Thanks a lot my friend Raghav. I'm Sabrina From Argentina.
I'm watching your videos and they are very easy to follow.
On the other hand, I leave below the correction of an error (for those who encounter the following error):
"Error: Could not find or load main class cucumber.api.cli.Main
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: cucumber.api.cli.Main"
It is corrected by putting in the POM.XML file:

This is really helpful. I am creating this project using VS Code (these days I just use this tool for everything, just love it) and the setup up was a little tricky and the beginning but now I am able to run my runner. I do have issues running directly from feature file as I haven't found the right plugin for it but that is minor.
Thanks for the video!

Hi , I'm very happy to see all your karate videos,

ClassnotfoundException LauncherFactory

[@RaghavPal]

Rajkumar
It seems you're encountering a `ClassNotFoundException` related to `com.intuit.karate.cli.Main` when running Karate tests using the runner in Eclipse with Karate 1.5.0.RC3. Let's troubleshoot this issue:
1. Maven Dependencies:
- Ensure that you have the correct Maven dependencies set up in your project. Make sure you have added the necessary Karate dependencies to your `pom.xml` file.
- If you're using JUnit 5, ensure that it's included in your classpath. Sometimes, Eclipse might not automatically include JUnit 5 libraries. You can manually add them to your project.
2. Karate Runner Issue:
- The error message indicates that the `com.intuit.karate.cli.Main` class is not found. This class is part of the Karate Runner.
- It's possible that there's an issue with the Karate Runner itself. You can try running your tests using `mvn test` (from the command line) to see if they execute successfully. If they do, it might be an Eclipse-specific issue.
- If you're using the Karate Runner directly, make sure you're invoking it correctly.
3. Sample Project:
- The Karate team maintains a sample project called [karate-maven-gradle](github.com/kirksl/karate-maven-gradle). You can clone this project and try running it using the provided instructions.
- If you encounter the same issue with the sample project, it might be a bug or misconfiguration specific to your environment.
4. Permissions:
- Ensure that the necessary files (such as `mvnw`) have executable permissions. You can run the following command from the root of your project:
```
chmod +x ./mvnw
```
- Make sure you're running this command in the correct directory.
5. Classpath Issues:
- Double-check that your Eclipse project's classpath includes all the required dependencies.
- If you're using a custom classpath, verify that it's correctly configured.
6. Path Issues:
- The error message you provided also mentions missing packages and symbols. Ensure that your project structure and package names match the expected structure.
- Verify that your test files are in the correct location and that their package declarations are accurate.
Remember that Karate 1.5.0.RC3 requires Java 17 and has changed the Maven group-id from `com.intuit.karate` to `io.karatelabs`⁴. If you've followed all the steps above and still encounter issues, consider reaching out to the Karate community or checking for any updates or fixes related to this specific version.

Hi Raghav I followed your last 3 videos for setup and when I am creating the api test same as your 4th video.
But getting error on running test and error is below
'could not find or load main class cucumber.api.cli.main'
How we can resolve it?

[@RaghavPal]

Kuntal
The error "could not find or load main class cucumber.api.cli.main" typically occurs due to outdated or incorrect dependencies. Here are some steps to resolve this issue:
1. Update Dependencies: Ensure you are using the latest version of Cucumber. The class `cucumber.api.cli.Main` has been deprecated and replaced with `io.cucumber.core.cli.Main`. Update your `pom.xml` file to use the correct dependencies:
```xml
io.cucumber
cucumber-java
7.0.0
test

io.cucumber
cucumber-junit
7.0.0
test
```
2. Update Run Configuration: In Eclipse, ensure your run configuration is pointing to the correct main class. Change it from `cucumber.api.cli.Main` to `io.cucumber.core.cli.Main`.
3. Check Classpath: Make sure your classpath includes all necessary dependencies. Missing dependencies can cause this error.
4. Clean and Rebuild: Sometimes, a clean and rebuild of your project can resolve classpath issues. Use the following command in your terminal:
```sh
mvn clean install
```
5. Example Configuration: Here is an example of how your `pom.xml` might look:
```xml
4.0.0
com.example
karate-api-tests
1.0-SNAPSHOT

io.cucumber
cucumber-java
7.0.0
test

io.cucumber
cucumber-junit
7.0.0
test

com.intuit.karate
karate-apache
1.2.0

```
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and run your Karate API tests successfully

[@ramyavenkatece05]

Hello Raghav ! Please help me. ' Error: could not find or load main class cucumber.api.cli.Main' why I am getting this error when run as cucumber feature. How do i resolve this?

[@RaghavPal]

Ramya
The error message you're encountering-"Error: could not find or load main class cucumber.api.cli.Main"-indicates that the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is unable to locate the required class to run your Karate DSL tests. Let's troubleshoot this issue and find a solution:
1. Java Version Compatibility:
- Ensure that you're using the correct Java version. Karate DSL 1.4.0 and later versions require Java 11.
- If you're using an older version of Java (e.g., Java 8), you'll encounter this error.
2. Check Project Configuration:
- Verify your project configuration:
- Make sure your project is set up correctly with the necessary dependencies.
- Ensure that your classpath includes the required libraries for Karate DSL and Cucumber.
3. Eclipse Cucumber Plugin (for Eclipse Users):
- If you're using Eclipse, consider using the Eclipse Cucumber plugin to run your features or scenarios.
- Add a Java class called `Main` to your test classpath in the `cucumber.api.cli` package (create `src/test/java/cucumber/api/cli/Main.java`).
- In that class, add the following code:
```java
package cucumber.api.cli;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
io.cucumber.core.cli.Main.run(args);
}
}
```
- This will route the execution to the appropriate class.
4. Update Dependencies:
- Ensure that your project's dependencies (including Karate DSL and Cucumber) are up to date.
- If you're using Maven, check your `pom.xml` for the correct versions.
5. Clean and Rebuild:
- Sometimes, cached data or outdated build artifacts can cause issues.
- Clean your project (e.g., in Eclipse, right-click on the project and select Clean).
- Rebuild your project.
6. Run Configuration:
- If you're using an IDE (e.g., IntelliJ IDEA), verify your run configuration:
- Check that the Main class specified in your run configuration points to the correct class (e.g., `cucumber.api.cli.Main`).
- Ensure that the classpath includes the necessary libraries.
7. Deprecated Class:
- Note that the class `cucumber.api.cli.Main` is deprecated.
- You can use `io.cucumber.core.cli.Main` instead.
8. Restart IDE:
- Sometimes, IDEs can get into an inconsistent state. Try restarting your IDE.
Remember to follow these steps based on your specific development environment (IDE, build tool, etc.). Once you've addressed any issues, your Karate DSL tests should run without encountering the class loading error

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: cucumber.api.cli.Main

[@RaghavPal]

Mayur
The error message you're encountering, "Error: Could not find or load main class cucumber.api.cli.Main," indicates that the Cucumber JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is unable to locate the required class to run your tests. This issue can occur due to various reasons, such as incorrect project configuration, missing dependencies, or classpath issues
Here are a couple of potential solutions you can try:
1. Check Your Run Configuration:
- Make sure your run configuration is correctly set up. Sometimes, during refactoring or module changes, the run configuration can become incorrect.
- Delete all existing configurations (you can find the dropdown in the top right corner of the IntelliJ IDEA window).
- Remove the Cucumber Java configuration by selecting it and clicking the "-" button.
- Right-click on the main application you want to run and select "Run" or use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + F10
2. Add Cucumber Dependency to pom.xml:
- If you're using Maven, ensure that you have the Cucumber Java dependency in your `pom.xml` file.
- Add the following dependency:
```xml
io.cucumber
cucumber-java
5.7.0
```
- After adding the dependency, rebuild your project and try running your tests again
3. Java Version Compatibility:
- Verify that your Java version is compatible with the version of Karate you're using.
- Karate 1.4.0 requires Java 11. If you're using an older version of Java, consider upgrading to Java 11 or later
Remember to adapt these solutions based on your specific project setup and requirements.

