Cucumber Hooks And Cucumber Annotations

What Are Cucumber Hooks And Cucumber Annotations?

Table of Contents

Cucumber Hooks:

Cucumber hooks are blocks of code that runs before or after each scenario. It can be defined anywhere in project or step definition layers using methods @Before, @After. Cucumber hooks Annotations allow us to manage better code workflow and help in reducing code redundancy. Cucumber hooks are used in a situations where prerequisite steps before testing any test scenario is performed.

  1. @Before Hook: It will execute before every scenario. Example
@Before
public void initialization() {
start Browser();
}
  1. @After Hook: It will execute after every scenario.
@After
Public void afterScenario () {
    TakeScreenshot();
    CloseBrowser ();
}

How to implement Cucumber hooks in Java?

Testing Hooks with single scenario

Feature File

Feature: Test Hooks

Scenario: This scenario is to test hooks functionality

Given this is the first step

When this is the second step

Then this is the third step

Step Definition file

package stepDefinition;
 
import cucumber.api.java.en.Given;
import cucumber.api.java.en.Then;
import cucumber.api.java.en.When;
public class Hooks_Steps
{
   @Given ("^this is the first step$")
  public void This_Is_The_First_Step(){
  System.out.println("This is the first step");
  }
  
@When ("^this is the second step$")
  public void This_Is_The_Second_Step(){
  System.out.println("This is the second step");
  }
  
@Then("^this is the third step$")
  public void This_Is_The_Third_Step(){
  System.out.println("This is the third step");
  } 
}

Hooks

package utilities;
import cucumber.api.java.After;
import cucumber.api.java.Before;
public class Hooks 
{
  @Before
     public void beforeScenario(){
         System.out.println("This will run before the Scenario");
     } 
 
  @After
     public void afterScenario(){
         System.out.println("This will run after the Scenario");
     }
}
Cucumber Hooks 2

If the testcase fails in that case also After Hook will execute for sure. Package import statement should be import cucumber.api.java.After; & import cucumber.api.java.Before; Scenario Hooks execute before and after every scenario.

What are Cucumber Annotations?

Annotations are predefined text which contain specific meaning. It allows compiler what should be done upon execution. There are few annotations in this cucumber

  1. Given: it defines prerequisite for the test to be executed. Example

Given this is a first step.

  1. When: It defines trigger point for the test scenario execution. example

When this is the second step.

  1. Then: it holds the expected result for the test to be executed. example

Then this is the third step

  1. And: It provides the logical And condition between two statements like between any Given, when and then example

Given this is first step AND When this is the second step.

  1. But: It specifies logical OR condition between two statements like between Given, When, Then. Example 

Then Login should be successful but homepage should not be missing.
