[TestNG] No tests found. Nothing was run -- When tests are run from a testJar

[Musaffir lp]

Hello,

I have a maven project and I use testNg of version 6.13.1
[ The project is mainly to execute my selenium tests and I also have reportNg plugin configured in the pom.xml file not sure this plugin causing any prob here, hence mentioning here ]...

I am able to invoke mvn package command ...and it makes the test jar during its build cycle as expected fine ...I verified that the test jar contains the test class ...

I wanted to utilize this test jar for some of my other purposes and hence wanted to run from commandline by passing the path of suite xml file which is also present in the root path of jar......

I invoke from the coomandline as

java -cp MyTestJar.jar;lib/* org.testng.TestNG -testjar MyTestJar.jar -xmlpathinjar MyTestSuite.xml

lib/* - contains all the dependencies

but when this runs , the testNG is getting invoked, I could see it is considering correct suite xml file etc...but always giving me in return as below

[TestNG] No tests found. Nothing was run 

I could not figure out what is causing this .... I understand this message is purposefully added in testNG..

Bit more info:
From the main maven project , I can use maven sure-fire plugin to execute the tests which is working fine .
In the maven build cycle it self I am making the test jar with below plugin

<plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.0.2</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>test-jar</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

I make all dependencies to be stored in lib with

<plugin>
                            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                            <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
                            <version>3.0.2</version>
                            <executions>
                                <execution>
                                    <id>copy-dependencies</id>
                                    <phase>prepare-package</phase>
                                    <goals>
                                        <goal>copy-dependencies</goal>
                                    </goals>
                                    <configuration>
                                        <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/lib</outputDirectory>
                                        <overWriteReleases>false</overWriteReleases>
                                        <overWriteSnapshots>false</overWriteSnapshots>
                                        <overWriteIfNewer>true</overWriteIfNewer>
                                    </configuration>
                                </execution>
                            </executions>
                        </plugin>

Couldn't figure out it my own. Please let me know if you have any leads to the solution

Many Thanks

Hi Musaffir , if there is any error in Listeners , you will end up such situation. Please check for any exceptions in Listener code.

Thanks Malli for checking this
I have figured out it
The reportNG plugin was causing the issue here
It was configured  as

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.uncommons</groupId>
            <artifactId>reportng</artifactId>
            <version>1.1.2</version>
            <scope>test<scope>  
            <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
                    <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>

Removing  <scope>test<scope> resolved the issue
I think its maven dependency issue when used testng seperately and used reportNg
I will update this forum with more explanation soon on this once i give some more study abt it ...hope it will be useful for future readers...

Thanks

Its not clear what your issue is.

The error you are seeing usually happens when TestNG cannot find test classes to execute. The root cause can be anything.

So lets start from the basics in terms of context.

1. What version of TestNG are you using?

2. How does the project structure look like?

3. How are you executing your tests ?

Thanks & Regards