[@odiavlogsbyelora406]

Hi Raghav, I used Karate version 1.0.1 and Java version 22 , when I run my first feature file , in console it shows the below command and doesnt show anything else neither it terminates or throw any exception.
command: C:/Users/elora/eclipse-workspace/TestingProject/src/test/java/GETRequestTest.feature --glue classpath: --plugin pretty --monochrome
Can you please help me to resolve this issue.

[@RaghavPal]

Elora
The command you provided suggests that Karate is trying to execute your feature file, but it's not producing any output or terminating. This could be due to several reasons.
Possible Causes
Here are a few potential causes for this behavior:
Karate configuration issue: There might be a problem with your Karate configuration, which is preventing the feature file from executing correctly.
Feature file syntax error: There could be a syntax error in your feature file that's causing Karate to hang
Java or Karate version incompatibility: The combination of Java 22 and Karate 1.0.1 might be causing compatibility issues.
Troubleshooting Steps
To help you resolve this issue, I recommend the following steps:
Check Karate configuration: Verify that your Karate configuration is correct and that you have the necessary dependencies in your project
Validate feature file syntax: Review your feature file for any syntax errors. You can use a tool like the Karate IntelliJ plugin or a feature file linter to help identify any issues
Check Java and Karate version compatibility: Ensure that your Java and Karate versions are compatible. You can check the Karate documentation for supported Java versions
Enable debug logging: Try enabling debug logging in Karate to see if it provides any additional information about what's happening when you run your feature file

This is really helpful. is that we can do same using TestNG? can you please provide your thoughts

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Mani, this is from the official documentation of Karate -
"
If you want to use TestNG, use the artifactId karate-testng. If you are starting a project from scratch, we strongly recommend that you use JUnit. Do note that dynamic tables, data-driven testing and tag-groups are built-in to Karate, so that you don’t need to depend on things like the TestNG @DataProvider anymore.
Use the TestNG test-runner only when you are trying to add Karate tests side-by-side with an existing set of TestNG test-classes, possibly as a migration strategy.

Raga
The error message `Could not find or load main class cucumber.api.cli.Main` means that the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) cannot find the Cucumber main class. This can happen for a few reasons:
* The Cucumber library is not installed on your system.
* The Cucumber library is installed, but it is not in the JVM's classpath.
* You are using an outdated version of Cucumber.
To fix this error, you can try the following:
1. Make sure that the Cucumber library is installed on your system. You can download the Cucumber JAR file from the Maven Central repository.
2. Add the Cucumber JAR file to the JVM's classpath. You can do this by setting the `CLASSPATH` environment variable or by using a build tool like Maven or Gradle.
3. Make sure that you are using the latest version of Cucumber. The current version of Cucumber is 7.9.0.
If you are using an IDE to run your Karate feature files, you may also need to configure the IDE to use the correct Cucumber library.
Here are some specific steps you can take to fix the error in different environments:
**IntelliJ IDEA**
1. Open the Run/Debug Configurations window.
2. Select the Cucumber configuration for your Karate feature file.
3. Click the **Edit configurations template...** link at the bottom of the window.
4. Select **Cucumber Java** and set the **Main class** to `io.cucumber.core.cli.Main`.
5. Click **OK** to save your changes.
**Maven**
1. Add the Cucumber dependency to your project's `pom.xml` file.
```xml
io.cucumber
cucumber-jvm
7.9.0
```
2. Run the following command to build your project:
```
mvn clean install
```
**Gradle**
1. Add the Cucumber dependency to your project's `build.gradle` file.
```groovy
dependencies {
implementation 'io.cucumber:cucumber-jvm:7.9.0'
}
```
2. Run the following command to build your project:
```
gradle build
```
Once you have fixed the error, you should be able to run your Karate feature files without any problems.

I'm getting this error can you help please?

