The ' characters around the executable and arguments are not part of the command.

[Paresh Gajeshwar]

Hello,

 I am trying to run TestNG classes from command prompt. For that I am using ant. But while executing it is giving one error "The ' characters around the executable and arguments are not part of the command.". Below is the steps written in build.xml file :

<project default="test">

 

 <path id="cp">

   <pathelement location="lib/testng-6.8.6beta.jar"/>

   <pathelement location="bin"/>

 </path>

 

 <taskdef name="testng" classpathref="cp"

          classname="org.testng.TestNGAntTask" />

 

 <path id="testng.classpath"> 

<fileset dir="lib"> 

<include name="**/*.jar"/> 

</fileset> 

 </path>

 <target name="test">

   <testng classpathref="testng.classpath">

<classpath location="bin"/>

     <classfileset dir="bin/com/selenium/excel/test_cases" includes="**/*.class"/>

   </testng>

 </target>

 

</project>

And command line output is as follows :
