Hi Mahesh,

Please refer the below,I think it may help you.

public class XmlMainClass {

      

 @Test

public static void main(String[] args) {

 

// Create object of TestNG Class

TestNG runner=new TestNG();

 

// Create a list of String

List<String> suitefiles=new ArrayList<String>();

 

// Add xml file which you have to execute

suitefiles.add("Path of your XML File");

 

// now set xml file for execution

runner.setTestSuites(suitefiles);

 

 

 

// finally execute the runner using run method

runner.run();

}

 

}

 

Regards,

Raju

Raju,

main() methods dont get executed by surefire-plugin when you invoke the test phase via mvn clean test.

So I don't think this would work. What you have shared here is a sample to show how to use the TestNG APIs and run tests manually via a main method.

Thanks & Regards

Mahesh,

Don't have a working example,  but you may setup maven exec plugin to execute your main in pre-test phase
