Answer 1

I came across the same issue stated above today. **setting the class-path again in eclipse ** solved the issue .

Answer 2

Got the IDE working again. The solution is quite funny - and even a re-install, and deleting the IDE does not fix it on windows. What you need to do in that case, is to go to the testNG run configurations - and delete them all. This is for the TestNG XML classpath error on windows OS. I am using spring tools suite 3.6.4.

Make certain that you delete all the configurations, make sure the project can build, and if there are no problems, the test should run now.

Answer 3

After done trying everything that I found on this issue, in eclipse,

I selected my project --> right click --> Run as --> Maven generate-sources

Then I re-ran my TestNG project and it ran perfectly fine without any issues.Hope that helps :)

Answer 4

I had the same issue when i was using selenium 3.11.xx dependency however my problem was resolved when i used selenium 3.4.x dependency.

Answer 5

This issue can be resolved by adding TestNG.class package to OnlineStore package as below

1. Step 1: Build Path > Configure Build Path > Java Build Path > Select "Project" tab
2. Step 2: Click "add" button and select the project with contains the TestNG source.
3. Step 3 select TestNG.xml run as "TestNG Suite"

Answer 6

You have to edit your tests Runner xml file. See this example:

 <test name="Employees Test">
               <classes>
                      <class name="packagename.classname">
                       </class>
               </classes>
 </test>

In <class name="packagename.classname"> row you must enter your tests package name then name of class that you want to run.

Thanks and wish you all the best.
