Hi,

Sorry that this causing you an issue. Could you please attach a copy of the cucumber.json file that this plugin fails on, and I'll try to examine the issue & solve it?

Thanks

Jim

Without the file in question I'm unfortunately unable to progress this issue. If you could assist by supplying it I'd be delighted to assess the error and fix it.

Unless I can progress this in the next 2 weeks, I'll mark the issue as closed.

I stumbled upon the same issue. See the attached cucumber.json file. HTH

I've analysed the file you've attached - many thanks for that.

The error is caused by step definitions in the json output that do not contain an id element, causing a null-pointer exception when trying to generate the step reports for each scenario.

That's the cause - the solution is more tricky. I need to investigate the structure of the json output and determine if an id element is mandatory - you'd think it is, but your file indicates otherwise.

This is still under investigation.

Matthias, could you supply me the feature file you used for this test? I need to relate the json output back to the feature file to see what's missing and how I can code around it.

Thanks

Having done a lot of investigation on this, no simple solution presents itself, as the issue is basically caused by a malformed JSON file (not invalid JSON, just missing elements) - results are also missing for certain steps.

I'm going to close the issue, despite the lack of resolution, but will re-open should it be reported as a problem for anyone else.

What is broken in the json?

We where seeing this on our tests yet neither the cucumber test result plugin (and the cucumber plugin) had any issues parsing the json files.

Hi Teilo

I don't know your JSON file, as you never supplied it. The one from Mathias did seem to contain malformed objects.

If you'd care to supply the JSON output file and your input feature file, I'll re-open the issue and re-examine it. I did ask you to do this back in October.

Hi!

Same Problem here.

My cucumber.json attached above.
All features do have an ID though.

Does it matter, that this now failing job has been run before, without the plugin?

Hi Adam

When I get a chance I'll run your cucumber.json through a test system, but one thing puzzles me: there's no reference to my plugin in that stacktrace. Looking at it, the error occurs in org.jenkinsci.plugins.cucumber.jsontestsupport.CucumberTestResultArchiver

What leads you to believe that the Cucumber performance plugin is responsible?

Regards

Jim
