Pass parameter values to testng.xml using pom.xml

[ct.g...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I want to pass parameters from maven goal to testng.xml. Suggest me how to do this. I have tried below code but no luck.

Pom.xml

<plugin>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
   <version>${maven-surefire-plugin.version}</version>
   <configuration>
      <systemPropertyVariables>
         <automation.name>${automation.name}</automation.name>
         <browser.name>${browser.name}</browser.name>
         <browser.version>${browser.version}</browser.version>
         <environment>${environment}</environment>
         <platform.name>${platform.name}</platform.name>
         <base.url>${base.url}</base.url>
      </systemPropertyVariables>
      <parallel>methods</parallel>
      <threadCount>5</threadCount>
      <suiteXmlFiles>
         <suiteXmlFile>${testset}</suiteXmlFile>
      </suiteXmlFiles>
   </configuration>
</plugin>

testng.xml

<test name="First Test" >
    <parameter name="automationName" value="${automation.name}"/>
    <parameter name="browser" value="${browser.name}"/>
    <parameter name="browserVersion" value="${browser.version}"/>
    <parameter name="platformName" value="${platform.name}"/>
    <parameter name="environment" value="${environment}"/>
    <classes>
       <class name="com.salesforce.stepdefinitions.HomePage_Steps" />
    </classes>
</test>

Maven goal:

clean compile test -Dtestset=testng.xml -Dbase.url=https://login.salesforce.com -Dautomation.name=BDD_Demo -Dplatform.name="windows 7" -Dbrowser.name=chrome -Dbrowser.version="59.0" -Denvironment=local

When execute above maven goal i can able to get value using System.getProperty() but the property is not passing from pom.xml to testng.xml.

System.out.println(automationName);
System.out.println(browser);
System.out.println(platformName);
System.out.println(environment);
System.out.println(System.getProperty("testset"));
System.out.println(System.getProperty("automation.name"));
System.out.println(System.getProperty("browser.name"));
System.out.println(System.getProperty("browser.version"));
System.out.println(System.getProperty("environment"));
System.out.println(System.getProperty("platform.name"));
System.out.println(System.getProperty("base.url"));

O/P:
${automation.name}
${browser.name}
${platform.name}
${environment}
testng.xml
BDD_Demo
chrome
59.0
local
windows 7
https://login.salesforce.com

Here instead of ${automation.name} it should print BDD_Demo.

Thanks,
Raju

TestNG has the ability to visualize a parameter name as a JVM argument as well.

 

So from your example:

 

    <parameter name="automationName" value="${automation.name}"/>
    <parameter name="browser" value="${browser.name}"/>
    <parameter name="browserVersion" value="${browser.version}"/>
    <parameter name="platformName" value="${platform.name}"/>
    <parameter name="environment" value="${environment}"/>

All the above can be looked at as JVM arguments. So you could just do -DautomationName=foo -Dbrowser=firefox -DbrowserVersion=60 -DplatformName=WINDOWS -Denvironment=QA

 

For more details please take a look at my blog post: https://rationaleemotions.wordpress.com/2017/09/29/dynamic-parameterization-in-testng/
