如何从命令提示符下运行Maven项目testng.xml

Question

I am using linux mechine(ubuntu 14). my project is maven project with testng frame work. here i am trying to run the testng.xml from the command prompt so that i can configure in jenkins.

project location : /home/subhash/workspace/myproject
class path is  : /home/subhash/workspace/myproject/bin
testng jar locattion is: /home/subhash/.m2/repository/org/testng/testng/6.9.4/testng-6.9.4.jar"

suite location is : /home/subhash/workspace/suites/src/test/resources/testng.xml

hence i executed the following command from command prompt from the location.
/home/subhash/workspace/myproject/bin$ 

$ java -cp ".:../lib/*:/home/subhash/.m2/repository/org/testng/testng/6.9.4/testng-6.9.4.jar" org.testng.TestNG /home/subhash/workspace/suites/src/test/resources/testng.xml

i got the following Exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/beust/jcommander/ParameterException

hence i have added the dependency in pom.xml as follows.

<dependency>
<groupId>com.beust</groupId>
<artifactId>jcommander</artifactId>
<version>1.48</version>

build it. it was successful. again i have run the above mentioned command to run the testng.xml but still same exception is displayed.

Please help me in this issue.

Thanks in advance. Subhash.

Answer 1

Take a look at this question: Suddenly can't run TestNG tests from ant ([testng] Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.beust.jcommander.ParameterException)

It seems to be the same problem

Hope helps!

UPDATE

Try to add to the cp java argument the 'beust' jar path in m2.

Answer 2

It would be easier running the tests using mvn test instead of the testng jar. Setup the mvn surefire plugin in pom and run using mvn test -DsuiteXmlFile=src/test/resources/yourxml.xml
