLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();

And when executing the test restore it in the test thread:
context.runTestCase(r -> {
if (originalClassLoader != null) {
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(originalClassLoader);
}
r.runPickle(p);
});

@ahmedabbas11 , I want to know how you are running your cucumber tests, is it integrated with your quarkus application or you have dedicated cucumber project, using its dependency in your qaurkus application and invoking cucumber tests ?
