Error "No test suite found. Nothing to run"

[Omair-Inam Abdul-Matin]

I took a build.xml and suite.xml file from a project where testng was running correctly .. copied it to another project.. and now I can't run the tests anymore.. 

C:\project\bin>ant testng

Buildfile: C:\project\bin\build.xml

testng:

My ant target looks like this:

    <path id="test.complete.classpath">

        <fileset refid="test-dependencies.fileset"/>

        <path refid="test.classpath"/>

        <fileset dir="${test.resources.dir}">

        </fileset>

        <fileset dir="${build.test.dir}">

            <include name="**/*.class"/>

        </fileset>

    </path>

    <target name="testng" >

        <delete quiet="true">

            <fileset dir="${testng.report.dir}"/>

            <fileset dir="${test.coverage.dir}"/>

        </delete>

        <mkdir dir="${testng.report.dir}"/>

        <mkdir dir="${test.coverage.dir}"/>

        <testng outputDir="${testng.report.dir}"

                workingDir="${test.resources.dir}"

                haltOnfailure="false"

                useDefaultListeners="false"

                listeners="org.uncommons.reportng.HTMLReporter,org.testng.reporters.JUnitXMLReporter,org.uncommons.reportng.JUnitXMLReporter"

                groups="unit" verbose="1"

                >

            <jvmarg value="-Dlog4j.configuration=file:log4j.properties" />

            <jvmarg value="-Dquest.debug=1" />

            <jvmarg value="-Xdebug"/>

            <jvmarg value="-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005"/>

            <classpath refid="test.complete.classpath"/>

            <sysproperty key="org.uncommons.reportng.title" value="Some Unit Tests"/>

            <xmlfileset dir="bin" includes="suite.xml"/>

        </testng>

    </target>

My suite.xml looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://beust.com/testng/testng-1.0.dtd" >

<suite name="TestSuite" verbose="1">

    <test name="TEST-Unit">

        <classes>

            <class name="com.somepackage.TransactionTestNGTest" />

        </classes>

        <groups>

            <run>

                <exclude name="brokenTests"  />

                <include name="unit"  />

            </run>

        </groups>

    </test>

</suite>

I've verified that the suite.xml file exists .. if I change the xmlfileset file to point to a non-existent suite.xml file: I get a different error:

BUILD FAILED

C:\source\Destiny_OneCE\SRSAD_UCSC\bin\build-test.xml:92: No suites, classes, methods or jar file was specified.

Does anyone have any idea what's going wrong here?

I found out the issue I was facing.. I was including reportNG as a maven dependency using the maven ant task which defines a transitive dependency on TestNG 5.0 which was getting picked up first and that was causing everything to fail..

Thanks for taking the time to explain the problem, it might come in handy for future readers.
