System Property visible to testng.xml?

[Grig]

I have a parameter in the testng.xml that I want the value to be
populated from the System Property.

<parameter name="esb-url" value="<SYSTEM_PROPERTY ESBURL>" />

Is this possible?

Hi Grig,

You can use ANT (or Maven), to replace those items. For example in ANT:

<target name="replace-esb-url">

   <property environment="env" />

   <property name="esburl" value="${env.ESBURL}" />

   <copy todir="." overwrite="yes">

     <fileset dir=".">

       <include name="testng.xml" />

     </fileset>

     <filterset>

       <filter token="ESBURL" value="${esburl}" />

       </filterset>

    </copy>

</target>

Then within your testng.xml, you can just use:

<parameter name="esb-url" value="%ESBURL%" />

The above is not tested, but hopefully it will help you out.

Kind regards,
Mohamed Mansour

Hi Grig,

System properties are automatically exposed as TestNG parameters, so you should be able to use the system property directly in your class.

For example:

@Parameters("url")

@Test

public void f(String url) {

 ...

}

java -Durl="http://foo.com" org.testng.TestNG <your class>

Hi, 

From my attempt,  system properties cannot override the values set in testng.xml files

Please confirm

Thanks
