Interface ConcurrentEventListener

All Superinterfaces:

Plugin

public interface ConcurrentEventListener
extends Plugin

When cucumber executes test in parallel or in a framework that supports parallel execution (e.g. JUnit or TestNG) TestCase events from different pickles may interleave.

This interface marks an EventListener as capable of understanding interleaved pickle events.

While running tests in parallel cucumber makes the following guarantees.

1. The event publisher is synchronized. Events are not handled concurrently.

2. For test cases executed on different threads the callbacks registered on the event publisher will be called by different threads. I.e. Thread.currentThread() will return different a different thread for two test cases executed on a different thread (but not necessarily the executing thread).
