all. I have existing xml file testng suite. I want to use it in gradle task and set thread count programmatically
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="UiTests">
<test name="UiTests" preserve-order="true">
<packages>
<package name="tests.web">
<exclude name="tests.web.performance"/>
</package>
</packages>
</test>
</suite>
In gradle task I use useTestNG method and set threadCount parameter
useTestNG{
suites("src/testы/suites/UiTests.xml")
threadCount 2
setParallel("methods")
}
But it doesn't works - count of threads get from xml file, so how I can set thread count programmatically?
The threadcount value specified in the TestNG suite xml file has the final say. That is why even though you try to set it via the TestNGOptions in your gradle test task, it doesnt take effect.
To get past this, you need to do the following:
- Make sure you are using TestNG v6.11 or higher.
- Build an implementation of
org.testng.IAlterSuiteListener
wherein you alter the thread count either at the XmlSuite
level (<suite>
level) or at the XmlTest
level (<test>
level)
- Add a reference to the above created listener into your TestNG suite xml file. Alternatively you can also inject the listener either via the
@Listeners
annotation (or) via your suite xml (or) via Serviceloaders. For more details read my blog post here
- Pass on all the System properties that gradle receives to your test task.
Here's how all of this looks like in action.
Test class looks like this
package test;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class ParallelRunner {
@Test(priority = 1)
public void a() {
System.err.println("**" + Thread.currentThread().getId());
}
@Test(priority = 2)
public void b() {
System.err.println("**" + Thread.currentThread().getId());
}
@Test(priority = 3)
public void c() {
System.err.println("**" + Thread.currentThread().getId());
}
@Test(priority = 4)
public void d() {
System.err.println("**" + Thread.currentThread().getId());
}
}
Test listener looks like this
public class SuiteAlterer implements IAlterSuiteListener {
@Override
public void alter(List<XmlSuite> suites) {
int count = Integer.parseInt(System.getProperty("threadcount", "3"));
XmlSuite suite = suites.get(0);
suite.setDataProviderThreadCount(count);
}
}
Suite xml looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="many_methods_suite" verbose="2">
<listeners>
<listener class-name="com.rationaleemotions.SuiteAlterer"/>
</listeners>
<test name="many_methods_test" parallel="methods">
<classes>
<class name="test.ParallelRunner"/>
</classes>
</test>
</suite>
The gradle test task looks like this
test {
useTestNG() {
suites 'src/test/resources/krmahadevan.xml'
systemProperties(System.getProperties())
}
testLogging.showStandardStreams = true
}
Here's the output
~/temp/example
23:15 $ gradle -Dthreads=2 clean test

You can now control the thread count by passing in an appropriate via the JVM argument -Dthreads
