What is plugin in cucumber?

What are cucumber plugins?

• While executing cucumber scenarios there some missing step definitions.
• We can print code snippets for missed step definitions by using the summary plugin.

Demo on cucumber plugin - summary:

Let's say I have a scenario without implemented step definitions.

@smoke

Scenario: This is Smoke Scenario

Given I am in First step with step def implementation

And I am in Second step without step def implementation

Here, Given step is implemented with step definition and And step is not implemented with step definition.

Run the above scenario from Runner class:

cucumber plugin

Here,

• the summary plugin will print code snippets
• snippets will have 2 values:

1. CAMLECASE - Will print code snippets in camelcase format
2. UNDERSCORE - It' is the default value and it will print code snippets in UNDERSCORE format.
