'Serenity BDD Hooks implementation returns error

I am trying to implement some hooks into the serenity BDD implementation with intellij.

My hooks file looks like this:

package steps;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import io.cucumber.java.Before;
import io.cucumber.java.After;

public class Environment {

    private WebDriver driver;

    @Before
    public void setup(){
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","<pathToDriver>");
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
    }

    @After
    public void tearDown() throws Exception {
        driver.quit();
        Thread.sleep(1000);
    }
    public WebDriver getDriver(){
        return driver;
    }
}

And my step definition file like this:

package steps;
import io.cucumber.java.en.Given;
import io.cucumber.java.en.Then;
import io.cucumber.java.en.When;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import static org.junit.Assert.fail;

public class EbayHome_steps {

   WebDriver driver;
   
   public EbayHome_steps(Environment environment){
       this.driver = environment.getDriver();
               
   }

    @Given("I am on ebay homepage")
    public void i_am_on_ebay_homepage() {
        driver.get("https://www.ebay.com");
    }

    @When("I click on Advanced Link")
    public void i_click_on_advanced_link()  {
        driver.findElement(By.linkText("Advanced")).click();
    }

    @Then("I navigate to Advanced Search page")
    public void i_navigate_to_advanced_search_page() {
        String expURL = "https://www.ebay.com/sch/ebayadvsearch";
        String actURL = driver.getCurrentUrl();
        if (!expURL.equals(actURL))
        {
            fail("Page does not navigate to expected page");
        }
    }

    @When("I search for Iphone 11")
    public void i_search_for_iphone() {
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='gh-ac']")).sendKeys("iPhone 11");
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='gh-btn']")).click();
    }
    @Then("I have at least 1000 search items returned")
    public void i_have_at_least_search_items_returned() {
        String itemCount = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"mainContent\"]/div[1]/div/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/h1/span[1]")).getText().trim();
        String itemCount2 = itemCount.replace(",","");
        int itemCountint  = Integer.parseInt(itemCount2);
        if (!(itemCountint >=1000)){
            fail("Less than 1000 items");
        }
    }

}

The problem is that whenever I try to run the TestRunner, I receive the following error: Short version:

io.cucumber.core.exception.CucumberException: Failed to instantiate class steps.EbayHome_steps - this class doesn't have an empty or a page enabled constructor"

Long version:

Process finished with exit code 255

I have searched all the tutorials possible but none have given me a glimpse of how to fix it. From what I see it doesn't see the default class constructor and it cannot create the object.

Does someone know how to fix this issue?

Solution 1:[1]

? have solved the issue through making the constructor in the step definition file empty, defining the driver variable as static in the hook definition file and instantiating as a class object in the step definition file where ? called the getDriver method.

?t seems that serenity needs an empty constructor in the step definition file.

Solution 2:[2]

I looked back from begin cours than realize that : cucumber-picocontainer 7.3.2 and serenity-cucumber4 2.1.2 dependency can resolved issue
