TestNG is like a blackbox. BUILD SUCCESS But no Tests were picked up to run. All the TestNG annotations were ignored. Sounds like TestNG problem, right ??
Probably not !
When I removed the Selenium, Appium code and leave just the empty methods and TestNG annotations, the tests are picked up just as we expected and run just fine!!
This is strange ! And makes me think that
> Selenium, Appium code preventing TestNG from running the test methods
Obviously, this could not be real.
Please help with your suggestions.
Here are the details…
I made sure and checked that
- My test class has no main method
- My test method has public qualifier
- My test method has no return parameter.
- Test annotation is from TestNG framework, not JUnit.
- test tag in xml config file has enabled=“true”
- Using TestNG version 7.11.0
- Whenever I try to give a wrong Java file path, TestNG complains that it is
not able to find it, meaning currently, it is having classpath correctly specified.
My software components are:
Operating system: Mac Sequoia 15.3.1
Appium server version: 2.15.0
Appium driver(s) and their version(s): [email protected]
Appium plugin(s) and their version(s): No plugins activated
Node.js version: v20.16.0
npm version: 10.8.1
Platform and version under test: iOS 18.3.1
Real device: Apple iPhone 11
JDK: 11.0.26
appium-java-client: 9.4.0
selenium-java client: 4.28.0
TestNG: 7.11.0
Here is the skeletal outline of my script.
package com.zq.mobile.browser.agent;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class StockQuoteCreation extends Util {
@Parameters({"platform","browser","device","udid"})
@BeforeClass //>>-->TestNG annotation
public void setUp( String platform,String browser,String device,String udid) {
super.setUp(platform, browser, device, udid);
}
* @Test //>>-->TestNG annotation
public void quoteCreationAndApprovalValidations() {
createStockQuoteInfoStep();// <----
addCustomer();// <----
}
* private void createStockQuoteInfoStep(){// <----
// Create Quote menu....
}
* private void addCustomer() {// <----
// 'Add Customers'...
}
* @AfterClass //>>-->TestNG annotation
public void tearDown(){
//.....
}
}
Here is the outline of my suite configuration xml file
