Java(TM) Installing Program

Click NEXT, and choose where you want to install it. Then you wait for it to finish installing and click CLOSE. 

Download and Install IDE (Eclipse or IntelliJ)

The course will use Eclipse in its teaching material but all the things we do in the course can be done in IntelliJ too. You can download the latest version of Eclipse and IntelliJ (Community Edition) here. After that, you can follow the instructions of the installation wizard to install the IDE.

Download and Install the Cucumber plugin

Eclipse

From the Eclipse marketplace (from inside the Help menu of Eclipse), download the "Cucumber" plugin.

Install Cucumber (Eclipse)

IntelliJ

IntelliJ already comes with a Cucumber plugin. But I recommend you also download a plugin called Cucumber for Java since it can add support for Cucumber testing tools with step definitions written. You can download that from IntelliJ IDEA -> Settings -> plugins. 

Install Cucumber (IntelliJ)

Restart your IDE

After you install the Cucumber plugin, you need to restart your IDE (Your IDE will also notify you to do that).

Download and Import the project "libaray01" to your IDE

You can download the zip file library01.zip here. And then you should unpack the zip file first.

Eclipse

You can now import the project into Eclipse by clicking File -> Import -> Maven -> Existing Maven Projects.  After clicking Next, proceed to click Browse and select the file you unpacked from the zip file. Then, mark the project pom.xml and click Finish.

Import project (Eclipse)

IntelliJ

You can now import the project into IntelliJ by clicking Open and Choosing the file pom.xml you unpacked from the zip file. Then click Open and Open as Project.

Import project (IntelliJ)

Run the project in your IDE

Eclipse

Find the file AcceptanceTest.java under the src/test/java/dtu.library.acceptance_tests and then right-click -> Run as -> JUnit Test. You will see the following content:

Run the project in Eclipse

Although the program fails the test (as it should), it proves that you can already run the cucumber plugin. You can now begin to implement the production code such that the scenarios "Admin login", "Admin logout", "Add book", and "Search book" pass. After implementing the first scenario on "Admin login", you should see the following:

Successfully passed the first scenario test in Eclipse

IntelliJ

Find the file AcceptanceTest.java under the src/test/java/dtu.library/acceptance_tests and then right-click -> Run 'AcceptanceTest'. You will see the following content:

Run the project in IntelliJ

Although IntelliJ shows "build failed" at first, you can assume that you can already run the cucumber plugin. You can now begin to implement the production code such that the scenarios "Admin login", "Admin logout", "Add book", and "Search book" pass. After implementing the first scenario on "Admin login", you should see the following:
