How to embed text into your cucumber-jvm report with Java

MyStepdefs.java

import cucumber.api.Scenario;

public class MyStepdefs {
    private Scenario scenario;

    @Before
    public void before(Scenario scenario) {
        this.scenario = scenario;
    }

    @Given("^I have (\\d+) cukes in my belly$")
    public void cukes_in_my_belly(int cukes) {
        scenario.write("This goes into the report(s)\n");
    }
}

Hi ,
I am also facing the same issue. I would like to pass some text information inside @before block but I am getting Null pointer exception in json formatter. Is there any way to pass text inside @before method.
import cucumber.api.Scenario;
import cucumber.api.java.Before;

Code snippet
@before("@Firefox")
public void localFF() throws Exception {

            scenario.write( "Browser Name : Firefox Browser" );
            driver = browserHelper.launchBrowser( "firefox" );

Hi, we are using Cucumber ruby, and Scenario.write is undefined. Do you know if there is anything comparable for ruby?

Hi, any updates on this issue, coz even I'm facing the same problem .. !!

There is a very weird implementation of this write method (throws away my message, and prints "message".... ):
https://github.com/serenity-bdd/serenity-cucumber/blame/master/src/main/java/net/serenitybdd/cucumber/SerenityReporter.java#L717

but this seams to work:

StepEventBus.getEventBus().stepStarted(ExecutedStepDescription.withTitle(message));
StepEventBus.getEventBus().stepFinished();

Is this still applicable? I am also not able to get the output in the report. Do we have any other way to write custom message to cucumber report?

Thanks a bunch, the above code snippet worked for me. I am also able to see it in my html report.

How can i do it in ruby?

is it possible write a text in report with custom css?
