Programmatically Running TestNG and Generating SureFire Reports

[Mark Hansen]

Does anyone know how I can run TestNG classes inside a Java program
and generated the sure-fire reports that you get when using Maven with
TestNG?

I know that the basic code for running a test within Java is like
this:

TestListenerAdapter tla = new TestListenerAdapter();
TestNG testng = new TestNG();
testng.setTestClasses(new Class[] { testClass });
testng.addListener(tla);
testng.run();

So, I'm wondering if there is a TestListenerAdapter within the
SureFire plugin that I can use for generating the reports.

Hi Mark,

These Surefire reports are actually context sensitive: if you use Surefire to run JUnit tests, you'll get JUnit reports, and the same with TestNG.

In other words, your code below should have generated these reports already, check your test-output/ directory.

Oh, cool. So I guess my next question, is:

How do I run surefire outside of Maven, i.e., programmatically? I
want to implement an API like this:

public void runTestNG(Class[] testNGClasses, File outputDir);

so the reports will be written to outpuDir. This is for a GUI-driven
test harness that lets a user select tests, run then, and then click
on links to read the reports.

Nevermind - I see these reports get generated by TestNG. I thought
Surefire was generating the reports. But, I don't need to call
Surefire at all to get reports.
