Run a testNG test suite with a jar / no runnable method

Question

I need your help ! At work I'll need to automate tests to test an entire application. Point is, I am beginner at Java and at automation.

I am trying different tutorial and it works good. But now, I wanna progress. I will need to deliver my tests but as .jar. And it doesn't work, because i need a main class. I am trying to add it, but it doesn't work.

I UPDATED my scripts to correct and simplified them but I am still having some problems. Now I have :

A main class to launch the test :

package nouguierc.selenium;
import org.testng.TestListenerAdapter;
import org.testng.TestNG;

public class TestRunner {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Running tests!");
    TestListenerAdapter tla = new TestListenerAdapter();
    TestNG testng = new TestNG();
    testng.setTestClasses(new Class[] { RegistrationTest.class });
    testng.addListener(tla);
    testng.run();
}
}

I have the warning message : "The method addListener from the type testNG is deprecated"

I have also the test I want to exec (and put as a runnable jar also) :

package nouguierc.selenium;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;
import com.relevantcodes.extentreports.ExtentReports;
import com.relevantcodes.extentreports.ExtentTest;
import com.relevantcodes.extentreports.LogStatus;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;


public class RegistrationTest{

public  ExtentReports extent;
public  ExtentTest test;
public  int a = 1;
WebDriver driver=null;

@Test //This is TestNG annotation

public void testRegister(){

        extent = ExtentManager.Instance();


                    try{

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\nouguierc\\Desktop\\Projets\\Testing\\Airbus\\Automatisation\\testCélia\\WD_Automation\\chromedriver.exe");
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        driver.get("http://newtours.demoaut.com/");

        test = extent.startTest("VerificationReporting", "AlorsAlors");

        driver.findElement(By.linkText("REGISTER")).click();
        driver.findElement(By.name("firstName")).sendKeys("User1");
        driver.findElement(By.name("lastName")).sendKeys("Surname1");
        driver.findElement(By.name("phone")).sendKeys("123456789");
        driver.findElement(By.name("userName")).sendKeys("user1@test.com");
        driver.findElement(By.name("address1")).sendKeys("Test Address");
        driver.findElement(By.name("city")).sendKeys("Test City");
        Select select = new Select(driver.findElement(By.name("country")));
        select.selectByVisibleText("ANGOLA");
        driver.findElement(By.name("email")).sendKeys("user1@test.com");
        driver.findElement(By.name("password")).sendKeys("user1");
        driver.findElement(By.name("confirmPassword")).sendKeys("user1");
        driver.findElement(By.name("register")).click();

        if(a == 1)
            test.log(LogStatus.PASS, "OK" );
        else
            test.log(LogStatus.FAIL, "NOT OK" );

        driver.quit();

        }

        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            driver.quit();
        }

    extent.endTest(test);
    extent.flush();
    extent.close();
}   

}

When I exec the test on Eclipse, I have this result :

Running tests!
[TestNG] Running:
  Command line suite


===============================================
Command line suite
Total tests run: 0, Failures: 0, Skips: 0
===============================================

And when I export the jar thanks to Eclipse and run it with the cmd I have :

no manifest attribute in ExecutableJAR.jar

The test is opening google chrome to the adress "data;" and doing nothing. Then I have the following failed result :

testRegister java.lang.NullPointerException
at nouguierc.selenium.RegistrationTest.testRegister(RegistrationTest.java:61)
at nouguierc.selenium.TestRunner.main(TestRunner.java:13)
... Removed 22 stack frames

When I remove the line "driver.quit();" in the catch. The test is passed successfully but that's not normal because it happend nothing in google chrome. It should be KO

Maybe someone can help me ?

Answer 1

You have to set the property for chromedriver and put chromedriver.exe at your project level.

To run it as a jar you have to create a main class also :

package com.stack.JarCreation;

import org.testng.TestListenerAdapter;
import org.testng.TestNG;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        TestListenerAdapter tla = new TestListenerAdapter();
        TestNG testng = new TestNG();
        testng.setTestClasses(new Class[] { RunnableJar.class });
        testng.addListener(tla);
        testng.run();
    }
}

package com.stack.JarCreation;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class RunnableJar {
    public int a = 1;

    @Test
    public void testRegister() {
        WebDriver driver=null;
        try {
            System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", System.getProperty("user.dir") + "\\chromedriver.exe");
            driver = new ChromeDriver();
            driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
            driver.manage().window().maximize();
            driver.get("http://newtours.demoaut.com/");
            driver.findElement(By.linkText("REGISTER")).click();
            driver.findElement(By.name("firstName")).sendKeys("User1");
            driver.findElement(By.name("lastName")).sendKeys("Surname1");
            driver.findElement(By.name("phone")).sendKeys("123456789");
            driver.findElement(By.name("userName")).sendKeys("user1@test.com");
            driver.findElement(By.name("address1")).sendKeys("Test Address");
            driver.findElement(By.name("city")).sendKeys("Test City");
            Select select = new Select(driver.findElement(By.name("country")));
            select.selectByVisibleText("ANGOLA");
            driver.findElement(By.name("email")).sendKeys("user1@test.com");
            driver.findElement(By.name("password")).sendKeys("user1");
            driver.findElement(By.name("confirmPassword")).sendKeys("user1");
            driver.findElement(By.name("register")).click();

            if (a == 1)
                System.out.println("OK");
            else
                System.out.println("NOT OK");
            driver.quit();
        }

        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            driver.quit();
        }
    }
}

If it is not a maven project , convert it into maven project by Right clicking on your project and go to configure->convert to Maven project.

And replace your pom.xml with below file.

Create the Jar for Launch Configuration as Main-StackOverflow and put jar and chromedriver.exe at same location.
