Cucumber JSON Report

By now we have seen how HTML report is generated. However, if we want to pass on this report information to any other application, then JSON is another format for generating Cucumber test reports. JSON is an object containing a lot of information stored in text format. JSON report can also be used as a payload of information to be transferred between different servers. Further, it can be used to be displayed as a web page. In a nutshell, JSON reports can be used by other application.

@CucumberOptions(
    plugin = {"pretty","json:target/cucumber/cucumber.json"},
    features = {"features"},
    glue={"com.pb.cucumbertest.stepdefinitions"},
    monochrome = true,
    strict = true,
    dryRun = false,
    tags = {"@singleargument"}
)

In plugin you can see we have specified that we need json report. Output will be generated in cucumber.json inside folder target/cucumber.
