How do I test multiple browsers in Selenium WebDriver

Question

We are using Selenium WebDriver and Cucumber for our Acceptance testing. We have a collection of Features that we want to test, each with multiple scenarios, here is an example:

 Scenario Outline: Unsuccessful login with W3ID credentials Given I navigate to the Bluecost Spreadsheet Upload Web url and receive a login screen When I login using invalid credentials: "<user_id>" and "<user_pwd>" Then the W3ID will reject my credentials, produce an error message and I will not proceed to BCSUW Examples: | user_id | user_pwd | | baduserid | badpass |

I want to test each one of these Scenarios with each browser that we need to support: FireFox, Edge, and Chrome. How do I run those Features and Scenarios for each one of those 3 browsers?

Do I have to write each scenario with a 'browser_type' variable that I supply on each scenario instance? Or is there another way? — JamesD

You should be able to pass 'browser_type' as a variable to the method that instantiates your driver and run the same scenario. if (browser_type.equals("firefox")) { //make instantiate driver for firefox} and similarly other browsers. — PJAutomator

Yes, so it means that I have to repeat the same scenario for each browser type in the "Examples" section. Was hoping there was another way. — JamesD

For Selenium Webdriver you do not have to have Feature file however for the BDD like cucumber you can look at similar question here stackoverflow.com/questions/43446922/… — PJAutomator

I've read the post link above and one of the answers suits me: I'm going to execute all the Features/Scenarios for every browser under test. This may mean running the test 3 times through: Firefox, Chrome and Edge.
