Answer 1

Your .feature file is supposed to be inside

src/test/resources

Move your file and let us know.

I think this is the reason

Answer 2

It looks like your code is not compiled properly. If you are using Eclipse IDE, you may have to build your code

I have build automatically option already set in Eclipse.

How are you executing your code?

I am running the code as junit test

Answer 3

Update your JUnit.

        <dependency>
            <groupId>junit</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
            <version>4.11</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

and surefire plugin:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.16</version>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

I have updated the JUnit and added the SureFire plugin to the POM file but I am still facing the same error.

I had similar issue and adding cucumber-junit dependency helped

<dependency>
         <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
         <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId>
         <version>7.2.3</version>
</dependency>
