calling parameters from another xml

[JT_selenium]

Hi,

I have parent xml and different child xmls. I want to declare all parameters in parent xml and need to get available in child xml so that i dont need to keep same parameters in all xmls. Is there any way i can do this. I got some solution like below but its not working

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://beust.com/testng/testng-1.0.dtd" [<!ENTITY parent SYSTEM "../parent.xml">]>

where above line is declared in child.xml to call parameters from parent.xml but its not working or not able to link parameters. If there is any other solution to link different xmls please let me know.

thanks,

JT

I wasnt aware that TestNG suite xmls can extend each other. 

Cedric,

Is this present in TestNG ?

You can include suites in each other with the <suite-files> tag.

Hi Cedric,

Any solutions where i can describe common parameters in one xml and call that xml in another test suites?

I dont want to use <suite-files> tag as i need to repeat all parameters again in different xmls which i dont want.

Any help will be appreciate.....

thanks,

Jt

Got the solution where xml parameters can be defined at one place and can be called in mulitple suite files so need to declare common parameters again. 

Declare like below: 

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://beust.com/testng/testng-1.0.dtd" [<!ENTITY parent SYSTEM "../parent.xml">]>

and in parameter field just declare

&parent......it willl take care.

That's really interesting! Thanks for sharing this info. I never knew about this till now :)

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://beust.com/testng/testng-1.0.dtd" [<!ENTITY parent SYSTEM "../parent.xml">]>

<parameters>&parent;</parameters>

Using above approach is broken with TestNG 10+. Anyone aware of it?

Below is the error we are getting now for "parameters" tag in xml

 org.testng.TestNGException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 10; columnNumber: 15; Element type "parameters" must be declared.
