Unable to execute <package> when testing in container = WebLogic

[Ed Young]

Why would in-container execution fail only <package> elements?

I'm programmatically executing testng.xml files by passing them into org.testng.xml.Parser.Parser(InputStream).  When I deploy my in container tests to WebLogic, I can execute just about any testng.xml suite except for those that specify a package. 

For example: 

<suite name="Test Suite" verbose="1">

<test name="Test">

  <packages>

      <package name="com.mycompany.neto.qa.ws.testng"/>

    </packages>

</test>

</suite>

Executes fine when I run it from eclipse, but when I build it into an ear, and deploy it to WebLogic, it apparently can't find any classes to execute. The test-results look like this

<testng-results>

  <reporter-output>

  </reporter-output>

  <suite name="Test Suite">

    <groups>

    </groups>

    <test name="Test">

    </test>

  </suite>

</testng-results>

I see that the testng.xml file is getting through to the call, but it shows no tests are executed. 

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">

<suite name="Test Suite" verbose="1">

<test name="Test">

<packages>

<package name="com.comcast.neto.qa.ws.testng"/>

    </packages>

        </test>

</suite>

This looks like a classpath problem.  I haven't used an ear file in a while but can't you specify additional classpath entries in its MANIFEST or something like that?

I don't know...I'm using maven to do all the heavy lifting of creating the ear file. I'll see if I can find a way to add additional classpath entries using maven.

I can execute this kinds of suites no problem:

<suite name="Test Suite" verbose="1">

<test name="Test">

  <classes>

 <class name="com.comcast.neto.qa.ws.testng.DemoTest"/>

  <methods>

      <include name="testMethod1" />

  </methods>

      </classes>

</test>

</suite>
