Unable to run jbehave feature/story with JUnitReportingRunner - jbehave

Question

I am using JUnitReportingRunner as below in jbehave .feature file in eclipse. But only BeforeStories and AfterStories are run and the .feature file is not getting executed. Here is the code and error. Please help. What could be the issue? Any help is much appreciated.
#RunWith(JUnitReportingRunner.class)
public class CalcConfig extends JUnitStories {
public CalcConfig() {
JUnitReportingRunner.recommandedControls(configuredEmbedder());
}
...
Here is the error I am getting:

Answer 1

I've got the same error on my site. My problem was, that I was using a wrong version of JBehave. Please make sure the version of JBehave matches JBehave-Junit-Runner.
Especially, the 3.9-SNAPSHOT version of JBehave introduces an additional method lifecycle, which is not implemented by the JUnitScenarioReporter.
The fix is trivial, so I'll pull it to github today.
