How do I pass a CLI argument to a Cucumber Java test suit?












1















I have a test suite that test my web service, I want to sent a custom IP as a CLI argument from maven to the test suite so instead of having a hard-coded IP like in the example below:



@Before
public void server_connection() {
ConnectionToServer serverConnection = new ConnectionToServer("localhost", 5776);
serverConnection.open();
}


I want to have a variable IP like this:



@Before
public void server_connection() {
ConnectionToServer serverConnection = new ConnectionToServer(IPArgumentFromMaven, 5776);
serverConnection.open();
}

    You can probably do this by setting a system property - been a while since I used Maven, but maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/… might help. Then you can use System.getProperty(...) in your Java code.

In your method, you can read this value as a system property like this:



@Before
public void server_connection() {
ConnectionToServer serverConnection = new ConnectionToServer(System.getProperty("IPArgumentFromMaven"), 5776);
serverConnection.open();
}


Now you can pass a value for IPArgumentFromMaven to maven from command line like this:



mvn clean test -DIPArgumentFromMaven=localhost
