How to read testng.xml file in java.

[Raju]

Hi All,

I need to read testng.xml file in java. When i run the java class the
testng.xml file should invoke and execute the test scripts.
Can any body help me in this. Its very urgent.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Raju.

You can either let testng handle the parsing and execute the tests by
using "java org.testng.TestNG testng1.xml" or if you'd like your
custom class to execute the tests, you can use the Parser class in
org.testng.xml package (http://code.google.com/p/testng/source/browse/
trunk/src/org/testng/xml/Parser.java?spec=svn945&r=945). The parse()
method in that class will return a collection of XmlSuite from your
xml file.

Hi Raju,

I am not quite understanding your question here.Are you trying to have
your Java code start TestNG reading you testng.xml file, or do you
simply want to read the file in your code for some reason?

Simply reading the file will not cause your tests to automatically
start.

If you want to start TestNG from within your program, take a look at
this site:
http://testng.org/doc/documentation-main.html#running-testng-programmatically

I use that to start my tests so my program runs standalone and can be
invoked by a script/batch file. The calls it describes builds the XML
file in memory, although it does end up where you have it place the
reports eventually.

If you actually want to read the XML file try looking in the testng
code to see how it does it. There is probably some public methods it
is using that you can take advantage of yourself to do the same thing.

Thank you for your help..i got the solution..
Here the solution ...

List<String> file = new ArrayList<String>();
file.add("Suite.xml");
TestNG testNG = new TestNG();
testNG.setTestSuites(file);
testNG.run();