[@RaghavPal]

For "Could not find or load main class cucumber.api.cli.Main" error in Karate API testing. Here are the steps to resolve it:
1. Verify Dependencies:
- Check for `cucumber-java`: Ensure it's included in your project's dependencies (e.g., in `pom.xml` for Maven or `build.gradle` for Gradle).
- Confirm Version Compatibility: Karate supports Cucumber 4.x and 5.x. Ensure compatibility with your Karate version.
2. Resolve Conflicts:
- Manage Multiple Cucumber Versions: If using multiple Cucumber versions, address conflicts by excluding unnecessary dependencies.
3. Check IDE Configuration:
- Set Correct Classpath: Verify that your IDE's classpath includes the necessary JAR files (including Cucumber dependencies).
4. Inspect Execution Command:
- Use Correct Runner: If executing directly via command line, use the appropriate Karate-specific runner:
```bash
mvn test -Dtest=com.intuit.karate.cli.Main
```
- Avoid using Cucumber's `cucumber.api.cli.Main` runner.
5. Reinstall Dependencies:
- Force Redownload: If issues persist, try reinstalling dependencies using your build tool's commands (e.g., `mvn clean install`).
6. Clear Caches:
- Refresh Dependencies: Clear your IDE's and build tool's caches for a clean rebuild.

Hello Sir. Getting this error.. Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: cucumber/api/cli/Main has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 55.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 5
I have Java 8 in my system.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Shyla,
The error message you received indicates that the version of the Java Runtime on your system is not compatible with the version of the Karate API Testing tool you are using.
The class file version 55.0 is associated with Java 11, which means that the version of Karate you are using has been compiled with Java 11 or a later version.
To resolve this issue, you can try upgrading your Java Runtime to version 11 or a later version. Alternatively, you can try downgrading your Karate version to a version that has been compiled with Java 8.
To upgrade your Java version, you can follow these steps:
Download and install Java 11 or a later version from the official Java website.
Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the new Java installation directory.
Update the PATH environment variable to include the new Java bin directory.
After you have upgraded your Java version, try running Karate again to see if the issue has been resolved.

[@RaghavPal]

Chethan
Try this:
Step 1: Understand the Error The error message indicates that the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is unable to find the cucumber.api.cli.Main class. This class is required to run Cucumber tests
Step 2: Check Cucumber Version Ensure that you are using a compatible version of Cucumber with Karate. You can check the Cucumber version in your pom.xml file (if you're using Maven) or build.gradle file (if you're using Gradle).
Step 3: Verify Classpath The cucumber.api.cli.Main class should be present in the Cucumber JAR file. Check if the Cucumber JAR file is included in your project's classpath. You can do this by:
Checking the project's pom.xml or build.gradle file for the Cucumber dependency.
Verifying that the Cucumber JAR file is present in the project's target or build directory.
Step 4: Update Cucumber Dependency If you're using an outdated version of Cucumber, update the dependency to the latest version. You can do this by updating the pom.xml or build.gradle file.
Step 5: Clean and Rebuild Clean and rebuild your project to ensure that the changes take effect. You can do this by running the following commands:
mvn clean install (if you're using Maven)
gradle clean build (if you're using Gradle)
Step 6: Verify Cucumber Installation After rebuilding the project, verify that Cucumber is installed correctly by running a simple Cucumber test

Getting "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError" after running the runner file in my mac machine, could you please help me with this?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Subhransu,
The "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError" error typically occurs when the Java class you are trying to use is not found in the classpath
Can check few things like:
Make sure that the necessary jars are included in the classpath: Karate uses a number of dependencies, such as Cucumber and HTTP client libraries. Make sure that all of these jars are included in the classpath when running the runner file
Check the version of java you are using, Karate requires Java 8 or later
Check the Karate library version and make sure it is compatible with the current version of Java
Check the runner file and ensure that the package name is correct and is the same as the package name where your feature files are located
Try to clean and rebuild the project in your IDE

[@RaghavPal]

Hi,
There could be several reasons why you're not able to see changes in your Karate tests despite changing the URLs. Here are a few things you can try to resolve the issue:
Clear the cache: Clearing the cache of your default browser could resolve the issue. Try clearing the cache and reloading the page to see if the changes are reflected.
Restart Karate: If clearing the cache doesn't help, try restarting Karate. You can do this by closing all instances of Karate and starting a new one.
Check your code: Make sure that you've correctly updated the URL in your code. Double-check your code to ensure that the correct URL is being used.
Use a different browser: Try using a different browser to see if the issue is browser-specific.
Try a different project: If the issue persists even after trying all the above steps, try creating a new project and see if the changes are reflected there.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, there could be an issue with your installation of Karate or your environment. Try reaching out to the Karate community for further assistance.

