java.io.FileNotFoundException for jbehave/storyDur

Question

I'm trying to get jBehave working on my 2-module Google App Engine project modeled after https://github.com/ctesniere/appengine-modules-sample-java. I generated the jBehave archetype (jbehave-simple-archetype) using Maven. I was able to get this to run successfully.

However, when I manually applied the changes to my pom.xml on my target project and copied over the two java files generated by the jBehave archetype, I could not get a successful mvn clean install.

I get the following error:

I cannot find a file named behave/storyDurations.props to copy over from the archetype build to my own project. What am I missing?

Answer 1

I tried so many ways, but still didn't solved my issue. Finally I removed spaces and wildcard characters from my path(including folder names), then its allowed me to execute Test Runner

Answer 2

The file that was missing to be copied over from the archetype to the new project was stories/my.story. Even though the error is about something else, I was able to get this error to go away when I copied over the my.story file:

Copying over the .story file made the java.io.FileNotFoundException for jbehave/storyDurations.props error go away.

=================

UPDATE: Another solution is to make a symbolic link to the directory containing the story files. This is useful if you have multiple Google App Engine modules but you want to share the story files across the modules. For an explanation on how to set up the symbolic link ("symlink"), see this other solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/28137844/2848676

Answer 3

I fixed it by -

1. List item Adding the instance of the step class like new ClassnameSteps() in StoryRunner.java.
2. I used <story>Classname</story> instead of <Story>Classname</Story>. Do mind the small s & capital S in story.
