How to change TestNG deafult test-output directory name

[SPS]

Hello all,

Each time you run TestNG , it creates a default directory test-output directory. We want to store that directory for each run. For that matter we would like to change the name to test-output+time_stamp otherwise it overwrites.Is there way we can do that.

Thanks

How are you running your tests ? If its via maven, then I think you should be able to define the output directory on the fly via the maven surefire plugin [ please go through its documentation ]

Thanks & Regards

Hello Krishnan,

I am using Maven, I went through Maven documentation . I am not good in Maven , just trying to understand though. According to documentation, I added sure-fire-plugin as follows but not working.

<plugin>

  <configuration>

    <reportDirectory>./test-output/${timestamp}  </reportDirectory>

</configuration>

</plugin>

Sneha,

Something like this should work 

<reportsDirectory>${project.build.directory}/surefire-reports-${maven.build.timestamp}</reportsDirectory>

Thanks & Regards