If you are using Gradle, you can add the following dependency to your build.gradle file:
```groovy
dependencies {
implementation 'io.cucumber:cucumber-java:7.7.0'
}
```
2. Make sure that the Cucumber JAR file is present in your project's classpath. You can check this by running the following command:
```
mvn dependency:list
```
If the Cucumber JAR file is not listed, you can download it from the Maven Central repository and add it to your project's classpath manually.
3. Make sure that the Cucumber JAR file is located in a directory that is included in the classpath. The classpath is a list of directories that the JVM searches for classes. You can check the classpath by running the following command:
```
mvn dependency:build-classpath
```
If the directory containing the Cucumber JAR file is not listed in the classpath, you can add it to the classpath by setting the `CLASSPATH` environment variable.
Once you have resolved the error, you should be able to run your Karate API tests without any problems.
**Additional tips:**
* If you are using an IDE, such as IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse, you can configure the IDE to automatically add the Cucumber dependency to your project's classpath.
* You can use a Maven archetype to create a new Karate project with the Cucumber dependency already added.
* If you are still having problems resolving the error, you can try searching for help on the Karate website or Stack Overflow.

@RaghavPal Could you help why I am getting this error when trying to run - Error: Could not find or load main class cucumber.api.cli.Main

[@RaghavPal]

Divya
The error message you're encountering, "Error: Could not find or load main class cucumber.api.cli.Main," indicates that the Cucumber JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is unable to locate the required class to run your tests. Let's explore some possible solutions:
1. Check Your Project Configuration:
- Ensure that your project configuration is correct. Verify that the necessary dependencies are set up properly.
- Make sure your project structure aligns with the expected directory structure for Cucumber tests.
2. Classpath Issues:
- The error often occurs due to classpath issues. Double-check that all relevant libraries and dependencies are included in your classpath.
- If you're using an IDE (such as IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse), verify that your run configuration includes the necessary classpath entries.
3. Deprecated Class:
- Note that the class `cucumber.api.cli.Main` is deprecated. You can use `io.cucumber.core.cli.main` instead
- Update your configuration to use the non-deprecated class.
4. Eclipse Cucumber Plugin (For Eclipse Users):
- If you're using Eclipse, consider using the Eclipse Cucumber plugin.
- Add a Java class called `Main` to your test classpath in the `cucumber.api.cli` package (create `src/test/java/cucumber/api/cli/Main.java`).
- In this class, you can add the following code:
```java
package cucumber.api.cli;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
io.cucumber.core.cli.Main.run(args);
}
}
```
- This will route the execution to the non-deprecated class.
5. Java Version Compatibility:
- Ensure that you're using the correct Java version. Karate 1.4.0 requires Java 11
- Verify that your project is configured to use Java 11 or later.
6. Clean and Rebuild:
- Sometimes, cleaning your project and rebuilding it can resolve classpath-related issues.
- Try cleaning your project and then running your tests again.
Remember to apply the relevant solution based on your specific setup

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: cucumber.cli.Main

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Raman
The error message "Could not find or load main class cucumber.cli.Main" means that the Java class cucumber.cli.Main could not be found. This can happen for a few reasons, including:
* The cucumber.cli.Main class is not installed on your computer.
* The cucumber.cli.Main class is not in your classpath.
* The cucumber.cli.Main class is not a valid Java class.
To resolve this issue, you can try the following:
* Make sure that the cucumber.cli.Main class is installed on your computer. You can do this by downloading the Cucumber JAR file from the Cucumber website.
* Make sure that the cucumber.cli.Main class is in your classpath. You can do this by adding the JAR file to your classpath.
* Verify that the cucumber.cli.Main class is a valid Java class. You can do this by opening the JAR file in a Java IDE and looking for the cucumber.cli.Main class.
If you have checked all of these things and you are still getting the error, you can try posting a question on the Cucumber forum or mailing list. There are a number of experienced Cucumber users who can help you troubleshoot the issue.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind:
* The cucumber.cli.Main class is the main class for the Cucumber CLI.
* The Cucumber CLI is a command-line tool that you can use to run Cucumber tests.
* The Cucumber JAR file contains the cucumber.cli.Main class and other Cucumber classes.
* The classpath is a list of directories and JAR files that are searched for classes when a Java program is run.

