testNG: How to pass class name externally to testNG xml

[sunny sachdeva]

HI ,

I have huge list of classes which needs to be run. i am using maven surefire plugin and then build is triggered from Jenkins. I am looking for a way where I can pass some regular expression or keyword from jenkins and all the matching classes as per regular expression could be run.

Not sure but want to ask will bean shell script would work in this case? Would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Yes it should because beanshell script is basically a method selector and since it passes you an instance of ITestNGMethod object, you should be able to query this object to figure out the class name to which it belongs to and then apply your regex logic to it.

You can merely specify the packages part in your xml and you should be good. 

Give it a try and let us know what happens.

Thanks & Regards
