Hi Somesh,

Haven't managed to pass parameters that way.

Managed to pass from Ant to TestNG parameters.
e.g. if your ant task contains

<sysproperty key="browser" value="${browser}"/>

and your test contains

    @Parameters({ "browser",...})

    @Test

    public void someTest(

then value will be passed into test.
Please note that corresponding parameter tag in testng.xml file

<parameter name="selenium" value="firefox" />

should be removed!

Thanks,
Yevhen

Hi,

please use this code to access testng.xml through ANT.

<target name="run" depends="compile">
        <testng haltonfailure="true"
            useDefaultListeners="false"
            listeners="org.uncommons.reportng.HTMLReporter"
            classpath ="${test.classpath}:${build.dir}">
            <xmlfileset dir="${basedir}/Suite" includes="testng.xml"/>
        </testng>
    </target>

Hello Yevhen,

Thanks for response & sorry for delay!!

I am able to pass parameter to 'test' method but here I am only looking to get parameter reference in testNG.xml so as to dynamically generate Suite Name's as mentioned in link too

Hello,

Now, I face the same problems as you. Have you figured it out?? I search the internet. However, most of them are passing argument to test class. I just want to pass parameter from build.xml to testNG.xml so I can dynamically type in the group I want to run in testNG.

Hi,
I don't think you can have any variables or properties in testng.xml. However, you can set the suite name dynamically. Example here: https://bpaste.net/show/51088f3a089a
If you pass the parameter to beforeSuite defined as parameter or Java property (ANT properties are automatically set as Java properties AFAIK) you can use that to set test or suite name. This WILL affect how the test is shown in e.g. Eclipse TestNG Results, but will not change the name of the directory where results are saved.

Cheers

Hi,

Thank you very much for your reply. Maven seems can solve my problem. I am working towards it recently.

Best Regards,

Judy
