[testng-users] TestNG and Surefire

[mane_uk]

Hi all,

I have previously asked a question on this Forum about
NullPointerException error coming up once I converted my JUnit test into
TestNG -
http://old.nabble.com/Getting-and-NullPointerError-when-converting-JUnit-to-TestNG-td33251900.html
NullPointerException Error question .

After doing loads of tests I found out that the error won't come up if I
delete in my pom.xml the <groups> from the <configuration> in my surefire
(see below).

<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.12</version>
<configuration>
<!-- <groups>functest</groups> -->
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.testng</groupId>
<artifactId>testng</artifactId>
</dependency>
...

The POM.xml above works but once that I put back the groups it won't
work. The NullPointerErrorException comes up again when running my "mvn
clean test". I have tried changing the surefire version to 2.10 and 2.12 -
as I was using 2.11 and read that the 2.11 version was having some problem
with TestNG - but it also didn't work. I am using TestNG 6.3.1.

Any ideas on how to fix it please?

Thanks

The following works for me

<plugin> 

 <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> 

 <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> 

 <version>2.6</version> 

 <configuration> 

         <groups>datatest</groups> 

 </configuration> 

</plugin>

Thanks & Regards

Tried 2.6 but I didn't work as soon as I got the groups in it.

Any other ideas? Thks

Just one more point to extend my previous question... I have found out that
it doesn't seem to be running anything that I enter as <configuration>. I
have tried including an specific file but it didn't run the file. I tried
including the following on my POM:

<configuration>
<includes>
<include>"**/*Test.java"</include>
</includes>
</configuration>

and it didn't run any of my files on "mvn clean test" even though all files'
names finish in Test.
Any ideas please? Thks

Cedric,

My project is huge and have loads of dependencies so I wouldn't be able
to only partially send it as it would not work but most of all,
unfortunately, it is a company policy that I can't post any complete code
outside work. Sorry.

I do understand this will probably make it almost impossible for you to
help me out but is there any path that I can try and follow to correct this
error that happens every time I enter any information in the maven-surefire
<configuration>? Any tests?

Other point to note is that if I run the code on eclipse it works ok.
Just breaks when I run on command line "mvn clean test".

Thanks

Please email me a zipped version of your project (as small as possible) so
I can try to reproduce this here.

Thanks.

Can you create a project from scratch that shows the problem?

If this is the same problem you had last time you asked, it looked at thou it was because you were running with groups, and your @BeforeMethod method didn't have a group specifier.

Spot on Mark, this was the problem... I have just included alwaysrun=true on
my @BeforeMethod and it is working now.

Cheers
