@brasmusson i have tried few options like giving path for test directory etc like below

<configuration>
					<!-- <testClassesDirectory>s360UIAutomationCC/src/main/java</testClassesDirectory> -->
					<testSourceDirectory>s360UIAutomationCC/src/main/java</testSourceDirectory> 
						<includes>
							<include>**/*RunCukesTest.java</include>
						</includes>
						<!-- <excludes> <exclude>**/*RunCukesTest.java</exclude> </excludes> -->
					</configuration>

Is there any error in the configuration or do i have to move the runner file to src/test/java

[brasmusson]

@nagarjun64 Maven expects test code to live under src/test/<language>/, by putting RunCukesTest.java under src/main/java you are saying to maven “this is not a test class”, try and move RunCukesTest.java to src/test/java.

If you still have problem, first clone and build https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-java-skeleton to get a working example that you can use as template.