[@kalyanmadarapu3389]

clear explanation, too good to learn your videos
If we run with out 'cucumber-java' dependency under pom.xml , we might get the error Could not find or load main class cucumber.api.cli.Main

[@RaghavPal]

Yes, you are correct. If you run Karate without the `cucumber-java` dependency, you will get the error `Could not find or load main class cucumber.api.cli.Main`. This is because Karate is a Karate extension for Cucumber, and Cucumber requires the `cucumber-java` dependency.
To avoid this error, you need to add the `cucumber-java` dependency to your pom.xml file. The following is an example of how to do this:
```xml
io.cucumber
cucumber-java
7.10.0
```
Once you have added the `cucumber-java` dependency to your pom.xml file, you will be able to run Karate without getting the error `Could not find or load main class cucumber.api.cli.Main`.
Here are some additional tips for using Karate:
* Use Karate's built-in features, such as data-driven testing and parallel testing.
* Use Karate's Gherkin syntax to write readable and maintainable test cases.
* Use Karate's API to automate REST APIs.
* Use Karate's integration with other tools, such as Jenkins and TestRail.

[@RaghavPal]

Anand
The error message "There are no licenses to review. Either the software does not specify a license or the license has been approved already" indicates that Eclipse is unable to find a license agreement for the Cucumber plugin. This can happen for a number of reasons, but some common causes include:
* **The Cucumber plugin is not licensed.** This can happen if the plugin is still in development or if the license agreement has not been updated.
* **The Cucumber plugin is licensed under a different license than Eclipse is configured to accept.** Eclipse only accepts plugins that are licensed under the Eclipse Public License (EPL), the Eclipse Distribution License (EDL), or the Common Public License (CPL).
* **The Cucumber plugin license agreement has already been approved.** This can happen if you have previously installed the plugin and approved the license agreement.
To troubleshoot the error, you can try the following:
1. Make sure that the Cucumber plugin is licensed under an EPL, EDL, or CPL license.
2. If the Cucumber plugin is licensed under a different license, you can try to install it by manually approving the license agreement. To do this, click on the "Install Anyway" button when Eclipse prompts you to review the license agreement.
3. If you have previously installed the Cucumber plugin and approved the license agreement, you can try uninstalling the plugin and reinstalling it.
If you are still having trouble installing the Cucumber plugin, you can try contacting the Cucumber team for support.
Here are some additional tips that may help you resolve the error:
* Try restarting Eclipse.
* Try installing the plugin from a different Eclipse workspace.
* Try installing the plugin from a different internet connection.
* Try uninstalling the Eclipse Marketplace Client plugin and reinstalling it.

Error: Could not find or load main class cucumber.api.cli.Main
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: cucumber.api.cli.Main

[@RaghavPal]

Hi
The error "Could not find or load main class cucumber.api.cli.Main" occurs when the Cucumber CLI class cannot be found. This can happen for a few reasons, such as:
* The Cucumber CLI class is not in the classpath.
* The Cucumber CLI class is not a valid Java class.
* The Cucumber CLI class is not executable.
To resolve the error, you need to make sure that the Cucumber CLI class is in the classpath and that it is a valid Java class. You can also try making the Cucumber CLI class executable.
Here are some steps you can take to resolve the error:
1. Check the classpath. You can do this by opening the Run/Debug Configurations dialog and checking the classpath. Make sure that the Cucumber CLI class is in the classpath.
2. Check the Cucumber CLI class. You can do this by opening the Cucumber CLI class in a text editor and making sure that it is a valid Java class.
3. Make the Cucumber CLI class executable. You can do this by adding the `public static void main(String[] args)` method to the Cucumber CLI class.
Once you have made sure that the Cucumber CLI class is in the classpath and that it is a valid Java class, you should be able to run Cucumber without getting the error.
In your case, the error is caused by the fact that the Cucumber CLI class has been deprecated. The new main class for Cucumber is io.cucumber.core.cli.Main. You can fix the error by changing the main class in your Run/Debug configuration to io.cucumber.core.cli.Main.
Here are the steps to change the main class in your Run/Debug configuration:
1. Open the Run/Debug Configurations dialog.
2. Select the Cucumber configuration.
3. In the Main class field, enter io.cucumber.core.cli.Main.
4. Click on the Apply button.
5. Click on the Run button.
Once you have changed the main class, you should be able to run Cucumber without getting the error.

