Hi,

We are looking forward TestNG 7.0.0 released, which includes lots of bug fix and new features. 
 
May I know when TestNG 7.0.0 will be released. Any plan could be shared here?

Yehui,

TestNG 7.0.0 now has a good set of features and I think we can go ahead with a release.

We will publish the release plan soon after internal discussions with the TestNG dev.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Krishnan, 

That's great news.
We're on an older version and want to upgrade but 6.X versions seem to have shifting behaviors between versions, so 7.0.0 will be a good baseline to aim for.
It would be great if there will be a 7.0.0 beta version published beforehand (maybe there is?), so people can test it out in their environments to catch any weird bugs.

Dagan,

 

You don’t need to wait till TestNG 7.0.0 is released.

We already publish the SNAPSHOT versions to Maven Central.

 

So can you please quickly try using TestNG 7.0.0-SNAPSHOT and report back if you see any discrepancies ?

 

https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/testng/testng/7.0.0-SNAPSHOT/

 

Thanks & Regards

I cannot import the 7.0.0-STAPSHOT version to my maven project 

<dependency>
<groupId>org.testng</groupId>
<artifactId>testng</artifactId>
<version>7.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

this dependency cannot be downloaded 
is it possible to publish BETA version to maven repository ?

Sargis,

 

There are a few outstanding PRs that need to be merged before we can start publishing BETA versions. That is why we are asking to try using 7.0.0-SNAPSHOT for now.

 

Can you please let us know why is it that you cannot depend on a SNAPSHOT version?

 

Thanks & Regards

Krishnan Mahadevan

I also don't see a SNAPSHOT in Maven:


Or are you saying to use a different repository?

Thanks!

Greg,

There is no different repository.

TestNG is publishing to the standard SNAPSHOT repository only:


You perhaps may have to add a <repository> tag to the ~/.m2/settings.xml which points to the snapshot URL and then try resolving the artifact.

I think that's where the confusion lies.  You said that you publish the snapshot to Maven Central " We already publish the SNAPSHOT versions to Maven Central. "  However, it's not on maven central, it's on the snapshot repository.


Thanks!

Now that I shared the link to where it is getting published I am assuming things are clear.

Just to clarify: you can't publish snapshots to Maven Central, it's not allowed.

So when somebody says they pushed a snapshot to Maven Central, they really mean to the Maven Central snapshot repo.

You'll need to add a <repository> definition for where-ever the snapshot lives to allow for:

<snapshots>
  <enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>

I didn't think CENTRAL allowed SNAPSHOTs tho? May release an -alpha1 build?

Guys, 

we are using internal artifactory where the Maven Central snapshot is not accessible and we cannot use try it out. Do you have already the final release date? Or will you publish a beta version to Maven Repository before the final version

I guess I was thrown off by the 'beta1' part.

Anyway I will either have to wait for another release or pull down a version that has  https://github.com/cbeust/testng/pull/1936 integrated into it.

I guess the question is more - when is a 7.0.0 FINAL / GOLD MASTER / GA version being released. We deliberatelyly filter beta versions from any range resolution at work.

Do we know if it will have https://github.com/cbeust/testng/pull/1936? I am using 7.0.0-SNAPSHOT, and I still see the "did not expect to find" when it should have said "expected to find" in the soft assertion failures.

Here is an example assertion:

a.assertTrue(false);

Here is the (incorrect) error:
java.lang.AssertionError: The following asserts failed: did not expect to find [true] but found [false]

This may prevent us from using 7 and we may need to wait until it gets fixed. So, just something to consider.

Please try using TestNG 7.0.0-beta3 ( latest released version as of today). It should have this fix.
