TestNG not running tests in testing suite

Question

I\'m trying to run a testing suite using XML and TestNG, but I\'m always getting the same message using both: Eclipse and the command line:

[TestNG] Running:
  /         


        

Answer 1

In my case, the test was accidentally marked as "enabled = false" inside the @Test(...). Make sure the value for you is marked as "true".

Answer 2

I had the same problem and here is my results: In my project I had test file in

src/test/java/com/temporary/core

and in the same time I had resources for the test in

src/test/resources/com/temporary/Core

As I found, testng tried to find test file in the second directory.

When I renamed directory with resources from Core to tcore, the problem was fixed.

Answer 3

In my case, the @Test annotation was imported automatically by IDE as import org.junit.Test.

After changing it to import org.testng.annotations.Test the tests got picked up correctly.

Answer 4

There were two problems in the code:
1. This was because, my @Test method was calling another method which will return a Boolean. Once I commented the same @Test and the method, the whole testNG xml started working.
2. Second mistake was , I was using the below ,that was a wrong assignment of Poi Classes. Workbook WB = new XSSFWorkbook(FIS); Sheet WSh= WB.getSheetAt(1); I changed the above to below: XSSFWorkbook WB = new XSSFWorkbook(FIS); XSSFSheet WSh= WB.getSheetAt(1); After both of those above corrections, the script started working.

Answer 5

Apparently, TestNG is wrong regarding generating the XML file for the testing suite.

Even though following their instructions to the letter, my tests were not running. I ended up with this testng.xml file and my tests, started to run:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="TestingSuite" parallel="none">
  <test name="Test1">
    <classes>
      <class name="tests.Page1"/>
    </classes>
  </test>
    <test name="Test 2">
        <classes>
            <class name="tests.Page2"/>
        </classes>
    </test>
</suite>

Answer 6

if the @Test method is public boolean() with return type as true/flase it doesnot execute.. strange but worked in my-case.
