Answer 1

To run selenium cucumber project in GitLab, we need to setup this .gitlab-ci.yml file under the root folder. Use the below configuration in .gitlab-ci.yml file.
image: maven:3.8.3-openjdk-17
cache:
paths:
- .m2/repository/
- target/
build:
stage: build
script:
- mvn compile
test:
stage: test
script:
- pwd
- mvn test
Makes sure you have used the below plugin in pom.xml file,
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.8.1</version>
<configuration>
<source>8</source>
<target>8</target>
<debug>true</debug>
<debuglevel>lines,vars,source</debuglevel>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0-M4</version>
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>**/RunCukes*.java</include><!-- specify your runner file here -->
</includes>
<testFailureIgnore>true</testFailureIgnore>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Note: While running the pom.xml as maven test in your local IDE it should trigger the cucumber runner file
