How to send email on test failure

[Unni]

I want to send an email on Test Failure. While searching i got the below link which explain the task.

http://openwritings.net/public/ant/send-email-if-tests-failed-using-ant


But that is not working for me. Can anyone else help me out by checking this link.

My query is what is 'test.failed' and how it gets value from testng as said in the article. Is this the default value we need to provide or Do we need to give any other value? Also what is failonerror property means??

My execution does not provide me any info and not send a mail though i have a failure in the TestNG report.

1) Isn't it rather a job for CI server to send notifications?
2) If you really want TestNG to do the job, you can write your own
listener (see documentation)

Hi

test.failed is a property that will get set by testng if any of the
tests failed. The bit that sets it is

<!-- Your TestNG target -->
<target name="run_testng" >
<testng failureProperty="test.failed">
<!-- ... your TestNG instructions here... -->
</testng>
</target>

The failureProperty attribute of the testng task tells it what
property to set if a test fails. There's also a skippedProperty
element to let you know if any tests are skipped. See the
documentation on the ant task.

After the run_testng target you'd then want the email target to run IF
and ONLY IF there were failures. As the example showed, but with a
dependency that they'd forgotten:

<target name="sendMail" if="test.failed" depends="run_testng">
<mail mailhost="your.mail.smtp.com" mailport="25"
failonerror="false"
subject="Your subject here...">

<from address="fr...@company.com"/>

<to address="t...@company.com"/>
<to address="t...@company.com"/>
<to address="t...@company.com"/>
<to address="t...@company.com"/>

<message>Your message here....</message>

<fileset dir=".">
<include name="filename.txt"/>
</fileset>
</attachments>

</mail>
</target>

Dear John,

I have put the dependency too , yet its not working.. below is the part of my build file. I have added a target called "sendMail" and a 'failureproperty" attribute in testng tag of target 'run'. The target run was already available in my project. Also as you can see i am using reportNG... is it because of this i am not able to send email?

<target name="run" depends="compile">
    <!--
        testng classpath has been provided reference of jar files and compiled classes
    This will generate report NG report.
    -->
    <testng classpath="${test.classpath}:${classes.dir}" failureproperty="test.failed">
        <xmlfileset dir="${basedir}/config/ny" includes="testng.xml" />
    </testng>
</target>
   
      <!--
        The target sendMail will be executed only if test.failed is true.
          test.failed value come from <testng>, see run_testng target above.
          Therefore, email will be sent only if the test failed.
      -->

    <target name="sendMail" if="test.failed" depends="run">

        <mail mailhost="smtp.xxx.com" mailport="25" failonerror="false" subject="Your subject here...">
     
          <from address="x...@mm.com"/>
     
          <to address="x...@mm.com"/>

     
          <message>Your message here....</message>

          </mail>
       </target>

Thanks

any finding??

You need to use ITestListener class and  ontestfailure call mail API..
Thanks,

any finding??

I try to run scripts using testng, I have 4 packages. When i start the test
execution, it starts with first module and before it finishes, it starts
with second module test cases. Now again returns to first module test cases
and searches for components, cant find and it finallly fails. Is there any
way to keep the test execution happen in order specified.

Use preserve-order=true ?

Can you show us your testng suite file so that someone can provide a much more apt answer ?

Note that this is the default, unless he's using a pretty old version of TestNG.

Hi,

I have tried using preserve order but it doesn't work. I also tried using
methods in classes.

<test name="Pos" >
<classes>
<class name="com.abc.xyz.Pos">
<methods>
<include name="Pos001" />
<include name="Pos002" />
<include name="Pos003" />
<include name="Pos004_Pos031" />
<include name="Pos006" />
<include name="Pos007" />
<include name="Pos008" />
<include name="Pos009" />
</methods>
</class>

I uninstalled latest 6.4 testng and installed 6.1 but it didnt help. I try
to upgrade to later version but it shows error message. Any idea on how to
solve this issue?


Regs,

Swetha,

I think preserve-order="true" is applicable only for <classes></classes>

Thanks & Regards

[Cédric Beust ♔]

preserve-order should work for methods as well.

Swetha: can you create a small self-contained project that I can build to reproduce the issue?

Thanks.
