Passing Variable parameter through testng.xml

[mahadi hasan]

Hi,

I am trying to write some variable parameter in testng.xml and the value of the variables i want pass by Jenkins. In order to do that i am trying to do the bellow:

 <test name="Functional test" preserve-order="true">
      <parameter name="testEnv" value=${testEnv}> </parameter>
    <classes>
      <class name="com.hero.TestClass"/>
    </classes>
  </test>


And in Jenkins i am creating a String Parameter:
Name: testEnv
Default Value: staging


Now when i run the test it says:
[testng] [TestNG] [Error] org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 11; columnNumber: 36; Open quote is expected for attribute "{1}" associated with an element type "value".


I am not sure if this is the correct way to do such types of job, can anyone please correct me where i am doing the wrong.

Best Regards,
Mahadi

I dont think you can do it this way. 

However if your project is a Maven project then you could do the following :

Add a <resources> [ for src/main/resources] or a <testResources> [ for src/test/resources ] in your <build> section. Add filtering to it and specify your suite file in it. Then you could specify 

mvn resources:resources / mvn resources:testResources to do this. 

Read more about this in http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/filter.html
