Hi

I have the following testng.xml:

<suite>

</classes>

</test>

</suite>

And when executed (from eclipse) I get the following exception:

[TestNG] Reporter org.testng.reporters.XMLReporter@1ded0fd failed

java.lang.NullPointerException

It took me some time to realize what I did wrong. I couldn’t tell much from the exception message. But I finally realized I had missed the “name” attribute in the <suite> tag. Can this behavior be changed and a better error message provided? Do I need to write some tracker for this?

For an example, if I forget to add the “name” attribute within the <test> tag, there’s a very good error message. Would it be possible to get a similar error message, when “name” attribute is missing from <suite> tag? This is what the exception looks like when “name” is missing from <test> tag:

org.testng.TestNGException:

Test <test> element must define the name attribute

I just added a clearer error message in the beta (http://testng.org/beta ) but not Eclipse yet.
