Cucumber JVM Undefined Step Not resolving

Question

I am having issue with Cucumber JVM not being able to pick up the step definitions. I do have @CucumberOptions in the Runner file. My feature file does have @smokeTest tag as well. Still the issue persists for me. Please help!I've been trying to resolve this for few days now.

Maven and Java version:

Apache Maven 3.0.4 Java version: 1.6.0_65, vendor: Apple Inc.

Project structure:

Demo --> src --> test --> java --> com.smoke.test --> Runner.java | SmokeTestStepDef.java
Demo --> src --> test --> resources --> featureDemo.feature

Runner file:

package com.smoke.test;

import cucumber.api.CucumberOptions;
import cucumber.api.junit.Cucumber;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(format={"pretty","html:reports/test-report"},tags= "@smokeTest")

public class Runner {
}

How do you write your .feature? Because it is on the right path, but seems that cucumber can't identify the steps, could you add in your question? — Pedro Henrique
@PedroHenrique : Do you mean what is the Gherkin script in the feature file? — justCurious
Yes, one time I had a problem like this, and the error was on the .feature file — Pedro Henrique
Feature: Add two numbers Scenario: Validate addition of two numbers Given I have a calculator When I add 2 and 3 Then the result is 5 — justCurious
@justCurious Can you please edit your question with your actual feature file (including cucumber tag if any)? — Sébastien Le Callonnec

Move featureDemo.feature under src/test/resources/com/smoke/test.

As Eugene mentioned, it looks like a glue issue but from your comments, there seems to be another feature file in your project that's hiding the problem that it's actually the feature file that cannot be found.
