I am trying to use aspectJ with cucumber project to add conditional statements with cucumber(you may think why.. but I am). It intercepts the cucumber step definitions that I have in my current project but I have dependency jars as well that I want to weave, I am weaving it using aspectj-maven plugin but then my code is not able to use glue code in this dependency, I believe that is because the code has been modified due to weaving. How should I be doing it instead?



this is maven-aspectj plugin:



<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>aspectj-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.8</version>
<configuration>
<complianceLevel>1.8</complianceLevel>

</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
<artifactId>aspectjtools</artifactId>
<version>${aspectj.version}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>


the dependency:



<groupId>com.tsb.gen</groupId>
<artifactId>gen-selenium</artifactId>


is also used by my glue code that I have in my project.
If I remove , then I am able to use the glue code and anything else thats in my project with aspectj but I cant use anything thats inside this base dependency. i want to use that.



My Aspect is like:



@Around("execution(* *(..)) && " +
"( @annotation(cucumber.api.java.en.And) " +
"|| @annotation(cucumber.api.java.en.But) " +
"|| @annotation(cucumber.api.java.en.Given) " +
"|| @annotation(cucumber.api.java.en.Then) " +
"|| @annotation(cucumber.api.java.en.When) " +
")")
public Object aroundGlueMethod(ProceedingJoinPoint joinPoint) throws Throwable {
ScenarioContext.checkForProgressDisplay();
//ScenarioContext.logToGenieReport("aroundGlueMethod aspect");
//System.out.println(""aroundGlueMethod aspect"");
Method method = ((MethodSignature) joinPoint.getSignature()).getMethod();
Object args;
Object obj=null;

// process arguments
args = processArgs(joinPoint.getArgs(),joinPoint.getTarget().getClass().getName());
if (methodHasAnnotation(method, SkipConditionalChecking.class)) {
obj=joinPoint.proceed(args);
} else {
if (ScenarioContext.shouldNextStepGetExecuted()) {
obj=joinPoint.proceed(args);
} else {
writeMessageToCurrentScenario("skipped as condition is false");
logger.info("step skipped as condition is false: {}", joinPoint.getSignature());
}
}
return obj;

}


What am trying to do with cucumber is something like :



 When If variable '${name}' equals to 'myname'
Then print 'Hey its me'
EndIf


I am able to work it out in the things that belong to my project, but when I am trying to include the step definitions or glue code in the dependencies it doesnt recognize any step definitions.
I tried using load time weaving but I am not sure I totally get how to accomplish both the things.

  • Well I've never seen anybody try to do this before. I really don't know. If you can point to a specific point where it goes wrong people might be able to help you better.

  • The point it goes wrong is that it cannot call the glue codes inside the woven dependency. It says the step is undefined. It cant find methods in it. If I remove the woven dependency in aspectj plugin, I can easily access point cuts inside my project. I want a way to weave the dependency and use its contents.

  • When you say It says the step is undefined this means that Cucumber can't find your step. You'll have to work out why this no longer works after weaving. I believe MethodScanner would be a good place to start: github.com/cucumber/cucumber-jvm/blob/master/java/src/main/java/…

    This setup is way too complex to expect to get an answer here without providing an MCVE reproducing the problem, ideally on GitHub. If you do provide one, I will take a look.
