org.testng.TestNGException: Parameter 'browser' is required by @Configuration on method beforeclass but has not been marked @Optional or defined

[prasanth kotagiri]

Hi,

Here is my code

package YatraBooking;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;

import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;

import org.testng.annotations.Parameters;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;

public class YatraBookingValidation {

public WebDriver driver;

  @Test

  public void f() {

 

 driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='BE_Nav']/li[2]/a/span")).click();

 

  }

  @BeforeClass

  @Parameters("browser")

  public void beforeclass(String browser) throws Exception {

 

 

 

  if(browser.equalsIgnoreCase("firefox")){

 

       //create firefox instance

 

           driver = new FirefoxDriver();

 

       }

 

//Check if parameter passed as 'chrome'

 

       else if(browser.equalsIgnoreCase("chrome")){

 

           //set path to chromedriver.exe You may need to download it from http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver

 

           System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","E:\\Data\\Prasanth\\Library\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");

 

           //create chrome instance

 

           driver = new ChromeDriver();

 

       }

  driver.get("http://yatra.com");

  Thread.sleep(3000);

 }

 

  

  @AfterClass

  public void afterClass() {

  }

}

Testng.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<suite name="Suite" parallel="tests">

  <test name="FirefoxTest">

  <parameter name="browser" value="Firefox"/>

    <classes>

      <class name="YatraBooking.YatraBookingValidation"/>

    </classes>

  </test> <!-- Test -->

  

  <test name="ChromeTest">

  <parameter name="browser" value="Chrome"/>

  <classes>

      <class name="YatraBooking.YatraBookingValidation"/>

    </classes>

  

  </test>

</suite> <!-- Suite -->

Here is my problem when i run the test from testng.xml the test is running fine and passed.

When i run the same test from POM.xml in MAVEN project it is throwing the following error like:

org.testng.TestNGException: Parameter 'browser' is required by @Configuration on method beforeclass but has not been marked @Optional or defined

Please provide me the suggestion ASAP

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

I cant recreate this problem.

Please show us the complete stacktrace of the failure when you run your tests from command prompt.

Also please show us how does your surefire plugin configuration look like in your pom file.

Thanks & Regards

My Complete Stack Trace:

Please find the attachment of report..

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

You aren't even using the TestNG suite xml file that you created.

You are directly using the class name in your surefire plugin section

<build>

  <pluginManagement>

    <plugins>

      <plugin>

        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>

        <version>2.19</version>

        <configuration>

        <includes>

          <include>YatraBookingValidation.java</include>

        </includes>

        </configuration>

      </plugin>

    </plugins>

  </pluginManagement>

</build>

Change this such that the plugin refers to your suite xml file (you should find samples of how to do it on the surefire plugin documentation site )

On a side note, for the below problem

java.lang.RuntimeException: Process refused to die after 10 seconds, and couldn't taskkill it: Unable to find executable for: taskkill at org.openqa.selenium.os.ProcessUtils.killWinProcess(ProcessUtils.java:142) at org.openqa.selenium.os.ProcessUtils.killProcess(ProcessUtils.java:81) at org.openqa.selenium.os.UnixProcess$SeleniumWatchDog.destroyHarder(UnixProcess.java:247) at org.openqa.selenium.os.UnixProcess$SeleniumWatchDog.access$2(UnixProcess.java:246) at org.openqa.selenium.os.UnixProcess.destroy(UnixProcess.java:125) at org.openqa.selenium.os.CommandLine.destroy(CommandLine.java:155) at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxBinary.quit(FirefoxBinary.java:259) at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.internal.NewProfileExtensionConnection.quit(NewProfileExtensionConnection.java:204) at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver$LazyCommandExecutor.quit(FirefoxDriver.java:364) at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver.stopClient(FirefoxDriver.java:310) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver.quit(RemoteWebDriver.java:519) at YatraBooking.YatraBookingValidation.afterClass(YatraBookingValidation.java:59)

Check if you have somewhere altered the PATH variable. 

On windows "taskkill" is expected to be found very easily. This normally comes up when you have altered the PATH variable and overwritten it with some random stuff.

[kishore ramineni]

Hi ,

I found alternative way to pass parameters.

By specifying the parameter values from sure-fire plug-in:  i have specified as follows

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>

        <version>2.19.1</version>
        <configuration>
          <systemProperties>
            <property>
              <name>browserType</name>
              <value>firefox</value>
            </property>
            <property>
              <name>appUrl</name>
              <value>https://www.expedia.com.au/</value>
            </property>
          </systemProperties>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>

instead of @parameters i have used  them sure-fire plugin with name and values pair.

But still i am not sure why it's not considering parameters from testng.xml. have to figure out that.

--Thanks,
kishore

[⇜Krishnan Mahadevan⇝]

Kishore,

I can't recreate your problem. I am able to run a suite xml file which has parameters defined in it using Maven.

