Cucumber testng runner fails

Question

Below is my runner class,

package runner;



import cucumber.api.CucumberOptions;
import cucumber.api.testng.AbstractTestNGCucumberTests;

//@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(features="resources/features",glue="step_def")

public class Runner extends AbstractTestNGCucumberTests {
 /* private TestNGCucumberRunner testNGCucumberRunner;

    @org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass(alwaysRun = true)
    public void setUpClass() throws Exception {
        testNGCucumberRunner = new TestNGCucumberRunner(this.getClass());
    }

    @org.testng.annotations.Test(groups = "cucumber", description = "Runs Cucumber Feature", dataProvider = "features")
    public void feature(CucumberFeatureWrapper cucumberFeature) {
        testNGCucumberRunner.runCucumber(cucumberFeature.getCucumberFeature());
    }

    @org.testng.annotations.DataProvider
    public Object[][] features() {
        return testNGCucumberRunner.provideFeatures();
    }

    @org.testng.annotations.AfterClass(alwaysRun = true)
    public void tearDownClass() throws Exception {
        testNGCucumberRunner.finish();
    }*/
}

Whenever I try to run this as a TestNG test, I'm getting the below error

I'm not sure what I'm missing here.

According to your snippet, you have commented out the whole class file, and possibly did not push the new classfile to wherever the RemoveTestNG environment is. — M. Prokhorov
Check the value used in the 'features' option in cucumberoptions. No feature files are found hence the NPE. — Grasshopper

The path of the feature file should start with source folder. Try this once. It should look like :-

features = "src\\bbd_feature"
