Importing #Before package options in Hooks java class - cucumber

Question

Am new to using cucumber tool. Currently learning concepts of Hooks and Tags. While importing #Before and the suggested option was 'import io.cucumber.java.Before;'. I see that in various tutorials the mentioned import is 'import cucumber.api.java.Before;'.
I ran my code with the suggested import but found that the #Before Hook code wasn't executed. I checked it using println statement.
Does both have the same functionality and why am not allowed to import 'import cucumber.api.java.Before;' ?

Answer 1

The combination of dependencies in your POM suggest that you are working on an existing project (and it needs cleaning up). When learning a new tool or reproducing a problem it is usually best to start from scratch.
Try following the tutorial and then add the hooks so you are adding them to a working project.
