How take out step definition classes to the shared library?

[saul-1395]

• my env: Java+Spring+Cucumber

• what I want: I need move all steps definition to the shred library. It means, that In my test project I have only cucumber's features, properties and runner class:

@Cucumber
@IncludeEngines("cucumber")
@SelectClasspathResource("com/tests")
@ConfigurationParameter(key = GLUE_PROPERTY_NAME, value = "com.runner.project.test")

public class RunnerTest {  
}

• what I do: I create library with step's definition classes and configuration class and include it with maven in my test project. Configuration class in library located in 'com.runner.project.test' package.

• what I get: I run testcase ('.feature') and it runs successfully (RM and press Run on the testcase). Than I run 'RunnerTest.class' and take trouble: 'io.cucumber.core.backend.CucumberBackendException: Please annotate a glue class with some context configuration.'

• what I try: I relocate my configuration class from library to the my test project. Than I get trouble with step's definition: 'io.cucumber.junit.platform.engine.UndefinedStepException: The step 'Step name' and 12 other step(s) are undefined.. But if I ctrl+LM on step in testcase '.feature', than I'm falling to the definition step.'

• question: How I can linked RunnerTest.class and configuration class located in library or linker configuration class with stepdefinition classes?

Configuration class:

@CucumberContextConfiguration
@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.NONE)
@EnableConfigurationProperties
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@ComponentScan
@Import(Config.class)
public class MyTestContext {

    @Configuration
    public static class Config {....}

What you're doing should work. Do make sure that your library has the classes in src/main rather than src/test. Otherwise they're not included in the artifact (open the jar file, see for yourself).

Yes, it is exactly located in 'src/main' and 'src/test' is empty. I'll clarify: runner class located in test project, but configuration class located in library.
