+##### SBT workarounds
+
+The `sbt-jupiter-interface` assumes that all tests directly under a test engine
+have a class source. This is not the case for Cucumber. By running Cucumber
+indirectly through the JUnit Platform Suite Engine and disabling discovery when
+run directly as a "root engine" this problem is avoided.
+
+Add to `junit-platform.properties`: 
+
+```
+cucumber.junit-platform.discovery.as-root-engine=false
+```

 #### Use the JUnit Console Launcher ###
