Bazel with Java Cucumber - cucumber-java

Question

Is there someone who could share some sample project of Java Cucumber tests build in Bazel?
I have a working set of tests build using maven but need to transfer them to Bazel and I can't really understand the structure of BUILD files needed in order to execute scenarios from the .feature files.
Would be very thankful for any help!!
After many failures I was able to get the Bazel project to build but tests would fail due to step definition classes not being glued properly as well as not being able to provide path to my .feature files.

Basic steps to use Bazel with Java Cucumber:
Add the Cucumber Java dependency to your project. You can do this by adding the following to your BUILD file:
maven_jar(
name = "cucumber-core",
artifact = "io.cucumber:cucumber-core:5.5.0", )
Add the JUnit dependency to your project. You can do this by adding the following to your BUILD file:
maven_jar(
name = "junit",
artifact = "junit:junit:4.13",
)
Create a Bazel rule to run the Cucumber tests. You can do this by adding the following to your BUILD file:
load("#io_bazel_rules_java//java:defs.bzl", "java_test")
java_test(
name = "cucumber_test",
srcs = glob(["**/*Test.java"]),
resources = glob(["**/*.feature"]),
deps = [
"//path/to/your/source:source",
"#maven//:cucumber-core",
"#maven//:junit",
],
main_class = "cucumber.api.cli.Main",
args = ["--plugin", "pretty"],
)
Run the tests with Bazel by running the following command:
bazel test //path/to/your/test:cucumber_test
This will run all the Cucumber tests in your project and output the results. You can customize the Cucumber configuration by modifying the args field in the Bazel rule.
