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

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 2

I had the same problem and here is my results: In my project I had test file in

src/test/java/com/temporary/core

and in the same time I had resources for the test in

src/test/resources/com/temporary/Core

As I found, testng tried to find test file in the second directory.

When I renamed directory with resources from Core to tcore, the problem was fixed.

Answer 3

You could also check imports for imported Test annotation, should be:

import org.testng.annotations.Test;
@Test
public myTest(){ ... }

and not for example:

import org.junit.Test;

Answer 4

I had done all possible solution that everyone shared here and still does not work.

Heard someone mentioned creating a new workspace.

So I started a new workspace and recreated the whole TestNG suite & methods.

It worked!

Most probably my other TestNg stuff in my previous workspace could have conflicted with the recent Testng setup.

So starting a new workspace solved!

Answer 5

if the @Test method is public boolean() with return type as true/flase it doesnot execute.. strange but worked in my-case.

Answer 6

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