Karate-Cucumber Report - No report file was added - cucumber

Question

I had to run maven clean command by mistake and the target report folder go cleansed. Now, If I build and run my feature file i get below error. How can I resolve this?
BTW, I am using karate version 0.9.0 (Even though it might not depend)
And also, How can I clean the report folder if its causing below issues?
19:07:59.921 [main] INFO com.intuit.karate.Runner - Karate version: 0.9.0

Answer 1

Try this, it will work for the karate 1.0.1 version
/**
* Use this method if you want to execute entire feature files available in any folder.
*/
#Test
public void runMultipleFeatureFiles() {
System.setProperty("karate.env", "qa");
Results results = Runner.builder().outputCucumberJson(true)
.path("classpath:features/apitests/testFeatures").tags("~#Ignore").parallel(2);
Assertions.assertEquals(0, results.getFailCount());
generateReport(results.getReportDir());
}
/**
* Generate test case execution report post-execution.
*
* #param karateOutputPath - directory where you want to keep a report of test case executions.
*/
public static void generateReport(String karateOutputPath) {
Collection<File> jsonFiles =
FileUtils.listFiles(new File(karateOutputPath), new String[] {"json"}, true);
List<String> jsonPaths = new ArrayList<String>(jsonFiles.size());
jsonFiles.forEach(file -> jsonPaths.add(file.getAbsolutePath()));
Configuration config = new Configuration(new File("target"), "ReqRes.in SampleAPI Testing");
ReportBuilder reportBuilder = new ReportBuilder(jsonPaths, config);
reportBuilder.generateReports();
}
In Pom.xml add this maven dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>net.masterthought</groupId>
<artifactId>cucumber-reporting</artifactId>
<version>5.3.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Answer 2

Solved myself; Used karate-junit4 instead of karate-junit5 which is was using earlier in my .pom file.
But, I still don't understand why this error is caused if i used junit5!

Answer 3

//My runner file
#Test
void testParallel() {
Results results = Runner.path("classpath:conduitApp")
.outputCucumberJson(true)
.tags("~#ignore").parallel(5);
generateReport(results.getReportDir());
assertEquals(0, results.getFailCount(), results.getErrorMessages());
}
Note that outputCucumberJson(true) is called on the Runner “builder” to make it work.