Anupama
The error message "Error: Could not find or load main class cucumber.api.cli.Main" indicates that the Karate framework is unable to find the main class for Cucumber. This class is responsible for running Cucumber tests, and its absence prevents Karate from executing your test.
Here are some possible causes and solutions for this error:
**1. Missing Cucumber Dependency:**
* Ensure you have the Cucumber Java dependency included in your project's build path.
* Check your build configuration (e.g., pom.xml for Maven) and ensure the correct Cucumber version is specified.
* Download the appropriate Cucumber JAR file and add it to your project's dependencies manually if using a different build system.
**2. Incorrect Main Class:**
* The error message mentions `cucumber.api.cli.Main`, which is the deprecated main class for Cucumber.
* Karate uses the updated main class `io.cucumber.core.cli.Main`.
* Verify your Karate configuration or runner script and replace `cucumber.api.cli.Main` with `io.cucumber.core.cli.Main`.
**3. Conflicting JARs:**
* If you have multiple versions of Cucumber JARs present in your project, it might lead to conflicts.
* Ensure you have only one version of the Cucumber JAR compatible with your Karate framework version.
* Exclude any conflicting JARs from your build path or dependency management system.
**4. Classpath Issues:**
* Ensure the Cucumber JAR is accessible to the classpath during test execution.
* Verify your IDE or test runner configuration settings to include the correct classpath.
* Use tools like `mvn dependency:tree` (for Maven) to check the resolved dependencies and identify any potential conflicts.
**Here are some additional tips:**
* Review your project's build logs for any related errors or warnings.
* Refer to the Karate documentation and official resources for troubleshooting guidance.
* Share your Karate version, build configuration details, and any relevant error logs for a more specific diagnosis.
By systematically analyzing the potential causes and implementing the suggested solutions, you should be able to resolve the "Could not find or load main class cucumber.api.cli.Main" error and successfully run your Karate API tests.

[@kavithamadaiah]

Hi Raghav! Thank you so much for these videos. I am a little late in the game and started with Karate today. After set up is completed and cucumber plug in is installed, when i run the feature i am constantly getting this error - Class 'cucumber.cli.Main' not found. May be some things are different as on today, so I tried to change the class to io.cucumber.core.cli.Main, still no luck! Any suggestions? :)

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Kavitha
If you are encountering an error stating that the class 'cucumber.cli.Main' or 'io.cucumber.core.cli.Main' is not found when running your Karate feature, it is possible that there might be a misconfiguration or compatibility issue with the version of Cucumber or Karate you are using
Here are a few suggestions to resolve this issue:
1. Verify Cucumber and Karate versions: Ensure that you are using compatible versions of Cucumber and Karate. Check the documentation or release notes of Karate to find the compatible version of Cucumber. It's recommended to use the versions specified by Karate to avoid compatibility issues
2. Check the classpath: Make sure that the required Cucumber and Karate dependencies are included in your project's classpath. This includes the cucumber-core, cucumber-java, cucumber-junit, and karate-core dependencies. You can check your project's build configuration (e.g., pom.xml or build.gradle) to ensure that the necessary dependencies are included
3. Check the Cucumber runner class: Ensure that you have a Cucumber runner class defined in your project. The runner class should have the appropriate annotations (`@RunWith(Cucumber.class)`, `@CucumberOptions`) and should specify the path to your feature file(s). Make sure that the runner class is configured correctly and points to the correct feature file(s)
4. Verify the installation and setup: Double-check that you have installed Karate and Cucumber correctly. Follow the installation instructions provided by Karate and ensure that all the necessary dependencies are installed and configured properly
5. Update Karate version: If you are using an older version of Karate, consider updating to the latest version as it may have resolved the issue you are facing
If the above suggestions don't resolve the issue, please provide more details about your project setup, including the versions of Karate, Cucumber, and any relevant code snippets, so that I can assist you further

By default Cucumber scans the entire classpath for step definitions.
You can restrict this by configuring the glue path.

