6.9.11 throws NoClassDefFoundError when running test in Intellij 15

[Nagesh]

I upgraded my project from 6.9.9 to 6.9.11. Running a test in Intellij with 6.9.9 proceeded without errors. But now when I run my test from Intellij with 6.9.11 I get the following error immediately -

When I run from command line with 6.9.11 I don't encounter this problem. 

Do I need to update anything else on my end (besides changing the pom) to make it work with Intellij? Anybody else seeing this issue?

Can somebody confirm if 6.9.11 is working on *any* version of Intellij. Greatly appreciate your feedback.

Nagesh,

I can't seem to recreate your problem. Am running on IntelliJ 2016.1 with TestNG version 6.9.11

Code:

public class SampleTestNG {
    @Test
    public void testMethod() {
        String loc = TestNG.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().toExternalForm();
        System.err.println("Using TestNG version :" + new File(loc).getParentFile().getName());
    }
}

Output:

[TestNG] Running:

  /Users/krmahadevan/Library/Caches/IntelliJIdea2016.1/temp-testng-customsuite.xml

Using TestNG version :6.9.11

===============================================

Default Suite

Total tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Skips: 0

Thanks & Regards

It is a IntelliJ issue which is fixed in latest releases: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-150806

Hi Krishnan - Thank you for letting me know it works with the 2016 version.

Julien - Thank you for pointing me to the fix which provided some insight into the issue. I was indeed on a build (15.0.5 - 143.x) that did not have the fix.

I am on 2016.1.1 now and I am able to run tests in the IDE.
