why isn't Gradle running my TestNG testlistener?

[Todd Bradley]

Hi, I have a test listener, creatively named oracle.cloudstorage.qa.testListener.testListener. When I run TestNG tests from the command line using the -listener command line argument, my listener is instantiated and invoked as part of the TestNG startup, as expected. But when I run the tests from Gradle, using the TestNG plugin, my listener isn't invoked.

My build.gradle file has this as the task:

task productionTestMild(type: Test) {
    useTestNG() {
        includeGroups "production-mild"
        excludeGroups "bug"
        include 'com/cloudstorage/qa/**'
        useDefaultListeners = true

        options {
            options.parallel = "classes"
            options.threadCount = 3
            // This doesn't seem to actually work
            options.listeners << "com.cloudstorage.qa.testListener.testListener"
        }
    }
}

The options.parallel and options.threadCount seem to be honored, but not options.listeners. Can you see what I'm doing wrong? I'm using TestNG 6.11 and Gradle 2.13.

Thanks,

Todd.

I was able to have the listener invoked by adding it as below :

 

useTestNG() {
    suites 'src/test/resources/krmahadevan.xml'
    systemProperties(System.getProperties())
    options {
        listeners.add("com.rationaleemotions.EchoListener")
    }
}

 

Thanks & Regards

Thanks, Krishnan. It was completely user error. I was using the wrong listener. But I did switch to your style of configuring it, except that my "listeners.add" isn't inside of options {}. It's just inside useTestNG() {}. It still seems to work.
