########################################################### I created a Maven project with cucumber framework and wrote a feature file, step definitions, test runner and hooks file. When I run my test runner I am getting "io.cucumber.java.InvalidMethodSignatureException", when I import io.cucumber.java.before/after but my test is running when I import from junit, but @before and @after doesn't work in cucumber if we import from juint. I not understanding why I am getting InvalidMethodSignatureException. I tried providing order=0 for @Before annotation. It doesn't work Above is the code, please help me.

CodePudding user response：

You get this issue because methods annotated with io.cucumber.java.Before have to be void.

In your example it returns WebDriver. This is why you get InvalidMethodSignatureException.
