using testng listeners and maven

[Roman Bogorodskiy]

Hello,

I have a question about using testng listeners with maven. Here's
testng-realated configuration in
pom.xml:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.testng</groupId>
<artifactId>testng</artifactId>
<version>5.8</version>
<classifier>jdk15</classifier>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

..............

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.2</version>
<configuration>
<suiteXmlFiles>
<suiteXmlFile>src/test-data/testng.xml</suiteXmlFile>
</suiteXmlFiles>
</configuration>
</plugin>

I followed this instruction:
http://testng.org/doc/documentation-main.html#logging-listeners
and created a listener and then added it to testng.xml this way:

<suite name="TestSuite">
<listeners>
<listener-name class-name="com.foo.bar.TestListener"/>
</listeners>

And it doesn't seem to be executed. Nothing happens as well when I
replace my class with
"org.testng.reporters.DotTestListener" or even "i.do.not.exist" - I
don't see errors nor warnings.

I've tried to configure listeners inside maven surefire plugin, like
it's described in its documentation:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin//examples/testng.html
(<property><name>listener</name>...).

What am I doing wrong?

I am also facing the same problem but while compiling the code I am getting the following exception

You seem to get this fixed at your end. Not sure what symbol is missing here, but am guessing that you perhaps don’t have the TestNG libraries in your dependency.

Thanks & Regards

I have been able to run Listener from a Maven Surefire project just fine.  This project on Github (that I created) shows that it works:
