How to get the project path in command line

Question

I create a TestNG project in Eclipse, and I use System.getProperty("user.dir") to get the base folder (like "D:\project\selenium") of the project, but when I run the TestNG in the command line, the base folder returns "C:\users\username\", is there any way to solve this question?

Answer 1

A similar issue was fixed in the latest version of the eclipse plugin: https://github.com/cbeust/testng/issues/903

You should try to upgrade the plugin.

Answer 2

Probably the issue is that when you run it via command line, your user.dir corresponds to your global user directory (C:\users\username).

Before you run your tests, try to change your current directory to the one where your Eclipse project is hosted (i.e. cd D:\project\selenium). And after that run your tests.

Unfortunately I do not have Windows at hand right now, so can't test it by myself.
