environment variables in testng.xml

[Ivan Delibashev]

Hi,

I am trying to use testng to execute tests automation server. Because
my test environment is dynamic i prefer not to hard-code it in
testng.xml.
For example i will execute tests against a server install on some
remote machine which can change.
Is there a way testng to be notified by testng.xml to look for system
environmet variables? In ant scripts this is done via "env.PATH"

Regards
Ivan

Hi Ivan,

This is not supported at the moment but TestNG does see system properties as parameters, so you can achieve a similar result as follows:

java -Dpath=$PATH org.testng.TestNG testng.xml

and in your code:

@Parameters("path")
@Test
public void f(String path) {
  ...
}
