Maven tests not running when executed from command line

Question

I am trying to run one project from the command line using mvn test command. It shows build success but not running any tests. I am using TestNG. Console output:

I have tried all the suggestions provided in StackOverflow but still, it's not running. I don't have surefire plugin as well. Please let me know what I am missing here.

Here is my pom.xml:

Answer 1

Need to configure below plugins in order to run test using maven:

1. AddMaven-compiler-plugin : Compiler-plugin is used to compile the sources of our project

    <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <compilerVersion>3.5.1</compilerVersion> <source>8</source> <target>8</target> </configuration> </plugin>

2. Add Maven-surefire-plugin : Surefire-plugin is responsible for running tests that are placed in test source directory /src/test/java .

    <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.0.0-M5</version> <configuration> <suiteXmlFiles> <suiteXmlFile>testng.xml</suiteXmlFile> </suiteXmlFiles> </configuration> </plugin>

Both plugin should be under <plugins> tag. Replace your testng.xml file relative path here. eg A folder name config created under your project and placed the testng.xml file, then xml path would be config/testng.xml .

Answer 2

The fix is very natural!

You are in current dir CWD , your POM is located in /pom.xml , you run mvn test , and your configuration says testng.xml .

So the topic should be named "Where the testng.xml ought to be".

If the config says testng.xml then the Suite XML should be at:

/testng.xml

the same directory where the POM is located - /pom.xml

But if you configure src/test/resources/testng.xml , then the real location of the TestNG Suite XML would be:

/src/test/resources/testng.xml , where the "/" is the CWD - exactly the directory where the pom.xml is placed and then src/test/resources are sub-directories.

Please read the documentation!

Especially see this part in the documentation:

      <suiteXmlFiles>
        <file>src/test/resources/testng1.xml</file>
        <file>src/test/resources/testng2.xml</file>
      </suiteXmlFiles>
