[testng-users] Setting up ReportNG in Eclipse

[Gergely]

Hi Guys!

I'm trying to setup reportng for TestNg to work.

I tired to following xml template:

<suite ...>
<listeners>
<listener class-name="org.uncommons.reportng.HTMLReporter" />
<listener class-name="org.uncommons.reportng.JUnitXMLReporter" />
</listeners>

I'm not sure what <suite...> should do :) Or is this only a notation
that it should be between suits or what? I'm not using testng xml so i
don't have one.

I tried without it too, but in that case it throws a nullpointer
exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.testng.xml.TestNGContentHandler.xmlListeners(TestNGContentHandler.java:
321)

I have the reportng file located in the project.

I also tried the annotation @Listeners and that helped but i have to
define that on each test class and i don't want to :)

Any help is appreciated!!

Thanks
Gergely.

Daniel, maybe your documentation should show a full testng.xml snippet instead of just the two listeners?

Gergely, you need to specify your test classes in your .xml file:

<suite name="My suite">

  <listeners>

    <listener class-name="org.uncommons.reportng.HTMLReporter" />
     <listener class-name="org.uncommons.reportng.JUnitXMLReporter" />
  </listeners>

  <test>

    <classes>

      <class name="test.tmp.A"/>

    </classes>

  </test>

</suite>

That is specified by Eclipse i don't create a testng.xml. eclipse
creates it so there is not <test> initially in the template because i
don't care about that part. That is the job of eclipse?!

Then specify your listeners in the Eclipse configuration.

Here is the documentation for the latest version of the plugin (5.12.xxx).

Yes i'm doing just that. And the template xml file is that that i
copied in:

<listeners>
<listener class-name="org.uncommons.reportng.HTMLReporter" />
<listener class-name="org.uncommons.reportng.JUnitXMLReporter" />
</listeners>

And the attached null pointer error happens. Do i have to put reportng
to some other location?

The NullPointerException is happening because you don't have a <suite> tag (your testng.xml is incorrect).

Okey.

So the template should look like this? :

<suite>
<listeners>
<listener class-name="org.uncommons.reportng.HTMLReporter" />
<listener class-name="org.uncommons.reportng.JUnitXMLReporter" />
</listeners>

</suite>

Almost worked but the report is not working. It only creates a
directory with the name null. And one html.

Okey if i understand correctly i'm missing a whole bunch of things
from this xml. But does things like suite name, test name, groups etc
are created by eclipse on the fly, so i don't wanna specify them. Or
am i getting this wrong?

Thanks!!
Gergely.

Try specifying a suite name (<suite name="Foo">).

Great!

Thanks, that helped. :)

Although now it displays Foo as test name of course :D I have to give
it some meaning full name. :)

Thanks very much!

Gergely.