Here's sample :

public class ParamsDemo {
    @BeforeClass
    @Parameters ("value")
    public void beforeClass(int value) {
        System.err.println("Value passed was : " + value);
    }

    @Test
    public void testMethod() {
        System.err.println("Hello world");
    }
}

[custom...@gmail.com]

Hi, did you find any solution for this problem? i have the same(( and cant find the solution

[⇜Krishnan Mahadevan⇝]

How are you running your test ? Am hoping you are running it from within the IDE by right clicking on the corresponding suite xml file and NOT by right clicking on the corresponding TestNG test class.

If the above still doesn't resolve your issue please make sure you include the following :

1. TestNG version (please use 6.11 which is the latest released version )
2. Sample test code which can be used to recreate the problem ( please trim it to a simple one which doesn't use any selenium etc )
3. How are you running it ? Via IDE (which IDE?) or via a build tool (Gradle/ant/maven) or via command prompt (using Java command)

Hi Krishnan,

I'm also facing same issue when I've below setup

 
    @BeforeSuite
    @Parameters({ "appName_" })
    public synchronized void setupMethod()

It works well in below case though

    @BeforeTest(alwaysRun = true)
    @Parameters({ "appName_" })
    public synchronized void setupMethod

My requirement is that I need to run multiple test classes in parallel but want to call @BeforeSuite in only 1st test class which does the setup.

Please clarify.

Thanks & Regards,
Vikram

[80Vikram]

I found this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10651725/how-to-use-testng-parameters-in-beforesuite-to-read-resource-file but it doesn't solve my problem

As I need to pass multiple parameter values for each of the test classes, how to define them at suite level ?

I need the setup for parallel execution with appium + selenium grid + all connected android emulators.

Thanks,
Vikram

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

Please share a simple test, which can be executed to reproduce the problem so that it would help folks here understand what is going wrong.

Also include the following information:

 

1. TestNG version [ The latest released version is 6.11]
2. How are you running the tests [via IDE or via a build tool]
3. What does your suite xml file look like

 

 

Thanks & Regards

Krishnan Mahadevan

Hi all who are facing this issue "Parameter 'browser' is required by BeforeTest on method setup but has not been marked @Optional or defined".

- run your test by doing -->right click-->run as Testng suite on your .xml class particularly. 

[akash kansal]

Hi,

Please Read this post. 

https://www.guru99.com/parameterization-using-xml-and-dataproviders-selenium.html

If still not able to solve then add testng.xml file  configuration in your pom.xml.

working fine in my project.

[Manish Chaudhari]

In xml file try with the below code: - 

Change the parameter line position in the xml file.

<suite name="Suite" parallel="tests">

<parameter name="browser" value="Firefox"/>

  <test name="FirefoxTest">

Manish,

You probably missed mentioning your testng.xml Surefire's configuration in POM:

<configuration>
    <suiteXmlFiles>
        <suiteXmlFile>${project.build.testOutputDirectory}/testng.xml</suiteXmlFile>
    </suiteXmlFiles>
</configuration>

Cheers,

Can you please try using TestNG 6.14.3 (the latest released version as of today) and let us know if this is still a problem ?

Since you haven’t shared the imports you are using, you might also want to quickly double check if the annotations are all from the TestNG project and not from the Junit project.

 

Thanks & Regards

Krishnan Mahadevan

it works for me to create an xml and run it , is like this

According to me the biggest which mostly everyone is doing is adding Parameter tag after test block in testng.xml specially for @before annotation case, that is 

<suite name="Suite">

  <test thread-count="5" name="Test">

  <parameter name="browser"  value="chrome_u"/>

    <classes>

      <class name="Demo_Package.Dummmmy"/>

    </classes>

  </test> <!-- Test -->

</suite> <!-- Suite -->

Correct one is:-

<suite name="Suite">

  <parameter name="browser" value="chrome_u"/>

  <test thread-count="5" name="Test">

    <classes>

      <class name="demo_Package.Dummmmy"/>

    </classes>

  </test> <!-- Test -->

</suite> <!-- Suite -->

and we can add the @Optional too now that is 

@Parameters({"browser"})

@BeforeSuite(alwaysRun=true)

public void login(@Optional("chrome") String browser) throws Exception

        {

[Satish T]

if you want to run the the same test case from independent class then use such syntax

@Test

@Parameters({ "browser", "version" })

public void takeScreenShot(@Optional("firefox") String x, @Optional("65") String y) { ......}

and if ur running from testng.xml then u need not to add @Option parameter in ur test

 <suite name="Suite">

<parameter name="browser" value="firefox"></parameter>

<parameter name="version" value="65"></parameter>

<test thread-count="5" name="Test">

<classes>

<class name="com.qa.tests.ExcelWrite" />

</classes>

</test> <!-- Test -->

basically when u run the test case from indenedent class then testng.xml never comes into picture so the @Test will not get values and u will get error, to avoid this error we use @Optional  , means if ur @Test will not get values then it uses from @Optional
