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 also had this problem, and none of the above solutions worked. Restarting Eclipse, however, did. I know this seems like an unnecessary answer, but I myself would have saved a lot of time if I had done it sooner, so I'll post it anyway.

Answer 2

Apparently, TestNG is wrong regarding generating the XML file for the testing suite.

Even though following their instructions to the letter, my tests were not running. I ended up with this testng.xml file and my tests, started to run:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="TestingSuite" parallel="none">
  <test name="Test1">
    <classes>
      <class name="tests.Page1"/>
    </classes>
  </test>
    <test name="Test 2">
        <classes>
            <class name="tests.Page2"/>
        </classes>
    </test>
</suite>

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
