While reworking a project in Intellij into modules, i came across this error:

refactoring intellij-idea module java

I later found out that the Run configuration was wrong due to the refactoring and then defaulted, thus causing an error.

The way I fixed it was to delete all configurations (drop down in top right of image) and also remove cucumber java by selecting and clicking the "-"

Then I right clicked on the Main application i wanted to run and selected run, or ctrl + shift + F10 for the short cut.

I think I found a solution. By adding below dependency to pom.xml will clear above exception

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.cucumber/cucumber-java -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
    <artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId>
    <version>5.7.0</version>
</dependency>

For me the answer of @kruemelnerd worked. Just the classname needs to be uppercase: io.cucumber.core.cli.Main

If you want to change this in general, open the link at the bottem left of the Run/Debug Configurations window: "Edit configurations template...", select Cucumber Java and set the value Main class to io.cucumber.core.cli.Main.
