TestNG equivalent of @RunWith annotation?

[Karthik Krishnan]

Hi,

Can any one tell me what is the TestNG equivalent of JUnit4's   @RunWith annotation.

Thanks,

Kartik

Hi Karthik,

There is no such annotation because creating a runner with TestNG is trivial ("new TestNG()").  Do you have a specific JUnit4 runner in mind that you'd like to emulate with TestNG?

I was thinking about this the other day, if I had an @Test that in
turn created its own TestNG() and ran things in a specific way, is
there currently anyway to merge the results of that TestNG() with the
parent one?

Mmmh...  Can you give me an example of what you have in mind?

We actually have a very similar requirement, where we have tests which have to be run in-container. This is where something like @RunWith would come in handy I think. right now I use a factory, sort of as a hack, so it doesnt return any tests but instead deploys the tests to the container and invokes them. So in this case the new TestNG does happen, but within the container server. From the caller/client side, for example Eclipse or Maven, it is obviously not aware that any tests were run and so always reports zero tests. That sounds to me like what Mark is mentioning, merging test results from into the "parent".

I might be missing something, but I was not able to find a really proper way to accomplish the above.

Thanks
