Eclipse template?

[selliott]

I'm probably missing something obvious but when I want to create a new
TestNG test in Eclipse I right click on the package to create New> but
I only see the JUnit template selection (even from Other).

Any hints on how to load a TestNG template into the Eclipse editor?

thx.

You can configure TestNG test as follows:

Run - > Run -> Select TestNG launch settings.

Thanks Kartik for the reply. Maybe I wasn't very good at explaining
what I meant by a template. The templates I am referring to appear
when you right click to create a New Java class or Enum or Interface
or... The result of the action is that a preconfigured template will
appear in the editor with the package and name you have given it.

I have read up on Eclipse templates and from what I can tell TestNG
does not have any installed but they do not appear to be difficult to
create.

Run or Run As... work just fine for me.

I never really implemented this because I didn't think that a template would be that useful, but I'm open to the idea.  I'm thinking such a template would contain a few imports and a class with one empty @BeforeMethod and one @Test method.

Is that what you had in mind?

It was. I was actually looking for a basic template (with imports and
a Before/After Test skeleton) which I could then extend because I have
boilerplate in a lot of my tests for Before/After methods.

Right now I create the template as JUnit then use the TestNG plugin to
convert it....;(

Yes, definitely not optimal...

A template would also help beginners with the common mistake of using @BeforeTest instead of @BeforeMethod...
