How to execute some code after Cucumber report is built?

Question

I use Cucumber for jUnit runner to run BDD tests like this:

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(
    format = {"pretty", "json:target/cucumber.json"},
    glue = {"com.company.bdd.steps"},
    features = {"classpath:bdd-scenarios"},
    tags = {"~@skip"}
)
public class CucumberTests {
}

I would like to have beautiful HTML reports from https://github.com/damianszczepanik/cucumber-reporting

And i made jUnit @AfterClass method:

@AfterClass
public static void buildReport() throws Exception {
    List<String> srcReportJson = Collections.singletonList("target/cucumber.json");
    Configuration configuration = new Configuration(new File("target"), "AEOS BDD Integration Tests");
    new ReportBuilder(srcReportJson, configuration).generateReports();
}

The problem is that cucumber.json is empty when @AfterClass method executes. Hence i can't build pretty HTML report.

Is there any hook which i can use to execute some code after cucumber json report is already built?

PS: Cucumber v.1.1.8 is used and Java 1.7 so i was not able to try ExtendedCucumberRunner

Have you considered adding shutdown hook? Here is an example on how to add one. Code in run() method supposed to be executed before JVM shuts down.

Yeah, it worked in `@AfterClass`. I see in console that it also throws ` java.lang.IllegalStateException: Shutdown in progress` when log4j inside of reporter tries to register another shutdownhook, but report is built :) – Kirill Jun 09 '17 at 08:33

You can take a look at custom formatter of cucumber:

Thank you for your suggestions but I just decided to use already existing Maven plugin and execute it's goal right after test goal.

wjpowell posted this suggestion in the cucumber-jvm issues:

"You don't need to do this in cucumber. Use the @beforeclass and @afterclass annotation from within the JUnit test used to run the cucumber tests. This has the benefit of running only for the features specified by the paths or tags options.

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@Cucumber.Options(format = {"html:target/cucumber-html-report", "json-pretty:target/cucumber-json-report.json"})
public class RunCukesTest {

    @BeforeClass
    public static void setup() {
        System.out.println("Ran the before");
    }

    @AfterClass
    public static void teardown() {
        System.out.println("Ran the after");
    }
}

"

I tried jUnit's `@AfterClass`, but it is invoked too early, the Cucumber JSON is empty at this moment :S — Kirill, Jun 09 '17 at 08:02
Have you tried waiting for it to not be empty? See this [SO Q&A](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23452527/watching-a-directory-for-changes-in-java). — MikeJRamsey56, Jun 09 '17 at 17:39
