Undefined steps when running gradle cucumber

Hi @viphe I am also having the similar problem when I used gradle cucumber it complained steps are undefined. I am using cucumber-jvm with scala. I am using this plugin version 0.9, cucumber version is 1.2.5 and my gradle version is 3.5. I added the glueDirs as classpath: and also hard coded the path but it still says steps are undefined. Any progress on this issue?

cucumber {
  formats = ['pretty','json:build/cucumber.json']
  glueDirs = ['classpath:step_definition_package_name']
  featureDirs = ['path_to_feature']
  tags = ['@wip']
  monochrome = false
  strict = false
  dryRun = false
  ignoreFailures = false
  jvmOptions {}
}

When I added a task as below in build.gradlew file and ran with new task, the tests run

task cucumber12(type: JavaExec, dependsOn: assemble ) {
  main = "cucumber.api.cli.Main"
  classpath = configurations.cucumberRuntime + sourceSets.main.output + sourceSets.test.output
  args = ['-f', 'json:build/reports/cucumber/cucumber.json', '--glue', 'step_definition_package_name', 'path_to_feature']
}

Why I am not able to use this plugin but able to run via new task added?

Same here. Is not able to find my Java step definitions. I have step definitions in

src/test/java/com/myapp/test/cucumber/StepDefs.java

and the feature file in

src/test/resources/com/myapp/test/cucumber/test.feature

When I run the task it finds the feature, but says all the steps are uninplemented. If I run using the JUnit test runner, it finds the steps without any problems and executes the BDD correctly.

My config

cucumber {
    formats = ['pretty','junit:build/cucumber.xml']
    glueDirs = ['src/test/java']
    featureDirs = ['src/test/resources']
    tags = []
    monochrome = false
    strict = false
    dryRun = false
    ignoreFailures = false

    jvmOptions {
        maxHeapSize = '512m'
    }
}

As soon as I upgraded from gradle 2.8 to 4.3, the step definitions are not being recognized.

tasks.cucumber { formats = ['pretty', 'json:build/cucumber-tests/cucumber.json', 'html:build/cucumber-tests/cucumber_results.html'] }

I know that this is an old thread, but I also had a problem running the cucumber gradle task...

task cucumber() {
    dependsOn assemble
    doLast {
        javaexec {
            main = "io.cucumber.core.cli.Main"
            classpath = configurations.cucumberRuntime + sourceSets.main.output + sourceSets.test.output
            args = ['--plugin', 'pretty', '--glue', 'hellocucumber', 'src/test/resources']
        }
    }
}

the --glue switch in this gradle task arguments is what I had to change to fix the issue. I changed "hellocucumber" to the correct package name I'm using in my project...I hope it helps someone who finds this thread in the future.

I was having the same issue I had to put the full package path instead of just "hellocucumber" ' so at the end got --glue', 'com/jmconsultant/hellocucumber'
