I am getting the 'java.lang.ClassNotFoundException' exception while running maven test in my project. The same program works fine if @RunWith is tagged to (Cucumber.class) but apparently not with @Runwith(CucumberWithSerenity.class). I am not sure why issue is appearing!

Note: I did refer the similar post to rectify the issue but apparently none helped me yet.

Could someone share what is causing such issues?

CodePudding user response：

You should remove all occurences of cucumber artifacts from your pom. Serenity artifacts already have dependencies to the required cucumber versions. The lates supported version is 6.11.

When you put the same artifact of different version to your root pom, you override that. Hence there is version inconsistency take the place.
