Answer 1

I had this same problem when I imported my project from one PC to another on IntelliJ IDEA.

Below Solution worked for me:

1. Import project using Git.
2. After Importing IDE would prompt you a dialog on the bottom right corner saying "Import as Gradle", you need to select that but make Sure you have set JAVA_HOME and GRADLE(Gradle Home or Gradle wrapper both should work) properly.
3. Run the build.gradle and make sure all the dependencies are downloaded correctly without any error.
4. Now move to your Test Case and try to run with TestNG or JUnit and if you have followed above 3 steps properly you should able to run the test case.

Answer 2

For me the problem was very strange.
I have a testng.xml file at the root of my Eclipse project. When I changed the file through Eclipse, it wasn't changing the testng.xml file in my directory.

Turns out it made a copy of the folder into the eclipse workspace..

Hope this helps someone out

Note: You have to specify class name along with packages as given below.

<suite name="testNGLearning">
    <test name="simpleTest">
        <classes>
            <class name="testngTests.TestNGSimpleTest" />
            <class name="testngTests.TestMessageUtil" />
        </classes>
    </test>
</suite>

I had no problems with this until recently.

Now I had to move the suite's xml test file into the root of the project I was testing.

It may be that there is a setting to point at the classes I am testing, but I have not found it.
