Re: [testng-users] newbie: Help needed with @factory annotation

[Cédric Beust ♔]

I am confused: if it runs fine with testng.xml, what did you use to compile your code if it fails with ant?

Hi All,

I am a newbie to testng.I have used a factory method in the following way in code:

@Factory(dataProviderClass=test.DVODataProvider.class,dataProvider="SampleDataProvider")
 public ExcelSheetReader(String line) {

Execution via testng.xml is working fine and see the output as expected.I want to run the same through Ant build file.But the compilation fails with error

 C:\Users\nraj\workspace\TestNGDemo1\src\test\ExcelSheetReader.java:47: cannot find symbol
    [javac] symbol  : method dataProviderClass()
    [javac] location: @interface org.testng.annotations.Factory
    [javac]     @Factory(dataProviderClass=test.DVODataProvider.class,dataProvider="fileDataProvider")
    [javac]              ^
    [javac] C:\Users\nraj\workspace\TestNGDemo1\src\test\ExcelSheetReader.java:47: annotation type not applicable to this kind of declaration
    [javac]     @Factory(dataProviderClass=test.DVODataProvider.class,dataProvider="fileDataProvider")

Can someone please guide me how to overcome this error.

Thanks in advance

Neha,

I have seen such kind of errors when trying to compile a project which has annotations using Maven.

Maven by default would make use of JDK 1.4 but for annotations to be recognized JDK 1.5 or higher would be needed. 

Perhaps ANT has a similar thing too ?

I found this thread which shows how to specify the version of JDK to ant : http://www.coderanch.com/t/108814/tools/specify-jdk-version-build-xml

Thanks & Regards

Hi ,

The issue got resolved.The buildpath had two versions of Testng library added.I removed the older version jar.The program is giving results with Ant build now as well.
Sorry for the blast..:P

Thanks,

Neha.
