<parameters> tag not accepted in testng.xml after updating from TestNG 6.8 to 6.11 version.

[akshay....@agrostar.in]

My suite file looks something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd" [<!ENTITY parent SYSTEM "src/test/resources/base_params.xml">]> <suite name="MyTestSuite" verbose="1"> <parameters>&parent;</parameters> <listeners> <listener class-name="listener.ListenerClass" /> </listeners> <test name="Some Test"> <classes> <class name="test.Test" /> </classes> </test> </suite>

This worked perfectly fine till I was on TestNG 6.8 version, but soon after updating to TestNG 6.11 version, I get error "Element type "parameters" must be declared" on trying to run tests in this XML file.

I checked a related post on StackOverflow (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43220066/testng-6-10-issue-with-parameters-tag-in-xml), but it did not help.

Here's the full error log.

It must be <parameter>, not <parameters>
