Announcing TestNG 2.4

[Cedric Beust]

We are happy to announce the availability of TestNG 2.4.

 

There are a lot of new features and bug fixes in this release, and also note that this release includes the new packaging ("org.testng").  The classes com.beust.testng.TestNG and com.beust.testng.TestNGAntTask will keep working, so you don't need to update them if you don't want to, but everything else has been moved under org.testng.

 

A complete list of changes is included below.

 

Please note that the Eclipse plug-in has not been updated yet to this new version (I will announce this separately).

I just downloaded 2.4 and the javadocs are totally messed up. When I display index.html,

it only shows 2 classes, TestNG and TestNGAntTask. Seems like all the org.testng.* classes

are missing.

Steven I have checked the build.xml and it seems oke. Can you try it and let me know if it works as
expected?

[Steven Buroff]

It doesn't. I had to change it and I have it working now. I've attached
the file I modified. Check out the "javadocs" target. You forgot to change
the package names.

Steve, the Web site looks okay to me after a few random clicks:

 

http://testng.org/javadocs/org/testng/package-summary.html

http://testng.org/javadocs/org/testng/ISuite.html

http://testng.org/javadocs/org/testng/AssertJUnit.html

 

Can you be more specific?

Ah ok I see.  For some reason, it's the older build.xml that was included in the distribution.  Odd.

 

I'll fix that right away.

 

Having said that, if you want to build TestNG, you are better off getting it from the CVS depot since the distribution doesn't contain all the jar files necessary to rebuild it from scratch...

I'm talking about the download file. If you download testng-2.4.zip and unzip it and then display

<installdir>/javadocs/index.html, you'll see only the 2 classes. I think what's on the web

site isn't what's in the zip file unless testng-2.4.zip isn't the latest.

Ah ok I see.  For some reason, it's the older build.xml that was included in the distribution.  Odd. 

and used to generate the javadocs in the distribution apparently. 

 

I'll fix that right away.

Thanks for the info. However, I didn't really want to rebuild it and I didn't do a full build, I just did an

"ant javadocs" to rebuild the javadocs after I modified the build.xml file.

The build.xml on cvs was updated by me after Cedric ported the package names (and comitted). So I am
not sure what is causing the problem.

Ok, this should be fixed now.

 

Thanks for catching this, Steve!