[@RaghavPal]

Shubham
Let's address this issue step by step:
1. Deprecated Main Class Warning:
- The warning message indicates that you're using a deprecated Main class. Instead of `cucumber.api.cli.Main`, you should use `io.cucumber.core.cli.Main`.
- To resolve this, update your configuration to use the correct Main class.
2. Failed to Load Class:
- The second warning suggests that a class named `'com.linecorp.armeria.internal.shaded.bouncycastle.jcajce.provider.asymmetric.edec.BC15EdDSAPublicKey'` failed to load.
- This issue might be unrelated to the deprecated Main class warning. It could be related to your project's dependencies or classpath.
- Ensure that your project's dependencies are correctly configured and that the required classes are available on the classpath.
3. Configuring the Glue Path:
- The last part of the warning mentions configuring the glue path. In Cucumber, the glue path specifies where to find step definitions.
- Make sure your step definitions are in the correct package or directory.
- You can configure the glue path in your Cucumber runner class using the `@CucumberOptions` annotation. For example:
```java
@CucumberOptions(plugin = "json:target/cucumber-report.json", features = "classpath:features", glue = "your.step.definitions.package")
public class CustomCucumberRunner extends AbstractTestNGCucumberTests {
// ...
}
```
Replace `"your.step.definitions.package"` with the actual package where your step definitions reside.
4. Dependency Versions:
- Ensure that your project's dependencies (including Cucumber) are up to date. You mentioned using Cucumber version `4.5.0`, but newer versions might be available.
- Consider updating your Cucumber dependencies to the latest stable version.
5. IntelliJ IDEA Configuration:
- If you're using IntelliJ IDEA, make sure your run configuration points to the correct Main class (`io.cucumber.core.cli.Main`).
- You can adjust this in the Run/Debug Configurations settings.
Remember to check your project setup, dependencies, and configurations. If you follow these steps, you should be able to resolve the warnings and run your Cucumber tests successfully

To fix this error, you need to make sure that you are using a recent version of Karate and that you have installed the JavaScript engine that Karate needs. You can find more information about installing Karate and the JavaScript engine that it needs in the Karate documentation.
Here are some additional things you can try:
* Make sure that you are using the latest version of Karate.
* Check that the JavaScript engine is installed and configured correctly.
* Try running the feature file in a different environment.
* If you are still having trouble, you can post a question on the Karate forum or contact the Karate support team.

2339 [main] WARN com.intuit.karate.junit4.Karate - no feature files scanned

[@RaghavPal]

The error message "no feature files scanned" indicates that Karate cannot find any feature files to execute your API tests. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:
1. Verify file location:
Ensure your feature files are placed in the correct directory. By default, Karate expects them to be in the src/test/resources or src/test/java directory within your project structure.
Double-check if you provided a specific path to the feature files while executing Karate using the -f or --features option. If the path is incorrect, Karate won't find the files.
2. File naming and extension:
Make sure your feature files have the correct extension, which is .feature.
Verify that the filenames are not case-sensitive and match the case used in your commands or build configuration.
3. IDE integration:
If you're using an IDE like IntelliJ IDEA, ensure the Karate plugin is properly configured and configured to scan the correct directories for feature files.
Check if your IDE has any relevant settings for filtering or excluding particular files from compilation or execution.
4. Dependency and configuration:
Confirm that the karate-runtime jar file is present in your classpath.
If you're using Maven or Gradle, double-check if the Karate dependencies are correctly defined in your pom.xml or build.gradle file.
5. Additional tips:
Try cleaning your project and rebuilding it, especially if you're using an IDE.
Run mvn clean install or npm install if you're using Maven or Node.js respectively, to refresh your project dependencies.
If you're still facing the issue, consider sharing your project structure or relevant sections of your build configuration (pom.xml or build.gradle) for further troubleshooting.
