Hello everyone,

 

On behalf of the TestNG Dev team, we are pleased to announce the availability of TestNG 7.4.0

 

TestNG 7.4.0 is now available in Maven Central.

 

Special thanks go to Julien Herr for helping out with all the code reviews, and of course, to all the other contributors who made this release possible.

 

Contributors who helped make TestNG become better in this release:

 

  • C.V.Aditya
  • Prashant Maroti
  • Arham Jain
  • Nan Liang
  • Yao Ma
  • Nikhil Suri
  • Jacek Centkowski
  • Lorenzo Orsatti

 

In this minor release, we focused on squashing some bugs.

We also added some small new features.

 

Feature #1

Ability to be notified when a data provider fails, through a TestNG listener.

 

TestNG already has a listener that will let you plug in your callbacks for the following with respect to a data provider (implement org.testng.IDataProviderListener interface)

You can now use this listener to be notified when a data provider fails as well.

 

Feature #2

Add the ability to override explicitly included test methods if they belong to any excluded groups via the configuration property : overrideIncludedMethods

 

Feature #3

Reduced memory foot print when trying to run tests with larger projects.

This is now a toggle feature which can be enabled via the JVM argument: -Dtestng.memory.friendly=true

 

Complete list of bugs that were fixed are as below:

 

  • GITHUB-2459: Support configurable start time - emailable report
