TestNG not running tests in testing suite

Question

I\'m trying to run a testing suite using XML and TestNG, but I\'m always getting the same message using both: Eclipse and the command line:

[TestNG] Running:
  /         


        

Answer 1

I had to change my method access modifier to public from private to get it working .

Answer 2

This can also happen when there is groups usage in suite.xml and @BeforeXXX annotations have missing alwaysRun = true.

@BeforeTest(alwaysRun = true)
public void setUp() throws IOException {
}

Answer 3

I had this same issue, here is what worked for me:

1. I put all of the TestNG libraries in a separate lib folder in my project

   a. com.beust.jcommander_1.72.0.jar

   b. org.apache-extras.beanshell.bsh_2.0.0.b6.jar

   c. org.testng_6.14.2.r201802161450.jar

   d. or.yaml.snakeyaml_1.17.0.jar

2. I also put a copy of selenium-server and chromedriver in the lib folder as well

3. From my project folder (with testng.xml located in the project root) I ran:

   java -cp .\lib\*;.\target\classes org.testng.TestNG testng.xml
