Eclipse - Invalid classpath container: 'TestNG' in project and JUnit failed

Question

I'm using Eclipse 4.9, I tried to update new TestNG upgrade(7)

It failed so I rollback to previous version and now I have an issue

'Invalid classpath container: 'TestNG' in project

I can't fix it by

1. clean project (maven can't be execute due to NullpointerException below errors)

2. Reinstall TestNG

3. Remove and add TestNG library

I didn't find relevant answers for this issue

Error log:

EDIT 2

Eclipse 4.10 doesn't support TestNG plugin to needed to downgrade to Eclipse Neon

TestNG is only available only for version till (4.9)2018-09 , you hv not made plug in for 2018-12.that's why it is not showing in marketplace

Answer 1

the recent release supports Eclipse Photon 2018-12:

https://github.com/cbeust/testng-eclipse/releases/tag/6.14.3.201902250526

please raise ticket on github if you still meet issue.

Answer 2

I had to manually (not using marketplace) TestNG version from http://beust.com/eclipse/
