Can anyone help me start using testNG in IntelliJ?

[Sorin]

Hi Everyone!

I am very new to testNG, IntelliJ and Java development, so please be patient with me :)

My goal is to create performance tests using Selenium WebDriver, IntelliJ IDEA, Java and testNG.

What I have so far is a Java class in IntelliJ that is working fine (for one user though):
- It is a very simple one, until I get to know enough to scale it to a full performance test

Since I have no idea how to setup testNG, including the annotations and everything else about it, I am wondering... is there any documentation about starting with testNG & IntelliJ from zero?

Thank you in advance!

Regards!

The documentation on jet brains website should get you started with intellij and testng.

To learn testng I will recommend that you get a copy of  http://testng.org/doc/book.html

I generally avoid setting up projects directly with the IDE, I much
prefer a separate file specifying dependencies etc. I used to be a fan
of the Gradle eclipse and idea plugins, getting Gradle to set up the
Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA plugins. Now though Eclipse Gradle plugin
works well, and the IntelliJ IDEA Gradle plugin is seeming excellent.

So for me, Step 1 is set up a Gradle build for the project, the Step 2
is import the Gradle build into IntelliJ IDEA thereby making a project.

Set up a Gradle build (see http://www.gradle.org), one I have does thing
such as:

apply plugin: 'java'

sourceCompatibility = 8

repositories {
jcenter()
mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
testCompile 'org.testng:testng:6.8.17'
// It seems that TestNG is failing to transitively demand this
dependency :-((
testCompile 'com.google.inject:guice:2.0'
}

test {
useTestNG()
}

clean.doLast {
delete 'test-output'
}

defaultTasks 'test'

Ensure you have the IntelliJ Gradle plugin installed, import the Gradle
project, have everything Just Work™

I had assumed everyone had stopped using Maven and moved to Gradle. But
I guess Maven is like Ant, some people will keep on using it ;-)

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

I haven't heard of many people use Gradle in this forum.. but I have seen a lot of people use Maven... So I guess yea, many of us will still use Maven, while the new and adventurous ones explore the new tools :)

Well, this dependency is marked as "provided" in TestNG's pom.xml, so it seems like this is working as intended, right?

I clearly was not looking at this clearly enough. Yes if the dependency
is "provided" then it must be provided and not left for transitive
collection. I'll change my comment, and possibly the Gradle
dependencies.

I got a bit worked up because I originally depended on Guice 3 and
nothing compiled.

It is all working tickety boo now.

That's two storms in a row :)
