Deprecated Main class cucumber.api.cli.Main

See original GitHub issue

When launching my feature files using the plugin, I get a warning in the console stating “You are using deprecated Main class. Please use io.cucumber.core.cli.Main”.

This has been changed just about a month ago (see https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-jvm/pull/1670). The old class is currently a delegate to the new class, so this doesn’t break anything (yet?), but the warning is a little annoying. From my perspective, this seems like a pretty easy thing to fix for someone who knows the plugin’s code, but since that’s not the case for me, I decided to open this issue instead.

//edit: After a quick repo search, it looks like this class is using the CUCUMBER_API_CLI_MAIN constant from this class to get the FQN for the Main class. I’m guessing updating this constant should fix the issue. However, I don’t really have any experience developing eclipse plugins and since I don’t want to push any changes based on guesses, I’ll leave this to someone else.

The way this is generally handled is you try to load the new class in the new package, if it fails with a class not found exception you load the old class.

If we simply change this, this wil break for everyone using an older cucumber-version so it is not that easy as it seems.
