Greetings,

I have posted this question on Stackoverflow site:

I am Unsure how to launch the runner class within Eclipse using AbstractTestNGCucumberTests

I have a project set up, intended to use TestNG to run a Cucumber test suite.

I have followed all the steps in all the docs I can find, but I am unable to launch the runner in a manner which recognizes the testNG annotations in the class, such as @BeforeMethod

The project runs fine as a Junit test if I uncomment the @RunWith line in the runner class, but when I comment the @RunWith, then it does not launch as a TestNG project, and still behaves as a junit project.

If I select the CukesRunner an click "Run-As" there is no run type displayed, and I can only select to run it as Junit from the history record. I can find no way of launching the Cukesrunner such that it invokes the TestNG behavior of the AbstractTestNGCucumberTests class.

The TestNG plugin is working fine on this system, testNG enable projects run fine when they do not include the cucumber nor AbstractTestNGCucumberTests class.

Here are the key components of the project:

Hi Krishna,

I have already read that article, but it is rather confusing and conflicts with other articles I have seen on the internet.

For example, it shows an @RunWith annotation in the runner class, and I believe that is not correct, based on other posts i have seen, since it is a Junit annotation.

Also, the article does not explain how to launch nor invoke the runner from within Eclipse [or any other IDE]....

So no, I am afraid that article does not help at all....

Any other pointers ?

I have no idea what Eclipse use to determine that a class should have a "run as" option for TestNG.

There is a TestNG plugin for Eclipse; when that is installed, users can highlight any class or object they wish to run and right click on it. A drop-down appears and TestNG is offered as an option for "run configuration". If you select TestNG, then eclipse will execute the object and will interpret and act upon any
TestNG annotations it finds in the object.

I have a project set up, intended to use TestNG to run a Cucumber test suite.

Thanks Björn, I think you was articulated the unspoken issue which I have not found explained anywhere previously, and that is, that there are in fact TWO completely different forms of annotation involved.

1) TestNG annotations which belong in the runner class, and

2) Cucumber-JVM annotations which belong in the steps class.

The examples I have seen of TestNG related steps files include the annotations @Before and @After, and it appeared to me that these were TestNG annotations. But you have pointed out that they are in fact different animals from a different species. It would have been nice if that could have been clearly documented somewhere in a definitive javadoc type page. The so-called docs for TestNG under cucumber are scattered among a lot of poorly written blog posts, leaving me unsure what to really believe.

Thanks again.

For what I remember of the TestNG integration that article looks pretty accurate. It has a lot of detail on aspects you probably won't need and it assumes that the reader knows how to write Cucumber step definitions (that are never shown).

You might want to take a look at the official example that is much simpler: https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-jvm/tree/master/examples/java-calculator-testng

For example, it shows an @RunWith annotation in the runner class, and I believe that is not correct, based on other posts i have seen, since it is a Junit annotation.

Yes, it shows the @RunWith annotation but that code is introduced by this sentence: "With JUnit, the integration is quite straight forward, we simply need to create a test runner class like this".

Also, the article does not explain how to launch nor invoke the runner from within Eclipse [or any other IDE]....

Hope you have a build system (Maven, Gradle, ...) to verify that the code you wrote runs correctly before trying the IDE integration. Or you can try and run an existing working example in the IDE, like the Java Calculator TestNG above.

If you do both at the same time you won't know which part you are getting wrong :-)

That is highly confusing. the article does not show an example of how to set up a runner with TestNG, only the old method using Junit.

That is very poor writing and unhelpful.

Also, the article does not explain how to launch nor invoke the runner from within Eclipse [or any other IDE]....

I find it more useful to do the opposite. That is run it in the IDE, before doing command line maven execution.

The IDE presents lots of easy to ready debugging reports, and a nice console to monitor progress.
Maven command line gives a lot of irrelevant build reports which do not interest me in the first instance when working with prototype code.

If you do both at the same time you won't know which part you are getting wrong :-)

Sorry, you lost me there. My IDE is working fine.

There is another thing which I do not understand about the TestNg setup
for Cucumber....

What is the purpose of the TestNG.xml file ?

In a standard Cucumber project, e.g using Junit, the project executes
all the steps files whose name correspond to features files
in the resources folder. This method of flow control works well for me.

However, several blog posts I have seen claim that is is necessary to
have a testng.xml file, and that the primary purpose of the testng.xml
file is to
contain tags which identify certain packages, or classes or methods
which need to be executed. That appears to be completely redundant and
pointless, since Cucumber already has a built in process for selecting
which classes to run.

Or does the testng.xml take precedence over the standard Cucumber
behavior ?

I would appreciate some advice about that.

Thanks,

CFR.

Does that mean I do not need a testng.xml file in my cucumber testng projects ?

Is the testng.xml required ? Is it optional? Has it been recently deprecated ?

Should I ignore the various blog posts which talk about using a testng.xml file with cucumber ?

The java-calculator-testng exemplifies several variants for runner classes to start Cucumber-JVM from TestNG, so right-clicking on:

and selecting the appropriate "run-as" option I guess.

testng.xml belongs to the TestNG realm, not to the Cucumber-JVM realm. In a project with several runner classes for TestNG, testng.xml could select which of those to execute, but it cannot affect what Cucumber-JVM does when it has been started by the runner class. That is controlled by @CucumberOptions annotation or the -Dcucumber.options setting.

Alas that does not work .... the "Run As" list is empty when I right click on each of those objects.... and I am unable to set up a new "Run configuration", since Eclipse insists that the "Cucmber-jvm project does not exist" .... even though it is clearly visible in eclipse with my eyeball ....

Am I the only person on this list who uses eclipse ?

I really need some advice here. Running in maven only is not viable for code development.

What IDE do you use ? Maybe I should switch.....

Certainly not the only one using Eclipse, but perhaps the only one
trying to use TestNG under Eclipse. I tried that years ago (without
Cucumber in the mix), and had trouble. I didn't get much help from the
TestNG list, but perhaps you can find some help there now.

Thanks George.

My colleagues [at two different companies] and I have been fairly
successful using TestNG within Eclipse.

Adding cucumber to the mix seems problematic.

I've installed Eclipse 4.6.0, TestNG plugin 6.9.12 and imported the
Maven project java-calculator-testng (removing the -SNAPSHOT version
of the parent pom). Right clicked on RunCukesTest.java and selected
"Run As" -> "TestNG Test" and all features ran.

Then the menu disappeared. Good old unpredictable Eclipse!

If I add "@Test public void empty() {}" to RunCukesTest I can see the
menu again, so that makes me think that the Eclipse TestNG plugin
doesn't look for the @Test annotation in the parent
AbstractTestNGCucumberTests class. Not sure how it worked the first
time.

Adding a TestNG configuration ("Run As" -> "Run Configurations..." /
"TestNG") for the class works, so you should be OK.
