Please show us how you do the call. Something is broken in your command but I don't see it so I can't tell what's wrong. — Thomas Sundberg, Jun 13 '16 at 06:26
show more information on how the tests are invoked.. May be the command used will be of more interest. I could sense that there is an extra parameter in the command line with '--plugin' Try executing without this parameter.. — Praveen, Jul 12 '16 at 08:57

You normally get this issue if you did not set cucumberOptions correctly on your cukes files.

For example:

@RunWith(Cucumber.class) 
@CucumberOptions( dryRun = false, strict = true, features = "src/test/features/com/sample", glue = "com.sample", 
    tags = { "~@wip", "@executeThis" }, monochrome = true, 
    format = { "pretty", "html:target/cucumber", "json:target_json/cucumber.json", "junit:taget_junit/cucumber.xml" } ) 
    public class RunCukeTest { 
  }

Hi I also had this issue as well, and I did the following to resolve it, thanks to the comments of Anusha from video https://youtu.be/pD4B839qfos -the main trick is to firstly change the jar files you have as follows cucumber-core-1.2.5.jar cucumber-java-1.2.5.jar cucumber-junit-1.2.5.jar or any of the above, from 1.2.4 upwards - also update the following selenium-server-standalone-2.42.0.jar and upwards - also change the format keyword to plugin

Once you make the above changes, this should resolve your problem.

Please don't use individual jars, but use a dependency manager like Maven or Gradle. This will help make sure you have the right transitive dependencies. — Marit, Jun 04 '19 at 14:29
