Specifying "parameter" as parameter from command line.

[Tarun Bhadauria]

I have a parameter - <parameter name="appURL" value="http://www.gutegutscheine.de/" />

Which is used for test execution.

1. Is it possible to have it passed from command line while using testng comnnad line execution? I noticed command line parameter and the one available with ant but could not find it.
2. Many of my classes use this parameter and I wonder if my classes would still be able to use it when specifying it from command line.

Thanks

Yes, you can specify it as a system property to the JVM (java -Dparameter=value) and TestNG will turn it into a parameter.

Dumb question 1 -

I am using "ant" to execute tests, so I execute "run" target as -

ant run

Now I want to pass URL parameter from ant instead of testng,xml file, so I tried -

ant -Durl = "yahoo.com" run

And this results in test failure as my test method expecting "url" parameter can not access it. And I don't have "url" parameter defined in testng.xml file also...

Now how would I establish the correspondence b/w ant and testng test methods so that my test methods take the parameter which is passed from command line.

Thanks

Are you specifying delegateCommandSystemProperties="true"?

    <testng outputdir="${testng.report.dir}"

        classpathref="run.cp"

        useDefaultListeners="true"

        delegateCommandSystemProperties="true"

        outputDir="${testng.report.dir}">

      <xmlfileset dir="${test.resources.dir}" includes="testng-single.xml"/>

     </testng>
