How to generate Cucumber extent reports 4 through Gradle - selenium-webdriver

Question

I am executing the Cucumber automation test scripts through gradle, though i am able to execute the test successfully but reports are not getting generated. I did give a try with with below gradle tasks
one at a time.
Cucumber gradle tasks copied below
a) for the below gradle task i am able to execute the scripts which does not generate reports as i have not included the reports statements inside args
task cucumber() {
dependsOn assemble, testClasses
doLast {
javaexec {
main = "io.cucumber.core.cli.Main"
classpath = configurations.cucumberRuntime + sourceSets.main.output + sourceSets.test.output
args = ['--plugin', 'pretty',
'--glue','com.hal.brands.test.stepdefinition',
'src/test/resources','src/main/java',
'--tags', '#Api'
]
}
}
}
b) I tried to include the few statements related to reporting as shown in below gradle task but it failed with a exception
task cucumber() {
dependsOn assemble, testClasses
doLast {
javaexec {
main = "io.cucumber.core.cli.Main"
classpath = configurations.cucumberRuntime + sourceSets.main.output + sourceSets.test.output
args = ['--plugin', 'pretty', 'json:target/HalBrands.json', 'com.aventstack.extentreports.cucumber.adapter.ExtentCucumberAdapter:',
'--monochrome', 'true',
'--features','src\test\resources\featurefile',
'--glue','com.hal.brands.test.stepdefinition',
'src/test/resources','src/main/java',
'--tags', '#Api'
]
}
}
}

I am not sure where i am going wrong in the above 'b' gradle task . Please help with me at the earliest as iam literally wasting lot of time here trying out many possibilities. Also i want to keep you informed that i am new gradle stuff.
Have also copied cucumberoptions as present in my cucumber runner file
#CucumberOptions(features = { "classpath:featurefile" }, glue = { "classpath:com.hal.brands.test.stepdefinition",
"classpath:com.hal.brands.helper" },
plugin = { "pretty", "json:target/HalBrands.json", "com.aventstack.extentreports.cucumber.adapter.ExtentCucumberAdapter:" },
monochrome = true, tags = "#Api")

Answer 1

Pls take off the json: to get rid of the exception you are getting wrt to invalid scheme!
