How to run multiple test suites using maven

[Rivlin Pereira]

All,

First of all apologies for posting this question in selenium group. I am using maven for doing builds and using the suirefire plugin to run webdriver tests. I have multiple suite files and i am trying to figure out how to run xml file of my choice from them.

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.12</version>
                <configuration>
                    <!-- Configuring the test suites to execute -->
                    <suiteXmlFiles>
                        <suiteXmlFile>test-suites/audiosuiteFirefox.xml</suiteXmlFile>
                        <suiteXmlFile>test-suites/addcontentsuiteFirefox.xml</suiteXmlFile>
                        <suiteXmlFile>test-suites/audiosuiteChrome.xml</suiteXmlFile>
                        <suiteXmlFile>test-suites/corepublishersuite.xml</suiteXmlFile>
                        <suiteXmlFile>test-suites/tablequeuesuiteFirefox.xml</suiteXmlFile>
                    </suiteXmlFiles>

                </configuration>
            </plugin>

I am using mvn clean test -Dtest='my suite file' but i am not able to run my suite file. Any ideas how to get around this?

Thanks,

[Frank Escobar]

I think that just you can run tests suites in parallel from one file xml. You should specify in a file all you testsuites.  For example:

MY TESTNG.XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<suite name="REGRESSION TESTS" parallel="tests" verbose="1" thread-count="3">
<parameter name="serverHost" value="localhost" />
<parameter name="serverPort" value="4444" />
<parameter name="environmentDRCC" value="http://localhost:9095/system-gui/" />

<test name="Tests in CHROME" preserve-order="true">
  <parameter name="browser" value="chrome" />
     <classes>
        <class name="com.system.tests.SmokeTest"/>
    </classes>
</test>

<test name="Tests in FIREFOX" preserve-order="true">
  <parameter name="browser" value="firefox" />
    <classes>
      <class name="com.system.tests.SmokeTest"/>
    </classes>
</test>

</suite>

MY POM.XML

<build>

<plugins>

<plugin>

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

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

<configuration>

<suiteXmlFiles>

<suiteXmlFile>src/test/resources/com/system/configurations/testng.xml</suiteXmlFile>

</suiteXmlFiles>

</configuration>

</plugin>

</plugins>

</build>

Hi Frank,

Thanks for your quick reply. I will try that. It is interesting with maven though how you can do things. I was using ant previously and there was a way to run a xml file of your choice from command line. But this option that you have suggested sounds good. 

Thanks,

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

Rivlin,

The option suggested by Frank will ensure all your tests are run. 

Here is what you can do in your pom file if you want to be able to pick and choose what suite to run at run time. 

Define a property in your pom file

<properties>

<suiteFile>src/test/resources/myxml.xml</suiteFile>

</properties>

now refer this property in your surefire plug-in. 

<suiteXmlFiles>

<suiteXmlFile>${suiteFile}</suiteXmlFile>

</suiteXmlFiles>

Once this is done you can switch to any suite file of your choice by passing the file name from command. 

mvn clean test -DsuiteFile=src/test/resources/another.xml

Hi Krishnan,

Thank you for your input. I definitely have everything I need now :)

Krishnan -- you are a genius.  That suiteFile property idea worked perfectly for me.  

I'm surprised more people on earth don't seem to want to be able to run a specific suite xml file (I've searched all over for a way before I found this thread). 

If this were on stackoverflow, I'd upvote you.  Thanks!

Am glad it worked. :)

H Krishnan,

I am new to selenium a,TestNG and maven, but the same requirement i need to implement in my project. please can you share samples how you achieved this.

1. How to create testsuite xml in selenium

2. how we can run a required suite from different test suites

3.is it required to configure all test suites in testng?

4.how to configure that testNG xml file in POM XML?

5.how i can run a specific test suite from maven.

please, dont mind, am very new to this tool.

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

First things first.

Your query doesn't have anything to do with WebDriver/Selenium. I would recommend that you please post your query [ 1 post per query is what I would recommend ] in the testng-users google forum.

My answers to your questions :

1. How to create testsuite xml in selenium

>>>>>>>>>>>>Refer here : http://www.tutorialspoint.com/testng/testng_suite_test.htm

2. how we can run a required suite from different test suites

>>>>>>>>>>>>I am not sure what you are asking for here.

3.is it required to configure all test suites in testng?

>>>>>>>>>>>>Not sure what you are asking for here.

4.how to configure that testNG xml file in POM XML?

>>>>>>>>>>>>Please refer here : https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/

5.how i can run a specific test suite from maven.

>>>>>>>>>>>>The answer to this question already is answered by me in this thread in an earlier response. Please go through this thread once again.

Thanks & Regards
Krishnan Mahadevan

Thanks in advance

[Srikanth K]

Hello Krishnan,

Thanks in advance

 <properties>
          <suiteFile>src/test/resources/abc.xml</suiteFile>
          <suiteFile>src/test/resources/def.xml</suiteFile>

i run the command "mvn clean test -DsuiteXmlFile=src/test/resources/abc.xml"
Still  Don't have a clue why it is running all the suites? Please help me with your inputs as to what might be wrong?

You should be able to do it like below :

Define a property in your pom file

<properties>

<suiteFolder>src/test/resources</suiteFolder>

<suiteFile>myxml.xml</suiteFile>

</properties>

now refer this property in your surefire plug-in. 

<suiteXmlFiles>

<suiteXmlFile>${suiteFolder}/${suiteFile}</suiteXmlFile>

</suiteXmlFiles>

With this, you now have the ability to change both the folder and the file.

Use -DsuiteFolder if you want to point to a different folder and 

Use -DsuiteFile -f you want to point to a different file.

If you don't pass either of the above two args, the default value will be taken [ default value is what you defined in the <properties> section ]

Hi Krishnan

first of all, thank you for your method provided here, i just try to use your way $${suiteFolder}/${suiteFile} to set in the pom.xml, but i found i am not able to run multiple testng.xml, i run mvn command like: mvn clean install -DsuiteFile=testng1.xml, testng2.xml and it is not running, it seems i can only assign one testng.xml file if i set two property ${suiteFolder}/${suiteFile}

Hi krishna,

   I have created testng.xml and created suite with two classes as below

<classes>

<class name="com.dtcc.ete.ui.SettlWebDashboardTest" />

<class name="com.dtcc.ete.ui.WindownLimitsProfileTest" />

</classes>

but i need to run only specific tests like Regression or Smoke through mvn command line and i tried the below command but it was not working for me but the same command is working fine to one of my team mate.

 i have created @ test as

@Test(groups ={"sanity","regression"},enabled = true,description="Verify SettlWebDashboard", dataProvider = "SWebAutomation")

Command i have used:

mvn test -Dgroups=regression

please suggest .

Thanks

Boopathi
