Option [Run –> Run As –> TestNG] Test is not coming

[A B]

I have configured TestNG with Eclipse. I created a script with TestNG annotation.
[Run –> Run As –> TestNG] Test is not displayed, it is showing [Run As -> Java Application].

Cheers,

Are you sure you have used TestNG annotation. Check the import files, by mistake you might has used JUnit Annotation.

If you have a class with "public static void main(String[] args)" method and no @Test annotation it will not have a TestNG run option. For example,

class Foo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // do nothing

    }

}

This will give you Run->Run As->Java Application. If it has the @Test annotation it can be run as a TestNG class. For example,

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

class Foo {

    @Test

    public void main(String[] args) {

        // do nothing

    }

}

Note that the method is NOT static. This will give you Run->Run As->TestNG. If it matches both requirements, you will have both run options. For example,

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

class Foo {

    @Test

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // do nothing

    }

}

This class has the correct method to be a Java Application but it also has the minimum requirements for a TestNG class. So the Run menu will have:

Run->Run As->Java Application

Run->Run As->TestNG
