Empty report file results in failed report generation about cucumber-reports-plugin HOT 11 CLOSED

What is the sense of generating report from empty json?

from cucumber-reports-plugin.

Having 10 report files means if one is empty there's still plenty to generate reports from, and the empty one can be ignored and no report generated for it.

from cucumber-reports-plugin.

Makes sense

from cucumber-reports-plugin.

By empty json I should mean empty file or empty array of the features like
[]

Empty file could be resulted as error which should not be treated as normal correct result and empty array is currently improved in #366

from cucumber-reports-plugin.

@calebmfreed can you precise if you have empty file or empty array of the feature? Can you attach JSON file

from cucumber-reports-plugin.

I'll try to create an example and send it over.

Fixed, should work with next release

from cucumber-reports-plugin.

I'm having the same problem, using cucumber-reports-plugin 3.20.0.
My tests are runned automatically and when none has executed, an empty - [ ] - report file is created.
The Json is not parsed and is returned an error instead of an empty report:

net.masterthought.cucumber.ValidationException: Passed files have no features! at net.masterthought.cucumber.ReportParser.parseJsonFiles(ReportParser.java:69) ...

How can I fix this?

from cucumber-reports-plugin.

Show me JSON file

from cucumber-reports-plugin.

@damianszczepanik its a JSON file with an empty array
[]

from cucumber-reports-plugin.

That's because of that
